Transform
presentations
with the Edge AI
Video Analytics
Solution.
REA-C1000 Edge
Analytics Appliance
Get ready to grab your audience’s
attention with the first AI-based video
analytics system that lets you create a
powerful real-time video presentation
without significant added expense,
time, or manpower.
The Edge Video Analytics solution,
model REA-C1000, transforms
video presentations using artificial
intelligence. The compact and
lightweight system uses advanced AIbased video analytics technology to
analyze input received from connected
cameras, including Sony’s line of PTZ
cameras, and automatically extract
the object in focus to combine it
with other images in real time. This
unique technology using motion and
face detection and color and shape
recognition eectively makes Edge
Analytics the powerful brain of any
connected camera and AV set-up.
Transform your
Audience Engagement
With Edge Analytics you can engage your audience
like never before:
• Use tracking to stay in focus and within the frame.
• Extract characters and diagrams in real time from
white or black boards.
• Create animated imagery, still pictures, and
supporting graphics – without a dedicated studio.
• Show two dierent images at once for added impact.
• Zoom in on an audience member to show reactions
or highlight questions.
Transform Your Presentations With Powerful Features
Handwriting Extraction and Presenter Overlay (REA-L0100).
Handwriting extraction uses AR (Augmented Reality)
technology to ensure that words and diagrams written on a
white or black board are extracted and displayed in real time
in front of the presenter like a floating board. It helps record
the presenter’s ideas, thinking process, and passion on video
and transmit them to an audience.
PTZ Auto Tracking (REA-L0200). Edge Analytics, combined
with Auto Tracking software, enables the Sony PTZ cameras to
accurately and smoothly track your figure to ensure you stay
in focus and within the frame throughout your presentation.
This is another cost-eective solution that eliminates the cost
of a camera operator.
Close Up by Gesture (REA-L0300). This intelligent zoom
feature allows the video to recognize when someone in the
audience stands up from a seated position, and automatically
zooms in on the corresponding location. You can display both a
wide-angle view and an electronically zoomed view in real time.
detector technology can extract and overlay your figure
on any background image, animation, or video in real time
without a dedicated green screen. So you can create specific
overlay content such as animated imagery, still pictures, and
supporting graphics, which provide an interesting backdrop
to your presentation. This is a hassle-free and easy-tooperate solution, without the cost of a dedicated green
screen, lighting or skilled sta.
Focus Area Cropping* (REA-L0500). Focus Area Cropping
allows an image frame captured by a single camera to be
viewed as two dierent output images simultaneously. For
example, you can stream a close-up Full HD image as a
cutout from the main wide-angle 4K image. In addition, the
cropped area can be selected as static or dynamic to follow
your movements using built-in features like motion and face
detection and color pattern and shape recognition.
*Chromakey-less GC Overlay and Focus Area Cropping software to be available late 2019.
System Workflow
The Edge Analytics solution is compatible with Sony network cameras to allow for the transmission of the video images straight
to the display or recording device. This enables the handwriting extraction technology, for example, to be used easily without any
distraction to the presenter or audience.
As the powerful brain of any connected camera and AV set-up, Edge works like a virtual camera operator
at your fingertips and allows you to cost-eectively create professional, engaging content for teaching,
training, seminars, events, and conferences in a broad range of applications:
Education
