Multi-Camera Court Room Video Recording & Streaming System
PTZOptics cameras are often chosen for Government applications such as court room because the areas are large and they can benefits from the remote control and optical zoom features. In this case study, the City of Whitefish, Montana approved the installation for four PTZOptics 20X-SDI cameras to be used with a vMix video switching system. The cameras are installed in remote locations to the video production studio allowing a single camera operator to remotely control the pan, tilt and zoom of each camera. Each camera is setup with camera presets that are assigned to various areas of interest inside the courtroom.
Case Study Government City Hall Video Production
In many cases, the government agency may only have a single employee responsible for video production. The vMix system installed allows the camera operations and video switching to be done in a single software platform. This allows the government to save money by employing a single video production specialist and it allows the technology to be optimized with various camera presets and easy to use control methods. From the video producers point of view they have complete control over various cameras over an IP network which also provide PoE (Power Over Ethernet) to each camera. The video producer can simply click a button inside vMix with a thumbnail displaying the area they would like the camera to zoom into. It’s that easy!
