Automation with editorial control

A camera system that understands radio.

Radio conversations are fluid. Speakers interrupt, microphones open and close, music starts, calls enter and the producer sometimes needs a different shot. CLOSE combines real-time studio information with a camera director designed for both continuous automation and immediate intervention.

BotCAM listens to the workflowMicrophone activity and console states become production decisions. Camera Director controls the picturePreview sources, select shots, recall presets and trigger scenes. CLOSE connects the complete showReturn automatically to music video, commercials or scheduled content.

One production system · Two operational layers

Automation handles the routine. The producer controls the exception.

BotCAM and Camera Director are strongest together: one keeps the show moving continuously; the other provides deliberate editorial control.

AUTOMATION LAYERBotCAMRUNNING

Automatic direction from the studio conversation.

BotCAM senses the signal present at each microphone and selects the configured camera or PTZ shot as dialogue moves between participants.

How BotCAM follows the conversation

From microphone activity to the final shot—in real time.

The exact integration depends on the console, but the production logic remains simple and consistent.

On-air state

The console opens the microphones and the live camera workflow becomes active.

Voice activity

BotCAM senses the signal present at each enabled microphone.

Shot decision

The configured logic selects the camera, composition or PTZ preset.

Live switch

The selected shot reaches program while BotCAM continues following the dialogue.

When the on-air light turns offCLOSE returns to AUTOMATIC mode and resumes the music video, commercial, station ID or scheduled content already playing in the radio automation.AUTOMATIC
