Upgrading a Follow-Me 3D System

Knowledge base article

With Follow-Me, our systems are always expandable / scalable, with an upgrade path to move from Follow-Me 3D TWO to Follow-Me 3D SIX to Follow-Me Track-iT. We don’t lock you in to a specific hardware with no capability to grow.

Within Follow-Me 3D you have the capability to expand the system in many ways for various reasons.

  • Follow-Me 3D TWO or Follow-Me 3D SIX basic package with adding extra consoles.
  • Follow-Me 3D TWO to Follow-Me 3D SIX Upgrade – to add more targets, fixtures & functionality. 
  • Add Follow-Me Track-iT to Follow-Me 3D SIX to allow for automated performer tracking.
  • Additionally, you can add extra systems or extra cameras to cover a larger performance area or to build in additional redundancy.

Follow-Me 3D TWO or Follow-Me 3D SIX basic package with extra consoles

A basic kit for Follow-Me 3D TWO or Follow-Me 3D SIX comes with one console set (One Mouse and One Fader console). Of course you can add more to maximise the potential of either license/system – these can be purchased and added at any time. 

So up to two or six sets in total for the respective license. It is simply a matter of plugging the new/extra set into the existing ethernet switch & patching the new console(s) in the controller tab of the software. Connecting that to a new/addition target within the software & adding the preferred mappings means you are up and running very quickly with your additional hardware.

Follow-Me 3D TWO to Follow-Me SIX Upgrade

This upgrade is to add more targets, fixtures & functionality. Follow-Me 3D TWO is for 2 targets, it is limited to 12 fixtures (global limit) and doesn’t have PosiStageNet (PSN) or Open Sound Control (OSC) capability.

The upgrade takes this to 6 targets, unlimited fixtures and full PSN & OSC capability.

It is predominantly a license upgrade, the only hardware change being the number of Mouse & Fader consoles you’d like to add to the new upgraded system (up to 6). The addition of unlimited fixtures and PSN/OSC brings a new level of creativity to your shows. Both the new license and extra mouse/fader hardware take merely minutes to easily install.

Scale up Follow-Me 3D SIX by adding Follow-Me Track-iT

Follow-Me 3D SIX is a manual performer tracking system that allows operators to follow up to six performers simultaneously. It provides precise, flexible control over moving lights, making it a reliable solution for live productions.

For those looking to reduce manual operation and introduce automation, Follow-Me Track-iT can be added to Follow-Me 3D SIX. Track-iT enables automated performer tracking using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, allowing lights to follow performers automatically based on small wearable tags.

What Follow-Me Track-iT Adds

  • Automated Tracking: Instead of manually controlling lights, Track-iT tracks performers in real time based on their exact position on stage. This automation reduces operator workload and increases consistency.
  • Hybrid Control: Track-iT doesn’t replace manual operation—it enhances it. Operators can switch between manual and automated tracking or use both at the same time, giving them full control when needed.
  • Accurate Positioning: Using UWB tracking, Track-iT provides highly accurate 3D positioning. This data can also be shared with lighting, video, and audio systems to synchronize effects with performer movements.
  • Scalability: Adding Track-iT makes Follow-Me 3D SIX even more suitable for larger productions. It allows tracking of more performers with less manual effort, making it ideal for complex stage setups.
