Vinten Launches VEGA Lite PTZ Control System

Vinten has announced the launch of VEGA Lite, a new broadcast-ready PTZ control solution designed to bring professional automation, consistent workflows and scalable control to broadcast environments using PTZ cameras.

Unveiled on 3 February 2026, the latest addition to the VEGA platform extends Vinten’s broadcast robotics expertise to PTZ-based productions, allowing studios to integrate PTZ cameras into established broadcast workflows without the cost or complexity of a full robotic camera system.

VEGA Lite combines advanced PTZ camera control with integration for dedicated PTZ supports and higher-payload Vinten robotic heads. The system is aimed at secondary studios, streaming spaces, stand-up presentation areas and facilities built around PTZ-centric workflows, while also supporting hybrid environments where PTZ cameras operate alongside traditional production tools.

The platform supports broadcast PTZ cameras from Sony, Canon and Panasonic, as well as Vinten robotic heads, giving broadcasters flexibility to deploy PTZ cameras without being locked into a single manufacturer’s ecosystem.

Designed for live broadcast operation, VEGA Lite includes broadcast-style features such as a shot grid for instant visibility of presets, multi-shots for flexible output, joystick profile editing and rapid recall of presets for specific sets and shows. Advanced capabilities include keyframe-based movement sequences, playout integration with all major automation systems, and AI-driven Presenter Tracking.

"PTZ cameras are now a permanent part of broadcast production, but the control layer has not kept pace," said Sergio Brighel, EVP Robotics and Prompting Technology, Videndum. "VEGA Lite applies the same control philosophy and workflow logic used in full robotic studios to PTZ environments, while integrating with third-party cameras, supports, and automation systems. This gives broadcasters the freedom to design flexible studios today, without being tied to a single vendor, and a clear path to scale from PTZ control to full robotic systems on one consistent platform."

VEGA Lite also provides a defined upgrade path to the full VEGA Control System, enabling broadcasters to expand into higher-end robotic workflows, increased redundancy and additional axes of movement as production needs evolve.
VEGA Lite is shipping now.
