LAKE FOREST, Calif.—VidOvation has announced that it will now serve as the U.S. representative for CyanView’s camera control and shading products. The partnership will enable VidOvation to supply turnkey solutions for remote IP-based camera control and shading over unmanaged networks during live multicamera productions.

Integrating VidOvation’s bonded cellular wireless system with CyanView’s RCP multicamera control panel will allow for low-latency IP-based transmission of control signals from multiple camera types and brands to the control for live production, according to VidOvation.

CyanView’s RCP is designed to integrate specialty cameras into production. Offering camera control, video correction and video transport, the RCP system lets users remotely control all stages of the ecosystem from a unified interface.

“VidOvation has been instrumental in creating the REMI-style at-home live production model,” said CyanView founder and CEO David Bourgeois. “With its experience in developing and deploying innovative live production solutions, VidOvation can provide our shared customers with valuable advice and support in implementing more efficient, cost-effective, and robust solutions for live production. We look forward to working with the company to support broadcasters in bringing dynamic live sports, news, and entertainment programming to air.”

IRVINE, Calif.—VidOvation has announced a deal with CyanView to represent the camera control system supplier in the United States.

The agreement calls on VidOvation to supply turnkey solutions for remote IP-based camera control and shading over unmanaged networks like the internet and cell networks during live multicamera productions, such as sports, VidOvation said.

"CyanView solves the challenge of efficient, unified remote camera control and shading during live production, and we're pleased to represent the company's products in the U.S. market," said Jim Jachetta, executive vice president and chief technology officer of VidOvation.

"Modern productions rely on a variety of specialty cameras, including mini POV, PTZ, robotic, ENG, large-sensor cinema and more. Camera control and shading for these cameras is challenging over unmanaged IP networks, such as the public internet and cellular, but CyanView technology eliminates any challenges associated with latency and intermittent connectivity, making camera control possible over thousands of miles for REMI and at-home production."

Integrating VidOvation’s bonded cellular and wireless system with CyanView’s RCP multicamera control panel provides for reliable, low-latency IP-based transmission of control signals from multiple camera types and brands to live production control rooms. It simplifies remote operations and reduces costs, VidOvation said.

CyanView's RCP camera control supports tally, pan-tilt head and gimbal control as well as  motorized lenses. It offers video correction and video transport from a single system. Users can remotely control all stages of the ecosystem from a unified interface. Integration with bonded cellular and wireless technology enables IP-based signal transport, putting these control capabilities at the fingertips of engineers working remotely in production or master control.

LAS VEGAS—The 2018 NAB Show will serve as the introduction for Cynaview’s Cy-Stem universal mini-camera control system, which controls specialty cameras to enhance production workflow. Based exclusively on IP technology, Cy-Stem includes an RCP control panel and small hardware modules that address control, image quality and content transport of outside/live broadcasting, such as sports events, reality TV and game shows.

To demo Cy-Stem’s remote control capabilities, the system will be connected via RF to the Silvus Technologies MIMO mesh/MANET technology. The most recent drone applications will also be shown.

The Cyanview product line includes the Cy-RCP, a multi-camera remote control panel. It is supported by the Cy-CI0 for IP control of most cameras, lenses and accessories via a range of protocols. The range also includes: the Cy-GWY gateway, which features the open Ember+ control protocol, an interface to a VSM (Virtual Studio Manager) and video processors, such as the Lawo V__pro8 . Its WAN capability enables remote production.

Also on display will be the Cy-VP4 video processor, which supports four 3G HD (50/60) cameras or a single 4K (25/50/60) camera, as well as advanced chroma correction. It enables image processing of primary and secondary colors to any mini-camera within the production workflow.

The 2018 NAB Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 9-12. Cyanview will be in booth C8530. For more information, visit www.nabshow.com.
