PTZ ComposerSee it in your room.
A flight is an authored camera move, with a planned route, framing and pace from departure through landing. Choose the room you run, and read what the camerawork does there.
PTZ Composer runs on a Mac or Windows computer beside your production and drives the PTZ cameras already on your walls. Your team composes each camera move once, at a desk, on a picture of the actual room. On the day, those moves run on a cue, or somebody rides their timing by hand.
It is run by the people you already have: a volunteer on a Sunday, a stage manager in tech week, a campus AV team with more rooms than technicians. Composing takes judgement and happens in advance. Running takes a cue or a stick, and every frame on the way is a frame somebody approved.
It is sold and installed through partners who work in your segment: integrators, distributors, and rental and staging houses. A license covers a block of up to four cameras, and a block spans rooms and sites.

How to choose your room
- Choose by the room, not by the organization. A church that also records a podcast has two rooms, and each page describes the camerawork one of them asks for.
- Check the rows under Fits your room. Each controller, switcher and platform carries the state it is in today, so you can see what runs now and what is still being confirmed.
- If no page matches, choose the closest one and describe your room when you check your setup. The questions that decide fit are the same everywhere: which cameras, how they are controlled, and who is at the desk.
Questions
My kind of room is not on the list. Can we still use PTZ Composer?
The pages describe the rooms we hear about most, not a closed list. What decides fit is your cameras and how they are controlled, not the name of the room. Describe the room when you check your setup, and we answer with what the camerawork can do there and what it cannot.
Can one license block cover different kinds of rooms?
Yes. A license covers a block of up to four cameras, and a block spans rooms and sites. A sanctuary camera and two in the fellowship hall can share one block. A fifth camera needs a second block on the same plan. The pricing page explains the ways to pay.
How skilled does the person running it need to be?
The person who composes the moves needs an eye for a shot and an afternoon with the room. The person who runs them on the day presses a cue or holds a stick. A move cannot be steered off the route somebody composed, so the day-of role suits volunteers, students and busy technicians.
How do we evaluate it before we buy?
Put it through a real rehearsal and a real production. The evaluation runs fourteen days from the day your setup is confirmed, and no card is needed to start. Begin with the setup check: tell us your cameras and your room, and we come back with the compatibility answer.
Why do we buy through a partner?
Because a room is more than software. Partners design, install and support rooms like yours, and they can put PTZ Composer on the same quote, purchase order and support agreement as the rest of your AV. Tell us your segment and region, and we introduce a partner who works in your kind of room.
