Introducing Studio.One
AZilPix Studio.One is a multi-camera video capture and production system enabling immersive broadcasting of complex events, at low operational cost.
Ultra high-res video capture
Multiple 12- or 48-megapixel cameras with wide angle or fish eye lenses per server capture an event completely from multiple angles.
Virtual camera concept
The Studio.One server computes multiple simultaneous rectified or panoramic virtual cameras from any input camera in real-time live or in post-production. Pan-tilt-roll-zoom each virtual camera as if it were 360 video.
Low operational cost
No need to follow the action all the time when capturing an event : everything gets captured anyways. As a result, as few as a single operator can capture complex events. Post-production is a single person job as well.
Intuitive and powerful
Studio.One operation is easy to learn, intuitive and stimulates creativity. Create a unique visual language by framing in post-production.
360 and panoramic Video
Stitchless 6K or 12K VR. 24/7 operation and live multi-cam on a single server with builtin audio and streaming to multiple internet destinations simultaneously. Studio.One allows simultaneous live VR & convential video production with a single system, crew and workflow.
Take Control
Studio.One is an open system with well documented APIs, made to integrate in your production environment. It can be controlled remotely if operator access to the event site is undesirable, e.g. medical surgery operations.
