Abstract

The present disclosure describes systems and methods operating a set remotely, and more specifically, for enabling the control of a remotely adjustable audio-visual recording device as well as the communication between the remotely adjustable audio-visual recording device and various specialty devices of a cloud control center configured to remotely control features of the remotely adjustable audio-visual recording device. In operation, a talent component may receive a user input indicative of turning on the r remotely adjustable audio-visual recording device. Based on receiving the user input, the talent component may automatically connect, via a network, to a cloud control center. Based on connecting to the talent component, the cloud control center may remotely control the remotely adjustable audio-visual recording device an enable the remote recording of audio-visual content.

Background

FIELD

Examples described herein generally relate to remote media production, and more specifically, to a remotely controlled adjustable audio-visual recording device communicatively coupled to various specialty devices of a cloud control center configured to remotely control features of the adjustable audio-visual recording device. BACKGROUND

Media production is the generation of audio and/or visual content, such as a newscast, documentary, Internet video, interview, movie, television show, or other viewable media. Such generated content may be transmitted to viewers through various methods, such as broadcast audio waves, cable, satellite, wireless, or the Internet. Traditionally, a media production company includes specialized crew members, such as electricians, camera operators, the director of photography, grips, gaffers, operators, and the like, that are each responsible for various elements of a production project, from set design and lighting, to camera control and recording. For the best quality content, oftentimes content generation occurs on-set and in-person with the help of specialized media production crew members. As media production migrates from the traditional controlled production set with a large, specialized crew to remote locations with no production crew, the quality of the content generated may be compromised.

Claims

1. A system comprising: a distributed cloud control center communicatively coupled to one or more specialty devices, wherein each specialty device is configured to control one or more features of a plurality of features associated with an audio-visual content recording; and a specialty device of the one or more specialty devices configured to, based at least on an analysis of the audio-visual content recording, update at least one of the one or more features associated with the audio-visual content recording. || 17. A method comprising: receiving, at a distributed cloud control center in communication with one or more specialty devices, audio-visual content during media production recording; and based at least on an analysis of the audio-visual content, updating by at least one of the one or more specialty devices, one or more features of a media production recording of the audio-visual content.
