At IBC2025, we catch up with Mike Egan from CyanView to discuss the RIO module. This compact solution extends CyanView’s universal camera control to cover lens focus and zoom. While many cinema cameras now feature direct IP connectivity, lens control often remains a challenge. The RIO bridges this gap, enabling operators to manage zoom and focus even when the camera body itself cannot - effectively bringing broadcast-style control into cinematic workflows.

Mike explains how RIO integrates seamlessly with CyanView’s RCP panels, providing vision engineers and operators with familiar broadcast controls like iris, gain, and ND, while adding full lens functionality. The result is a flexible, dynamic control platform that adapts to both live broadcast and cinematic production environments.
