Pixotope Technologies acquires TrackMen
- Details
Over the next several months, TrackMen solutions will be rebranded to become Pixotope Tracking whilst the whole TrackMen team will be integrated into the global Pixotope organisation, with Thorsten Mika and Hendrik Fehlis leading the team in Cologne where the acquired company is based.
“We are incredibly proud to announce the integration of TrackMen solutions into the Pixotope product portfolio,” says Marcus Brodersen, Pixotope CEO. “Camera tracking is reported as one of the major barriers to the adoption of virtual production. The native integration of TrackMen's powerful tracking into Pixotope's end-to-end VP solution will make Virtual Production accessible to more users by leveraging the technical expertise of TrackMen alongside the usability for which Pixotope is known to create a true turnkey solution for virtual production. By integrating camera tracking into our graphic tools, we are taking a quantum leap forward in making Virtual Production more accessible to media creators.”
“At TrackMen our passion has always been innovating and engineering the best possible tracking solutions,” comments Thorsten Mika, managing partner of TrackMen. “In joining the Pixotope team, we’re able to devote our collective resources and areas of expertise to the continued evolution of Virtual Production tools with educational programs and services that enable media professionals to successfully embrace the enormous creative opportunities this technology has to offer.”
