The world's first grouping audio switching for SwipeVideo multi-angle live distribution!

Announcing the release of the new “Grouping Audio Switching” feature

 

We are pleased to announce the release of a new feature for SwipeVideo, the “Grouping Audio Switching” function.

 

Previously, SwipeVideo’s live delivery could only employ a single sound source, but we have updated the system to allow for fast switching of sound channel for each camera angle along with the video.

 

This allows users to switch between video and sound at the same time at multiple locations.

 

 

In addition, we have added a “grouping” system for switching audio during live broadcasts.

 

For example, the system is configured so that the sound from camera 1 to camera 5 at point A can be viewed as a single sound called “A,” and the sound from camera 6 at point B can be viewed as “B.”

 

The system is configured so that the sounds of 6 to 10 cameras shooting at point B can be viewed as a single sound called “B.” It is now possible to switch between the “A” and “B” sound groupings for live distribution.

 

This makes it possible to “deliver richer and more accurate information to viewers at higher speeds than ever before, with images and sounds of events happening simultaneously and multiple times at multiple locations” for use in various industries, such as sporting and music events, online lessons in the field of technical education, and more.
