Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
TruZoom provides real-time 4K/UHD recording, playback, and region of interest (ROI)
selection with timeline-based keyframeable control. The power of the TruZoom system
provides unsurpassed flexibility and performance for recording, assembling, and playing
back real-time sports, lecture hall/panel discussions, or courtroom video.
You can eliminate the need for multiple cameras minimizing space and cabling
requirements by using TruZoom with a single, UHD 4K camera coupled with region of
interest selection and playback.
The TruZoom system consists of:
• An AJA Corvid Ultra processing unit
• One or two TruScale scaling engines
• A control panel with joystick
• The TruZoom application software.
The control panel and software operate with a qualified high-performance customer-
furnished Windows workstation, including a RAID for high data-rate recording and
playback. (If you use the system for live ROI extraction only, without record or playback, a
RAID is not required.)
