CyanView will bring its RIO Live remote control, a camera add-on that makes shading easier, to IBC

On the occasion of IBC 2022, CyanView will showcase its new RIO Live solution, a camera-mounted add-on that facilitates shading and tally across a diverse range of D-Cinema cameras, camcorders and mirrorless cameras in multi-camera live productions.

The RIO Live unit, which was first shown at NAB 2022, can be coordinated with a wide range of cameras for easy remote control. The wide range of cameras supported and flexible connection options available provide producers and creatives in both the broadcast and proAV markets with the ability to deploy complex camera setups.

This is essential when using large sensor D-Cinema cameras with PL zoom lenses and 3D LUTs, and ensures that a specific and consistent look (typically achieved in post-production) can be ensured across all cameras, even in live productions and during streaming.

The RIO Live unit also allows you to control zoom lenses and lens motors, including B4 box lenses, PL zoom lenses, Cinema Servos of Canon and the Convertibles of Fujinon, with him C-Motion on large zoom lenses, and the motors Chrosziel y Bridge on main objectives. It also facilitates full control of the gimbal, allowing producers to create a PTZ setup using the cameras and accessories of their choice, including robotic and cable cameras, dollies and jibs.

Finally, the unit also allows control of the internal tally of a camera or an auxiliary tally connected to the RIO Live itself, with camera selection and tally ingestion performed through protocols such as TSL and GPIO, or direct integrations with Atem, Tricaster or Vmix.

In addition to providing physical control over all cameras, including simultaneous initiation of recordings, RIO Live facilitates full shading functionality in a multi-camera setup. This includes remote control of video shadowing for cameras where such functionality may be missing or blocked, or when using 3D LUT based processors as Flanders Box-IO, AJA ColorBox o CyanView VP4 to add and coordinate functionality as needed.

The most important thing is that all this can be coordinated flexibly using CyanView remote control, either by dedicating individual (or multiple) controllers to each camera, creating subgroups, or through a single master controller.

This ability to control multi-brand camera integrations through a single RCP (or, indeed, any combination of RCPs desired) gives broadcast professionals immense creative potential, while ensuring consistency and order in all the configuration.

Few other products allow you to control such a diverse range of cameras and standards through a single RCP. Assemblies combining CyanView RCPs and Live RIO units have seen up to a hundred cameras from various brands connected through a single remote control, like those used in reality television shows.

In fact, CyanView's full RCP capabilities will also be on display at its IBC booth, demonstrating how RCP seamlessly integrates camera control with the linear color corrections available in RGB and ProcAmp correctors in post-production. Its interface, which resembles that of a standard broadcast camera, allows for efficient multi-camera alignment in live productions.

CyanView will also highlight your compatibility with the new AJA ColorBox, a flexible hardware processing solution with nodes that ensure precise mappings and unprecedented color fidelity for live and post-production HDR/SDR workflows.

ColorBox is especially useful when deploying multiple camera types and brands, as camera alignment in this context requires more precise adjustments, similar to the ACES workflow. With the ColorBox, the process becomes as easy and intuitive as if the operator were making the adjustments on the camera itself.

The Founder and CEO of CyanView, David Bourgeois, highlights that “RIO Live offers a lot of creative potential to broadcast professionals, giving them absolute flexibility in their production setup, and allowing them to select cameras based on the advantages their attributes will bring, without having to worry about how they will be coordinated. and they will control. By applying shading tools even when such functionality is not present on the camera itself, and with an incredibly easy and straightforward workflow and control system, the RIO Live is ideal for remote, distributed, live and multi-camera productions. cinematographic”.
