Shotoku Broadcast Systems, a privately owned company headquartered in Japan, was founded in 1944 and employs approximately 400 individuals. The company reported $55.6M in revenue as of 2024. Functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer, it specializes in content acquisition, providing Camera Support Systems including Robotic Cameras, VR Camera Tracking, Manual Pedestals, Heads, and Tripods for broadcast applications.
On April 15, 2026, Shotoku USA introduced the Aura P2 PTZ Prompter Panner at NAB 2026, a new system designed to remove PTZ pan restrictions for teleprompter-based productions. The P2 addresses traditional setups where pan movement was limited to prevent the prompter hood from entering the frame, thus restricting creative flexibility. Shotoku showcased the P2 as part of its Aura suite of PTZ-centric solutions, alongside the TR-XPTZ control system. Earlier, on April 3, 2026, the company previewed the Aura range and TR-XPTZ Control System, noting that while PTZ image quality and performance had improved, sophisticated and scalable control systems were often lacking for their integration into broadcast environments. This followed Shotoku USA's announcement on March 25, 2026, of the world premiere of Aura at NAB 2026, a suite of advanced pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) solutions that applies the company's robotic camera control expertise to the PTZ production space.
