Usage example of Handwriting Extraction in the classroom

User benefits

Using the Handwriting Extraction application (REA-L0100) makes it possible to extract

text and drawings from the white board or blackboard for real-time output as video.
Extracted text and drawings are displayed on top of the footage of the lecturer,
making it possible for the class to always view both the lecturer and what is written on
the board. Students can catch every detail of the lecturer’s face, gestures, and
explanations, simultaneously viewing both the lecturer as they speak and the content
on the board, which is usually hidden as it is being written. This leads to greater
understanding of and satisfaction with lectures. The system improves real-time video
viewing quality in large classrooms and remote classes, and makes it possible to easily
create appealing lecture content.

Features
ˎˎExtract text and images from a white board or blackboard so that they are visible in front of the lecturer.
Live Viewing
ˎˎAdjustable transparency of the image of the teacher standing in front of the white board or blackboard.
ˎˎThe contents written on the board can be saved in JPEG format using the one-shot log function.
ˎˎStreaming distribution is supported, in addition to HDMI output.
ˎˎCan be used together with the PTZ Auto Tracking (REA-L0200) function by connecting two cameras.*
ˎˎSupports extraction from a wide horizontal board or a raised board, and zoom display of the image
around the teacher.*

Usage example of PTZ Auto Tracking in the lecture hall

User benefits

Using the PTZ Auto Tracking application (REA-L0200) enables AI detection of multiple
elements in footage, such as the faces, movement, shapes, and colors of subjects
within the angle of view for smoother camera control. Having the camera pan to track
the movement of subjects in the angle of view makes it possible to control and
maintain the optimal angle of view. This application makes it possible to easily capture
natural, enhanced footage that appears as if an operator is controlling a PTZ camera.
This model is equipped with an optical zoom, which is optimal for relatively large
spaces such as auditoriums, lecture halls and event spaces.

Features
ˎˎUses AI to recognize and track the target in real time based on complex elements such as the person’s
face, movement, shape, and color.
ˎˎCan be used with the tally lamp of Sony remote cameras. Turning on the tally lamp during tracking
Live Viewing and turning off the tally lamp when tracking is lost allows you to see whether the person is being
automatically tracked.*
ˎˎThe base angle can be set to “Upper Body” or “Fully Body”. You can also adjust the angle as desired using
the fine adjustment function.*
ˎˎStreaming distribution is supported, in addition to HDMI output.

Usage example of Close-up by Gesture in the classroom

User benefits

When using the Close-up by gesture application (REA-L0300) to capture footage in the
classroom, students that stand up to speak from a group of about 20 to 30 people are
automatically recognized and the PTZ camera electronically zooms in on the speaker.
When the student sits down, the camera automatically switches from zoomed in to a
4K bird’s eye angle of view as if a camera operator is controlling the camera. When
used with another application, it is possible to capture footage in the front and rear of
the classroom suitable for faculty development. The REA-C1000 also supports IP
output for recording the footage of multiple classrooms to recorders on a network.

Usage example of Chroma key-less CG Overlay in a small-scale studio

User benefits

Using the Chroma key-less CG Overlay application (REA-L0400) makes it possible to

easily create composite images without a green screen studio or special staff. An office
conference room or simple studio can be used to place the person being recorded
into another image in real-time, making it easy to produce appealing image content.
The Chroma key-less CG Overlay application is a powerful tool for producing business
presentation videos, video content for streaming on the web, and e-learning content.

Features
ˎˎStreaming distribution is supported, in addition to HDMI output.
ˎˎUp to four layers of content can be produced in real-time.
ˎˎStill images, videos, and presentation materials can be entered as composite material.
ˎˎThe size of the image that is input from the camera can be changed at will. For example, you can enlarge
or reduce the image of a person to the desired size and arrange it so that it fits the background image.*

Usage example of Focus Area Cropping at an event space

User benefits

Using the Focus Area Cropping application (REA-L0500) makes it possible to output
footage in real time from different angles with a single camera, almost as if you are
using a multi-camera setup. This application enables shooting with fewer cameras
than usually required at a single shooting location, making it possible to allocate
equipment and staff for more shooting opportunities. The Focus Area Cropping
function provides electronic panning, tilting and zooming that tracks subject
movement in the angle of view from a 4K bird’s-eye view for continuous subject
tracking that is almost as if a camera operator is controlling the camera. The Fixed Area
Cropping function gives complete freedom of control over the shooting area by
dragging the mouse to switch from a bird’s-eye view to digital zoom. The shooting
resolution is variable and can easily be changed, however, because the video is
converted to Full HD (1920x1080) during output, no compatibility is lost with later
stage systems.
