Achieved high-quality and low-cost shooting for music live events
It has become common to enjoy music live entertainment, but many music live events are not visualized due to the high cost of shooting and streaming.
To achieve high-quality and low-cost shootings of music live events, we developed a technology which detects accurate coordinates of subjects, and an automatic camera control system with a touch panel UI. By making all cameras unmanned and providing a high-level of automatic control, we achieved a distinguishably high level of quality.

<Future direction>
To achieve low-cost and high-quality live shooting, we will continue to work on updating our system by incorporating the latest technology into human position detection technology, camera equipment and UI.
In addition, through the use of AI and system design linked with video switcher, we will work on automatic determination of camera angles and strengthen centralized management of shooting.
Moreover, we are hoping to discuss flexible system and composition of equipment according to size of venues so that our system can be utilized by small and medium venues.
