FreeD Protocol Integrated for VR/AR Video Production
FreeD (Free Dimensional Video) is a protocol that enables the capture and rendering of immersive, three-dimensional video content. It is especially useful for virtual live video productions with baseband video feeds and, with Bolin PTZ cameras, with ultra-low latency AV Over IP streaming. This capability can be widely used in applications like weather reporting, sports, news, and live events.

FreeD helps provide all the axis data needed for a Bolin PTZ camera to intelligently and smoothly pan, tilt, and zoom while following designated objects and people. Broadcasters can combine Bolin’s FreeD-enabled PTZ cameras with available, sophisticated software to automate complex camera operations with spectacular results.
