PTZ Auto Framing with AI analytics
PTZ Auto Framing offers powerful AI-powered video analytics that can automatically detect and track the position of a presenter within the camera frame. As the presenter moves, the camera’s pan/tilt/zoom mechanism ensures that the presenter is always framed naturally, without the need for a human camera operator to manually follow their movements.
This application tracks a moving target, and automatically moves a remote camera left/right/up/ down and zooms in/out to maintain optimum composition while shooting.
Added supported cameras
– The following cameras are supported.
– ILME-FR7

With Focus Area Cropping, an image from one camera can be simultaneously shown as two different output images. The user can choose to select a cropped image from the main still 4K image. What’s more, the cropped area is selectable to be static or dynamic to follow the speaker’s movement.
Other features include handwriting extraction where any words and diagrams written on a board or screen remain in full view to the audience – via AR (augmented reality). Even if the speaker is standing directly in front of the board, their ideas, thinking process and even their animated presentation is all accessible to the audience. For remote viewers and those playing back the presentation at a later date, the presenter is overlaid and the content is never compromised.
A Chromakey-less CG Overlay feature enables the presenter to deliver supporting content, in real-time without a dedicated studio or specialized content creators. Users can autonomously create specific animated imagery, still pictures and supporting graphics to provide an easy backdrop for their presentation.
Sony’s REA-C1000 Edge Analytics Appliance unit is compatible with Sony’s network cameras, and these can be connected to the software box to capture the live presentation. The Edge Analytics box transmits the video images captured by the camera straight to the display or recording device.
