Description:
The Firm has developed a unique AI technology that uses one camera to view a live musical performance and without moving the camera and needing any videographer create a dynamic version of the image with pans, cuts and zooms. This greatly improves the quality of the live streaming or recording of a live music performance. However, this limits the technology to just having one view of the whole band and no view of the players from different angles. Having a multi camera system consisting of 2-3 cameras greatly enhances the viewing when AI is used to choose which camera view to select dynamically during the performance. The cameras can be installed near certain players or from side angles. The AI system needs to determine what camera view to use.
