Q1 multiple-choice · device-identity PhotoRobot Catwalk is best described as:
Source: SPVC01 §1 — What Catwalk is.
Explanation: Catwalk = turntable + treadmill belt combo. Cameras stay fixed; the belt + rotation move the model. NOT a robotic arm.
Q2 multiple-choice · footprint Catwalk’s total working footprint is approximately:
Source: SPVC01 §1 — Footprint.
Explanation: Platform itself is Ø 2.8 m, but full working area (platform + edge supports + camera positions + lighting + model walk-in space) needs 7 × 7 m. Below that = cramped captures.
Q3 multiple-choice · two-mode-workflow The two operating modes of Catwalk are:
Source: SPVC01 §3 — The two-mode workflow.
Explanation: Belt-on = runway feel with walking model. Belt-off = standard 360° spin (model standing, or product on platform with belt covered).
Q4 multiple-choice · flying-camera-effect The “flying camera” effect on Catwalk comes from:
Source: SPVC01 §1 — Combined motion.
Explanation: Cameras are stationary. Platform rotation carries the model through the camera’s frame, creating the illusion that the camera is flying around the walking model.
Q5 multiple-select · technical-specs Which of these are correct Catwalk technical parameters? (Select all that apply.)
Source: SPVC01 §4 — Technical parameters.
Explanation: 12 V DC is wrong — Catwalk runs on standard studio mains (AC 230 V). Other 4 are correct per published specs.
Q6 multiple-choice · when-belt-off A customer wants a 360° on-model spin of an evening gown with the model standing still. Best Catwalk mode:
Source: SPVC01 §3.2 — Belt-off mode.
Explanation: Belt-off = standard 360° spin with model standing on rotating platform. RotoPower mode. Plate cover is for product shots, not on-model.
Q7 multiple-choice · scenarios Catwalk’s “scenarios” feature in Controls:
Source: SPVC01 §3.4 — Scenarios.
Explanation: Scenarios = recipe of belt + rotation curves saved in Controls. Replayable. The productivity multiplier that makes Catwalk a “production line for fashion video.”
Q8 multiple-choice · installation-modes Two installation options for Catwalk are:
Source: SPVC01 §2.4 — Installation modes.
Explanation: Sunk = dedicated fashion studio, level floor. Free-standing = shared studio, mobile, can roll aside when not in use.
Q9 multiple-choice · anti-patterns Which customer brief is NOT a good fit for Catwalk?
Source: SPVC01 §5.2 — Anti-patterns.
Explanation: Catwalk’s platform is wide + designed for a standing human, not optimised for small-product packshots. Centerless Table or Cube fits jewelry better. A-C all fit Catwalk’s intended use.
Q10 true-false · catwalk-vs-robotic-arm Catwalk uses the PhotoRobot Robotic Arm product for its camera motion.
Source: SPVC01 §1 + §5.3 — Catwalk alongside other PhotoRobot devices.
Explanation: Robotic Arm is a separate PhotoRobot device for multi-row product spins. Catwalk has NO robotic arm — cameras stay fixed; the platform + belt move the subject.
Q11 multiple-choice · output-types Catwalk’s belt-on mode primarily produces:
Source: SPVC01 §3.1 — Belt-on outputs.
Explanation: Belt-on is video-first (catwalk feel runway clips) with stills extracted from the motion footage. Static stills + 3D models + strobe = different tools.
Q12 multiple-choice · switching-modes A single Catwalk session for one outfit often uses both modes. Typical pattern:
Source: SPVC01 §3.3 — Switching modes.
Explanation: Common per-outfit pattern: belt-on runway sequence → mode switch → belt-off 360° spin. Operator switches via Controls; model adjusts pose accordingly.
