Forty cameras, twenty-four hours, one wall to match.

Reality formats run huge mixed rigs around the clock: fixed minis in every room, roaming handhelds, hot heads in the studio. The gallery wall is unforgiving and the crew is lean.

The problem

What makes reality tv hard

Scale without headcount

Dozens of cameras cannot mean dozens of operators. Control has to concentrate.

Fixed and roaming mixed

Wall-mounted POVs and handheld mirrorless live in the same cut and rarely in the same colour space.

Always on air

There is no maintenance window. Reconfiguration happens while recording.


A gallery built around one RCP

One RCP shades the entire rig as numbered channels, up to 128 cameras under the MSU licence. Scenes and groups organise the house by room or by story.

Minis matched to handhelds

Fixed POVs join over the CI0 serial interface; a colour layer on the same channel gives small cameras real shading: black, multi-matrix and detail on top of basic exposure control.
