AirPixel Wide Area Camera Tracking.

GPS Based. Outdoor AR. Set up in Minutes.

AirPixel is a wide-area camera tracking system for live, outdoor augmented reality. Built for stadiums, racetracks, golf courses, and large outdoor venues, where optical and marker-based systems reach their limit. RTK GPS with onboard IMU delivers ±2 cm X/Y and ±5 cm Z position accuracy at up to 100 Hz, tracking cameras moving at up to 270 km/h.

±2 cm X/Y and ±5 cm Z accuracy at up to
270 km/h

100 Hz update rate, 20 ms latency

Works with all leading industry render engines

WHY OUTDOOR AR TRACKING HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE, UNTIL NOW

Optical and marker-based tracking systems weren't built for open, uncontrolled environments

Camera tracking for AR graphics has historically depended on fixed markers, line-of-sight beacons, or controlled studio lighting. That works within the four walls of a studio or a fixed rig. It breaks down at the scale and unpredictability of a real outdoor venue: direct sunlight, rain, terrain, and a camera that might be on a Steadicam, a cable-cam, drone, or a helicopter.

The constraint isn't tracking the camera. It's coverage.

Any system that depends on fixed markers, line-of-sight beacons, or controlled lighting reaches its limit at the edge of a stadium, well before it reaches the edge of a golf course or a street circuit.

What broadcast teams tell us about tracking outdoors

✕Optical tracking loses lock in direct sunlight, rain, or low light

✕Marker-based rigs require fixed infrastructure across the whole coverage area

✕Line-of-sight systems break down behind stands, trees, or terrain

✕Existing systems don't scale past a fixed venue size without added infrastructure

✕Camera speed and rig type limit which tracking systems are even an option

HOW AIRPIXEL TRACKS A MOVING CAMERA

Three Components.

Each part of the system handles a different requirement of outdoor tracking: positioning, correction, and delivery to the render engine.

1. RTK GPS and IMU positioning

Onboard IMU data is combined with RTK GPS through advanced filtering to output X, Y, Z position and pan, tilt, roll orientation at up to 100 Hz, with 20 ms latency and significantly reduced drift.

2. Correction from a base station or NTRIP

Camera position is corrected using data from a fixed base station or an NTRIP service via modem. Both are configurable within minutes, enabling fast deployment in the field.

3. Integration with your render engine

Position, orientation, FIZ, and genlock are output via AirPixel protocol or FreeD to all leading render engines.

AT IBC 2026

What to expect from a stand meeting

A short conversation on stand 8.A39 is enough to work out whether, and how, AirPixel fits your production.

Your venue and camera setup

Venue type and scale, and which rigs you're tracking from: Steadicam, jib, cable-cam, mobile platform, drone, or helicopter.

Your render pipeline

Which engine or platform you're integrating with, and whether FIZ and genlock are already part of your workflow.
