LIVE·MAPS

MAPS — the software that runs the production.

MAPS sets the cameras up, runs them through the production and cuts along the way. Built for a studio workflow that holds together end to end.

Let's talk To the robotics →

Rundowns & AI mode

Rundowns made simple — with an AI mode for situations that change.

Every shot sits as a tile in one grid: set, recalled, combined into a move — and ordered into the rundown you go to air with. The AI mode picks up what cannot be scripted in advance.

  • Every shot is set, recalled and combined in one place
  • Carries large show databases without slowing down
  • Cameras are added and maintained in the same place
  • Ready to connect to Mosart and other automation systems

Tracking

Tracking that holds — with one camera or many.

A target is followed with a single camera already. Add more, and it stays the same target across every angle.

  • Follows a target from a single camera
  • Additional cameras make tracking robust against false detections
  • The same target stays the same target across every angle

Motion

Every move is a curve you shape.

A move is not guessed at — it is edited on the curve, and you see speed, ease-in and ease-out while you change them.

  • Keypoints wherever the shot needs them
  • Speed and easing are edited on the curve, not guessed
  • The hardware is the only limit

Picture

Colour control where the production happens.

Several cameras are matched to each other without leaving the system — with the controls and scopes you already know.

  • Match multiple cameras to each other automatically
  • Full RCP operation without leaving the system
  • Restless PTZ moves are smoothed out

Setup

A setup you can read at a glance.

Devices and signals sit in front of you as a graph. What is connected is visible instead of documented elsewhere.

  • Devices and signals are wired as a graph, not buried in a settings tree
  • What is connected is visible instead of documented elsewhere
  • A new camera chain is attached, not reconfigured
