When filming a large-scale event, a large number of different types of cameras are deployed, including 'dedicated video cameras with large lenses,' 'waterproof action cameras,' and 'drones that film from the sky.' Each of these cameras has different color reproduction settings, and in the initial state, even if the same subject is photographed, it will be recorded in different colors. For this reason, it is important to match the colors of each camera when filming with a large number of cameras.
' RCP ', developed by Belgium-based company Cyanview , is a device that is attracting attention as a device for controlling a large number of cameras at once.
The RCP can manage a wide variety of cameras, regardless of manufacturer, and can execute shooting settings such as white balance, saturation, and noise reduction level all at once from a single controller.
RCP can control cameras via IP network. Even if the camera system includes cameras with different connection standards, it is possible to operate them all at once by converting the communication content to IP. In addition, by using IP, remote control from ultra-long distances, such as across continents, is also possible.
Most of the logic of RCP is written in Elixir and C. At the end of the Elixir official blog, it says, 'Elixir has contributed to the development of a highly reliable product. Cyanview is a good example of how Elixir can have a huge impact on a small team.'
