Product Overview
Description
Epsio Zoom for 4K zooming allows operators to scale any 16:9 region within a 4K frame to
HD, in real time.
An operator identifies the 4K content, either via a touchscreen or a mouse, and then
selects the specific part of the high-resolution image for zooming. The resulting zoom
sequence can be used for the HD live diffusion as a regular instant replay.
Functional Worfklow
In Epsio Zoom, the operators define up to ten zoom positions and the zoom depth on the
region(s) where they want to zoom on the video (record train or clip). They store the zoom
positions into virtual camera registers. The operators can also mark cue points in
Multicam corresponding to the zoom positions.
On the LSM Remote Panel, the operators take control over the Epsio Zoom by activating
the Epsio Zoom mode. In this mode, the operators can play back the video sequence with
the first three zoom effects, by calling back the corresponding virtual cameras when they
reach the requested position or the defined cue point.
The zoom sequence can be played out in real time in HD.
