Shotoku Broadcast Systems, a privately owned company headquartered in Japan, was founded in 1944, employs approximately 400 individuals, and reported $55.6M in revenue as of 2024. The company specializes in content acquisition, providing Camera Support Systems including Robotic Cameras, VR Camera Tracking, Manual Pedestals, Heads, and Tripods specifically for broadcast applications.
Shotoku showcased its expanding Aura PTZ ecosystem and Swoop Robotic Crane at IBC 2026 on August 20. The company applies its robotic camera expertise through the Aura platform, which combines control, intelligent engineering, and workflow innovation to provide broadcast-quality precision automation and seamless integration for professional PTZ productions across sports, legislative, and corporate environments. Earlier on August 12, Shotoku discussed the increasing integration of PTZ technology into modern studios, acknowledging the blurred lines between broadcast and pro AV, and the significant impact PTZ cameras are having across various genres. Previously, on April 15, Shotoku USA introduced the Aura P2 PTZ Prompter Panner (P2) at NAB 2026, an addition to its Aura suite of advanced PTZ-centric solutions. This new system removes pan restrictions for teleprompter-based productions, addressing a traditional limitation where pan movement is restrained to prevent the prompter hood from entering the frame, thereby restricting creative flexibility. The P2 was showcased alongside the TR-XPTZ control system.
