Scalable Canon PTZ Video Workflows for Podcasts, Interviews & Music Studios

A Canon-based video system can flex to meet your needs, from solo podcasting setups to full studio control rooms, as covered in this article. You can control PTZ cameras using the RC-IP100 joystick console or operate them via software from a PC or editing room.

Workflows can scale from basic to broadcast:

Solo control: Hosts can switch shots, monitor audio, and manage graphics (though this requires multitasking).

Dedicated control room: An operator in a separate space focuses on camera moves, sound levels, and overall broadcast quality. 

The setup supports:

• Full multi-cam recording (all camera feeds + program output)
• Live graphics and overlays
• IP-based camera control and signal routing using NDI
• This kind of system isn't just for interviews or podcasts. It excels in:
• Studio music performances
• Behind-the-scenes content
• Livestream concerts

Cameras can be repositioned on tripods and use presets to simulate multi-cam operation with fewer units. It’s a cost-effective way to get polished, dynamic content that looks like it was shot with a full production crew.
