Sony REA-C1000 Edge Analytics Appliance

The REA-C1000 Edge Analytics Appliance creates impactful video presentation content that previously would have required significant time, expense, and human resource to produce. With Artificial Intelligence-led technology, the REA-C1000 vastly improves the quality of communication by empowering the presenter to deliver content and to engage their audience like never before. No matter where the speaker is standing, the handwriting extraction feature ensures that any words and diagrams written on a board or screen remain in full view to the audience — via AR (augmented reality). Even if the speaker is standing directly in front of the board, their ideas, thinking process, and even their animated presentation, are all accessible to the audience. It’s also easy for remote viewers and those playing back the presentation at a later date to become immersed in the content too, as the presenter is overlaid and the content is never compromised.

The Chromakey-less CG Overlay feature enables the presenter to deliver impactful supporting content, in real-time without a dedicated studio or specialized content creators. Users can autonomously create specific animated imagery, still pictures, and supporting graphics, which provide an easy backdrop to their presentation. Also, PTZ Auto-Framing offers powerful AI-powered video analytics that can automatically detect and track the position of a presenter within the camera frame. As the presenter moves, the camera’s pan/tilt/zoom mechanism ensures that the presenter is always framed naturally, without the need for a human camera operator to manually follow their movements.
