Great addition

I always preferred a wired connection when possible and I like using the web interface to control my rig of 3 items. Wish the interface had sequence like the app does. Maybe that will come soon.

Combine the powers of edelkrone & Dragonframe

Hand-controllable

Hand-control your entire edelkrone motion control system, including the slide, pan, tilt and focus for a hassle-free production. Camera motions (keyframes) can be positioned using your hands without the need for a remote control or mouse. This hand-control capability creates unprecedented efficiency in your workflow and makes the whole process that much more intuitive.

Turn knob to focus

Easily control Focus Module & Lens Controller using the knob located on Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco to adjust the focus of your camera and capture the perfect shot for every frame of your stop motion.

While the Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco is optimized for the new generation HeadPLUS and Lens Controller, it can also be used with the previous generation HeadPLUS v1 and Focus Module.

Precise & repeatable motions

Both HeadPLUS and Motor Module, and their predecessors, have super-accurate, backlash-free gear design which creates perfectly repeatable and smooth motion, even with the most demanding shots. The system can be moved back to the same position each time, making it especially useful when you need to retake previous frames of your animation.

Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco only supports the shoot-move-shoot motion when used with Dragonframe.

edelkrone Web App

edelkrone motion control systems can now be controlled on a personal computer with the edelkrone Web App, created based on the game-changing mobile App that you know and love, the edelkrone App. With Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco, you can control your entire edelkrone ecosystem through a computer running on Microsoft Windows 10, macOS, and Linux using modern web browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari).

Standout Features of the edelkrone Web App

Mobile edelkrone App essentials on your personal computer

Access all the innovative and essential features of edelkrone App (iOS/Android) on your desktop or laptop computer with the Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco. You can control pan & tilt, slide, jib, dolly and focus motions, create keyposes, and also adjust the speed and acceleration via edelkrone Web App.

When using Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco, you can connect and control your edelkrone motion control systems with both edelkrone Web App and edelkrone App at the same time.

edelkrone Web App will be installed on your computer by default when you install the edelkrone Software Development Kit (SDK).

Simultaneous control of multiple setups on a single computer

Each Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco can be connected to a single edelkrone motion control unit or bundled setup, and multiple edelkrone motion control setups can be managed simultaneously when using more than one Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco.

When multiple Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Mocos are connected to the same computer, you can run a dedicated edelkrone Web App for each Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco side by side on a single screen. This allows you to operate several edelkrone motion control setups from a single control center and run an entire production by yourself effortlessly.

Intuitive pairing with the edelkrone ecosystem

Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco is compatible with edelkrone motion control systems released after November 18, 2018 and can connect to them wirelessly. Additionally, the edelkrone motion control systems released after July 2020, such as the Motor Module and HeadPLUS, have the option of a wired connection with Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco using cables.

In trying conditions, where there is environmental interference with wireless connection, compatible edelkrone motion control systems can have a wired connection with cables to ensure optimum and stable connection with the help of the new Wired Signal Hub for edelkrone Moco. Wired Signal Hub for edelkrone Moco is sold separately to connect the devices with one another.

By design, the ingenious edelkrone Web App runs on your computer without requiring an internet connection, so you can also work offline when needed.

edelkrone Software Development Kit

(Beta Version)

Integrate your innovation with our edelkrone motion control ecosystem and bring new perspectives to your production with the edelkrone Software Development Kit (SDK). Utilizing third-party software, developers can now add more features and gain even greater control of their edelkrone motion control setups. Create your own applications to customize your edelkrone setups and level up your production!

Start to explore

edelkrone SDK application runs in the background of your computer and translates API commands to the underlying hardware and vice versa. If your programming language or software environment can send and receive HTTP based API commands, you can interface with your edelkrone motion control system(s) through edelkrone SDK using the Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco.

API commands give you full control on pairing a single or multiple edelkrone motion control systems into a bundle via wireless or wired interfaces. After creating a bundle, you can control the motion of the systems and receive periodic readouts from them via API commands.

High-level motion control

edelkrone SDK is currently in the beta stage and only supports high-level motion control commands that allow you to move the axes via joystick commands or keypose commands. With keypose commands, you can store multiple axis values in a single setpoint group called keyposes and recall them with specific speed and acceleration. Motion planning and control are handled inside the motion control system firmware. You can check the progress and instant axis values via periodic readout API commands.

edelkrone SDK is the backbone of edelkrone Web App

We developed the edelkrone Web App not only as a final product that our end-users can use to simply control their edelkrone motion control systems on a personal computer, but also to showcase the limitless capabilities of edelkrone SDK. Each API call to edelkrone SDK that we use in edelkrone Web App is openly documented. The source code of the edelkrone Web App itself is released as open source under MIT license. You may refer to the source code when developing your own web or other platform based software.

In addition to edelkrone Web App, we supply Python based example scripts for you to explore. More examples of other platforms are coming soon. When you install the edelkrone SDK, you will receive the necessary documentation, the source code of edelkrone Web App as well as these example scripts.

More features coming soon

If you want even finer level motion control support, wait for our v1.0 release which is coming soon. With the upcoming motion command set called the real-time motion interface, you will be able to send setpoints for each axis down to ~16ms periods with supported products when using the wired interface. With this upcoming real-time motion interface, you can playback any arbitrary motion curve in real life up to 60FPS.

This motion control interface will be crucial for various artificial/virtual/mixed reality, VFX and robotics applications.

Wired Signal Hub for edelkrone Moco

Wired Signal Hub for edelkrone Moco offers even greater possibilities for a more streamlined production, especially in environments with unstable wireless connection due to signal interference. With Wired Signal Hub for edelkrone Moco, you can connect more than one compatible edelkrone motion control system to the Mac/PC Adapter for edelkrone Moco with the cables included. The low latency, deterministic connection removes any unwanted environmental wireless interference for an overall improved experience.
