CyanView demonstrates its universal camera control platform at NAB 2026, showcasing a system designed to integrate a wide variety of cameras into a unified broadcast or production workflow. The core of the system is the RCP (Remote Control Panel), which connects over IP to control any camera on the network. This approach allows operators to manage diverse camera types, from high-end cinema cameras to PTZs and even smartphones, from a single interface, ensuring consistent look and feel across all sources.

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The platform’s flexibility is highlighted through several integrations. For cinema cameras like the RED Raptor, Blackmagic URSA, and ARRI systems, control is established via IP, often using a simple USB to Ethernet adapter. The system also manages cine-style lens control, interfacing with motor systems from ARRI and Tilta (Nucleus) through IP-connected controllers like the C motion C-gate. This allows for remote adjustment of iris, focus, and zoom. The RCP also supports direct USB connectivity for accessories like Blackmagic focus and zoom handles.
Beyond traditional cameras, CyanView has developed a smartphone application that turns an iPhone or Samsung device into a controllable production camera. The app streams video and allows for full remote camera control from the RCP over Wi-Fi, 4G, or 5G. This enables color adjustments, including gain and multi-matrix, directly on the phone, integrating it seamlessly with other cameras in the production. The system also supports mirrorless cameras like the Sony FX3 on a gimbal, using CyanView’s RIO product for USB-based control and adding a tally light for broadcast environments.
For PTZ and specialized camera workflows, the system controls models from Canon, Sony, and Bolin over IP. It also integrates with high-frame-rate cameras like the IOI 8K system, which can shoot up to 2000 fps, using a CIO device for serial control conversion. To manage complex multi-camera setups, CyanView offers a software dashboard that provides a status overview of all connected cameras, allowing for grouped or individual adjustments from a user interface as an alternative to the physical RCP.
The system is built to be adaptable, with the company emphasizing its focus on listening to operator feedback to drive software and product development. This approach has led to its adoption in high-profile live events, including major sports broadcasts like the Super Bowl, large music festivals, and motorsports such as Le Mans, where numerous onboard cameras require synchronized wireless control.
