This project is in early alpha and currently supports very little listed below.
The multicamera platform is a free, open-source software environment that sits atop video switchers in live productions to offer a massive range of automation or crew support tools. Camera tally, cut logging, remote control, preview emulation, cross-switcher automation, all synchronizable across a network of devices under any configuration you please! And best of all? You don't have to install a thing - battle-test the app right now for your needs straight from the website! Link coming soon
Key features:
- Tally - The app can be synchronized across many devices on a local network, and offers a "tally viewers" for displaying a full-screen color. Literally just have your camera ops pull out their phones, visit the website, and link up to your network.
- Remote control - Control the switcher from any device anywhere! As long as it's linked into the platform's network, everything can be done from there all be there.
- Cut Logging - Record your cuts and export them into a video editor for easy post-production tweaking of your line cut. Native support for Premiere/DaVinci Resolve and the option to export to a standard format like CSV, for your own processing, is always available!
- Supports non-switchers - Want to do multi-camera switching something in OBS? Because the platform provides one seamless abstraction layer on-top of your real switching hardware, you can do just that!
- Emulates preview/cut buses - If your switcher doesn't natively support a preview bus, or you want to interact with a switcher through the "cut bus"/alternative methods, the program provides an emulation layer for all of it, so you always have one consistent interfacing layer on top of your switcher.
Developer documentation is coming soon. Check out the ABCo Discord server to discuss things in the meantime: https://discord.gg/cTpPhqZ
