Latin America. Audinate launched Irisla, a platform that transforms the way cameras are controlled and productions are managed. By turning virtually any PTZ camera into a software-connected, remotely controlled device, Iris eliminates the traditional limitations of camera operation, such as hardware dependencies, inconsistent control, and lack of on-site personnel.
The platform eliminates the common problems of production equipment: the fragmentation of tools and control protocols between brands, the need for constant manual adjustments, and the inherent limitations of on-site equipment and personnel. Iris changes this by offering universal browser-based control that works with all camera brands and enables complete production management from anywhere in the world.
A production assistant in each chamber
The platform's AI-powered automation handles traditionally manual tasks, such as tracking and framing subjects in real-time, allowing operators to focus on creative decisions rather than technical adjustments. Its intuitive interface ensures that non-technical users can achieve professional results, democratizing access to advanced features that deliver the production quality of higher-budget operations.
The impact goes far beyond individual productions. Organizations that use Iris can scale their operations without proportionately increasing their costs or team size. A single operator can manage multiple cameras in multiple locations, while remote teams collaborate in real-time as if they were in the same room. This scalability opens doors to productions that were previously impractical or impossible, from small community theater live streams to global corporate events that span multiple time zones.
Industry support from day one
Through the Iris desktop app, production teams can quickly discover, connect, and control more than 300 camera models on their local network. For those using Iris-compatible cameras, the platform is integrated directly into the device's firmware, instantly connecting to the cloud without the need for additional hardware or complex configurations.
This direct-to-cloud capability debuts alongside extensive support from leading PTZ camera manufacturers, including AIDA, BirdDog, Bolin, BZBGear, Everet, HDKATOV, Lumens, Marshall, NEOiD, Telycam, and Z CAM. Together, these integrations position Iris as the leading software standard for camera control.
Designed for production, driven by innovation
"Setup now takes minutes, not hours," said Noah Johnson, founder of Iris. "Our custom controllers unlock all camera features, not just the most common ones, and our smart framing tools make operating the cameras feel natural, fast, and cinematic. And because Iris resides in the cloud, her cameras are now truly remote – she can manage, access, and control them from anywhere, at any time."
Iris is designed to ensure that no production is left behind, even if your cameras are not equipped with Iris-compatible firmware. With Iris's innovative desktop utility and browser-based interface, virtually any PTZ camera can be connected and controlled without hardware.
This bridging software allows production teams to access advanced automation and PTZ control features on cameras from brands that are not yet natively supported. This ensures that even older or third-party hardware can access the platform's capabilities, extending the life of the equipment and maximizing the investment.
Real impact on different sectors
The Iris platform reinvents the possibilities in virtually any type of production. Worship centers can train teams of volunteers to deliver professional-looking live streams using automation and visual effects. Educational institutions can manage cameras in different classrooms with a centralized remote control room.
Corporate teams can produce executive communications and general meetings across multiple offices. Media producers can collaborate in real-time across different locations for smooth productions. With Iris, even remote interviews become simple: send a camera, connect it, and instantly access video and controls in your Iris account.
By removing traditional barriers to camera control and production management, Iris enables creators to focus on what matters most: telling engaging stories and delivering exceptional experiences. Users can update the firmware of any Iris-compatible camera to instantly enhance their PTZ camera.
Available Now
The Iris platform is available on tryiris.ai so content producers can connect their cameras immediately. In addition, its software is included in cameras from some manufacturers through simple firmware updates.
The platform's flexible pricing model, which includes a free plan for those using a single camera as a production source, allows users to only pay for the size of their productions, making it easier for organizations of all sizes to access professional features. With plug-and-play setup and an intuitive interface, teams can start transforming their workflows in minutes.
