Virtual camera, the ultimate angle on reality
posted by soliton at Wed, 28 Apr 2010 - 10:34:05

Virtual Camera from Belgium-based Imec turns the input from fixed
cameras into a 3D space where the Director or cameraman has the total
freedom to choose any angle or distance to the action. iVC gives the
Director a flying camera that he can easily steer anywhere he wants to
find the ultimate angle. iVC is also unique because it allows
real-time advanced image manipulation on still shots, slow motion and
even on live video feed. Moreover, iVC developers paid particular
attention to cost effectiveness and ease of use.

iVC can be easily integrated into any existing production pipeline.
The video input comes from standard HD-IP cameras, without
compromising the quality of the output. As HD-IP cameras cost only a
fraction of conventional outside broadcasting cameras, the production
cost is dramatically reduced. And, iVC is handled via a user-friendly
remote control panel comparable to that of a regular boom camera or
spider cam, enabling the Director or cameraman a straightforward
manipulation of the virtual camera.

Imec Virtual Camera brings many new and exciting possibilities in
sports, concerts or performance broadcasting. For example, with iVC,
you can experience a personalized rock concert, watching it from the
best seat in the stadium, or you could zoom in on the feet of the
ballet dancer when they are brought together for a landing. You could
follow the curve of the ball when a quarterback throws a 40 yard pass,
or sit on the striker=92s shoulder when he is getting ready to score his
legendary goal ...

Unlike other digital vision technologies, where the constraints of the
specific sport have to be taken into account during development, iVC
works instantly with any sports that takes place on a flat surface
(tennis, football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, ...).
Moreover, iVC=92s advanced image manipulation also features digital
signage, player tracking and instant off-side analysis.
