"It's going to be terrific to see our BlackTrax system reach this milestone," says Gil Densham from CAST. "It is a product built out of passion from a lot of dedicated people and it has proven to be an essential resource for companies wanting to track people and objects allowing them to be more creative with their shows. The number of projects that BlackTrax has helped, is testament to not just the BlackTrax team who built it, but to the international companies who it has helped along the way."

BlackTrax's Intelligent tracking, adjusts to fit different situations, by using the onboard smoothing and prediction learning algorithms, ensuring flawless performance for all users. Recently, BlackTrax set its own world record in the biggest distance ever tracked. Jurlights from the Netherlands used BlackTrax to track six 40-ft shipping containers fitted with LED screens, over a distance of 80,000 square feet or a 200 by 400ft volume area outdoors, for the opening of Maasvlakte II at APM Terminals in Rotterdam.

"For many people, BlackTrax has been a life-changing moment, as it has helped lead projects and jobs, vastly improving their production values. Overall, our customers haven't had to change their production scope, or compromise their creativity in making BlackTrax work for them. In fact it has enhanced their creativity, their freedom and allowed for complete spontaneity, while solving other production problems and also reduced their production costs," adds Densham.
