Camera Assist
Any PTZ camera framing itself to the shot you picked, to broadcast standards, over a direct camera connection. It moves only off air, so the shot is right when you cut and never drifts on Program.
Cameras that frame themselves
Frame
The shot is ready before you cut.
Camera Assist moves pan, tilt and zoom only while a camera is off air. Nothing drifts on Program. By the time you cut, the frame already matches the shot you chose.
One overview: every camera, its target shot, and whether it is in Preview, moving or on Program.
Store
Your shots, named and stored.
An angle is a named position on one camera, with its own framing and thumbnail. Point the camera and store it, or bind the angle to a preset the camera already holds.
Framing follows broadcast standards, close-up to wide shot, so any PTZ camera frames like one with framing built in.
Recall
One angle, every rule it follows.
Everything an angle does sits on one screen: the preset it recalls, the framing standard it holds, how many faces belong in the shot, and the switcher command it fires on arrival.
AI framing corrects the camera once it arrives. A blocked frame never reaches Program. The audio triggers that call this angle are listed right there.
Direct
The right person, and the right shot.
Camera Assist frames the shot. Audio Triggers decides when to take it. Both run in one system, so Camera Assist knows which cameras are hot and which are free to move. It frames the free ones and leaves the hot ones alone.
When a mic is about to open, its camera is already framed. Each half has its own switch: framing without automatic switching, or the other way round.
How the mics decideAnd more.
Once your cameras are in: the model list, the cameras not in it, and the switch that turns the automation off.
Your camera, already understood
Pick your model. Lens, travel and control protocol fill themselves in.
Manual set-up for the rest
A camera not in the model list can be configured by hand.
