Shotoku USA To Return To NAB Show NY

Shotoku USA has announced it is returning to NAB Show NY 2018 after launching in North America with several US-based success stories in the coffer, including legislative TV systems and large, multi-studio projects involving more than 30 camera channels and SmartPed fully robotic pedestals.

The manufacturer will showcase its range of robotic pan/tilt heads and height drives at the show in Booth N743.

Shotoku USA's Robotic Support Specialist, Matt Servis, will be on hand to demonstrate some of the most popular pan and tilt heads from the Company's full range of robotically controlled configurations, as well as discuss any aspect of the system, from initial design and specification through installation, commissioning and US-based after sales service.

"Our US-based team has been busy supporting customers with the finest technology, highest quality service, and most reliable gear available since we first introduced Shotoku USA at NAB 2017," said James Eddershaw, managing director of Shotoku UK. "The US Company was launched to bring our well-known and exceptional sales and service to North America, and it's important that our customers - and potential customers – know we are close-by and available to them. We're happy to bring some of our most popular products to this growing industry event, but even more delighted to have Matt representing us and talking to visitors about Shotoku and all we have to offer the broadcasting industry."

Shotoku's robotic pan/tilt head series will be represented by the TG-18 that combines high-accuracy, smooth movement, silent operation and high payload with a full manual override capability. The TG-18 will be joined by the small, light weight TG-27 head, ideal for parliaments, legislatures and small TV studios.

The Company will also show its height drive capabilities via the cost-effective Ti-11 fully integrated elevating column for robotic applications such as weather studios, news-desks and other open-area camera positions where manual operation is not a primary requirement.
