Canon has introduced Camera Control Centre, a new free software application that brings setup, control and management together in a single platform for PTZ and multi-camera productions.
The software aims to help broadcasters standardise workflows, maintain consistent image quality and scale productions with ease, said the company.
The software supports the full production workflow, including:
- Camera discovery and initial setup
- Remote PTZ camera control
- Colour matching across Canon and non-Canon cameras
- Firmware updates and device management
- Centralised monitoring and operation
New features include the ability to compare up to four camera feeds simultaneously and quickly adjust settings such as white balance, shutter speed and iris from a single screen. Users can also save and recall settings across multiple cameras.
Camera Control Centre supports up to 200 compatible devices, enabling organisations to manage large camera deployments from a single application, said Canon. Batch management capabilities further simplify configuration, updates and maintenance across multiple cameras.
