PTZ ComposerSet the shots once. Trigger them while you stream.
Compose the handful of moves your show actually uses, rehearse them on your own cameras, and cue them with a key while you stay on camera. A flight is an authored camera move, with a planned route, framing and pace from departure through landing.
One or two PTZ cameras in a room you set up yourself, and a computer running OBS or vMix. You are in front of the lens rather than behind a joystick, with the app or a VISCA panel beside the keyboard.
Three moments
The reveal you set once.
The move from your face to the build on the bench, composed at the pace you want it and cued with a key. It runs the same way on Thursday as it did on Tuesday, so the bit lands the same both times.
A reframe that reads as deliberate.
Wide to close on yourself, travelling through the framing you chose rather than snapping between two presets. Your viewers read it as production; you read it as one key.
Two cameras that look like one person shot them.
The second angle gets its own prepared moves and its own timing, so cutting between them looks like a small crew instead of two parked cameras pointed at the same room.
You are on camera, not on a joystick
Riding a stick mid-sentence is how a stream loses its thread, and leaving the camera parked is why a two-camera setup can still look like a webcam. The camerawork goes in before you go live, and going live becomes a short list of keys you press without looking.
Compose your shots
Shape the route, framing and pace of the moves your show uses: the wide, the close, the reveal to the desk, the swing to the second seat. You do this once, in your own room.
Rehearse off air
Run each move on your own camera and adjust the pace until it looks like you meant it. A move that the camera cannot hold is caught here, not live in front of chat.
Arrange the stream
Put the prepared shots in a rundown in the order your show uses them, and keep each flight one press away, so the moves you reach for most sit under the keys you reach for most.
Perform live
Press the key at the moment you are already living in, or ride the timing of the move yourself from the joystick or the wheel on the controller you already use. That is what you reach for when a moment wants to run longer.

Each row carries the state it is actually in today. Choose one to read what it does and what it does not do yet.

Manufacturer and product names belong to their owners. A name here describes what the software talks to, and states no endorsement or partnership.
Two answers, and we always say which one applies to you. Tested means a named model, firmware and control path we have flown; supported protocol means the camera speaks a control path we read, and the software measures it and tells you honestly whether it can fly it.
Proof
Film of real flights appears here when a Tested model has one on tape. Until then, here is what the software is doing for the shot.

Questions
I have never operated a camera. What do I actually press?
The camerawork gets decided when you have time to decide it: you shape a move off air, watch it, change it and keep it. Live, you press a key. A VISCA joystick panel works today, where a preset key cues a prepared flight and the stick can ride its timing. A Bitfocus Companion module, which is how a Stream Deck would reach it, is in evaluation, and cueing from an OBS or vMix production is planned. The integrations page states where each one stands.
Will my cameras work?
Tell us the make, the model and how they are controlled. Tested means a model and control path we have flown ourselves. Supported protocol means we measure your camera and tell you plainly what it can do.
Does my stream pass through it?
No. It moves the cameras and leaves your video alone: OBS, vMix, your capture cards and your encoder keep the path they have today, and your scene collection does not change.
Will it move the camera that is live?
With a Blackmagic ATEM, the software reads which camera is on program, and that camera does not move under the cut. The other switcher paths (vMix, OBS, TriCaster, Ross, NDI tally) are planned, and each row on the integrations page states its status. Without an ATEM, you keep the discipline where you keep it today, in how you arrange the shots you cue.
Does this do esports?
It fits the player cameras and the caster positions, and we make no claim about covering gameplay.
I have one camera. Is that enough?
Yes. One camera with three composed moves looks more produced than two cameras parked on presets. The second camera makes cutting worth doing, and the moves you already composed carry over to it.
What does it cost, and can I try it first?
Licensing is sold as a block of up to four cameras, so a one or two camera room sits inside a single block, and the pricing page carries the three ways to pay. A fourteen-day evaluation runs on your own cameras with no card.
Buying
Each plan covers a block of up to four cameras. A fifth camera needs a second block on the same plan. Blocks can span rooms and sites.
Put it through a real rehearsal and a real production first. Your evaluation runs fourteen days from the day your setup is confirmed. No card is needed to start.

The short version
- The three moves: the reveal you set once, a reframe that reads as deliberate, and a second angle with its own timing.
- Who operates: you do. You compose the moves off air and cue them with a key while you stay on camera.
- What you press: the app or a VISCA joystick panel today. A Bitfocus Companion module, which is how a button surface would reach it, is in evaluation.
- Your stream keeps its own path; the software moves cameras and leaves the video chain alone.
- Runs on macOS and Windows. One license covers either.
- Licensing is sold as a block of up to four cameras, and a block spans rooms and sites.
- A fourteen-day evaluation, no card, on your own cameras and your own show.
- Buy through your integrator or distributor.
