CyanView to Introduce RIO Live at IBC 2022

CyanView to Introduce RIO Live at IBC 2022: RIO Live is a camera-mounted addition which facilitates shading and tally across a diverse range D-Cinema cameras, camcorders and mirrorless cameras in multi-camera live productions such as concerts, theater plays or fashion shows.   The RIO Live unit can be coordinated with an extensive range of cameras in order to facilitate remote control. The diverse range of cameras supported and the flexible connection options available provide producers and creatives both in Broadcast and ProAV markets with the ability to deploy complex camera setups; this is fundamental when using large sensor D-Cinema cameras with PL zoom lenses and 3D LUTs, and ensures that a specific, consistent look – usually achieved in post-production – can be secured across the cameras, even in live productions and whilst streaming.   The RIO Live unit further allows for the control of zoom lenses and lens motors, including B4 box lenses, PL zoom lenses, Canon Cine Servos and Fujinon Cabrios, along with C-Motion on large zoom lenses, and Chrosziel and Tilta motors on prime lenses. It also facilitates full gimbal control, which enables producers to create a PTZ setup using cameras and accessories of their choice, including robotic and cable cams, dollies and jibs.   Finally, the unit also allows for control of the internal tally of a camera  or an auxiliary tally connected to the RIO Live itself, with camera selection and tally ingest undertaken through protocols such as TSL and GPIO, or direct integrations with Atem, Tricaster or Vmix.   As well as providing physical control over all cameras, including simultaneous start for recordings, the RIO Live facilitates full shading functionality across a multi-camera setup. This includes remote video shading control for cameras where such functionality might be missing or locked, or when using 3D LUT-based processors such as the Flanders Box-IO, AJA ColorBox or the CyanView VP4 to add and coordinate functionalities as required. Crucially, all of this can be coordinated flexibly by CyanView remote control, either devoting individual (or multiple) controllers to each camera, creating sub-groups, or through a single master controller. This ability to control multi-brand camera integrations through a single RCP (or indeed any RCP combination desired) grants immense creative potential to broadcast professionals, whilst still ensuring consistency and order across the setup. Few other products allow for such a diverse range of cameras and standards to be controlled through a single RCP. Setups combining CyanView RCPs and RIO Live units have seen as many as 100 cameras (of numerous different brands) all connected through one remote  as used for reality TV shows.
