Cineroid used IBC 2025 to show DeepEye HOVERNET, a modular, software-driven cable-cam that records precise motion and lens data, automates repeatable shots, and can be run by a minimal crew. The company also previewed the companion HALO robot as part of the broader DeepEye Studio system. HOVERNET is positioned as a turnkey element inside Cineroid’s DeepEye Studio platform (which we first reported about a year ago), which also comprises the HALO robot, a SPIN X turntable, and a track subsystem. The pitch is simple: capture consistent, complex moves with far fewer people, then reuse those moves later by loading saved “scenarios.” What HOVERNET is and what problem it solves HOVERNET is a flying cable-cam with centralized software control over the move, the gimbal, and camera parameters. In the demo, Cineroid emphasized that traditional shoots with dozens of crew can be reduced to a very small team, while move creation, recording, and delivery are consolidated into one workflow that produces a finished, color-graded result in roughly ten minutes per product setup. Saved scenarios can be recalled and tweaked for future sessions, which is particularly valuable for high-volume pack-shot and e-commerce pipelines.

The company frames FC50 as a controllable studio tool and FC400 as a premium, safety-focused deployment for sports or broadcast environments. System architecture and...
