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 a virtual camera on the region where they want to
zoom on the video. They also define the zoom depth, and other parameters. Cue points
can be automatically associated to timecodes the zoom points are defined on. The zoom
timecode and parameters are stored in a virtual camera register.
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 replay the video sequence, and
easily control the Epsio Zoom from the LSM Remote Panel.
The zoom sequence can be played out in real time in HD.
