The AIR Platform is built from the ground up for pro-grade video livestreaming. Born from decades of pain shooting multicamera live events, we’ve created a remote system that is plug-and-play, minimizes equipment, captures better video, and radically reduces production costs.
Capture in 4K with AIR One
AIR One is a cloud-native smart gimbal equipped with a 4K digital cinema camera and interchangeable lens that you can control from anywhere. It fits in a case small enough for carry on luggage, it’s light enough to mount anywhere, and it gives you more precise camera control than any other PTZ system. Set it up, plug it in, turn it on, and start shooting in a matter of minutes. AIR One supports any micro 4/3 lens up to 300mm in length, flies a number of different camera models, can connect directly to the internet or a traditional hardware switcher, and seamlessly integrates into any production environment.
Control from anywhere with AIR app
On prem or from hundreds of miles away, AIR’s unique iOS app brings you full camera control with the touch of a finger. And it’s bundled with the iPad that comes with your AIR One kit!
Pan and zoom with ease, precision, and smoothness. Set multispeed recalls with a long press, and execute with a double tap. Let AIR app autofocus for you, or manually focus with a slider. Once you experience the ease and precision of shooting from an iPad, you won’t want to go back (but if you need more traditional control options, we offer that, too).
Produce seamlessly with AIRcloud
AIRcloud gives you full integration over the camera-to-viewer workflow, acting as an orchestration layer between AIR One, your cameras, your favorite production apps, and your CDN. It is a force-multiplier for your crew, simplifying shoot preparation, crew assignments, switching, comms, media asset management, and storage all in one place. In most cases you won’t need to roll an OB truck and can run a high definition multicam stream over standard broadband. At ultra low latency, your team can run multiple units onsite or offsite, and your director can call shots from anywhere as if they were in the same room!
Through robotics and cloud computing, we’ve made multicam video production better, simpler, and radically less expensive.
“Advanced Image Robotics’s technology solves critical problems in the video production process that no one else is doing. They have overcome the physical barriers of the camera-to-viewer workflow to take it into the future.”

“On a reality TV set, setup time, camera precision, and editing speed is crucial to getting the best possible content. AIR’s technology is a major shift in the way we do this.”
Jim Orr
Director/Cinematographer, Duck Dynasty, Frontline, Deadliest Warrior
“AIR helps reduce cost while outputting better content; a consistent goal for our clients. AIR’s tech will have a huge impact solving for industry budget reductions and labor shortages.”

STEPS
AIR Production Workflow
Our cloud-native workflow enables you to have a small on-site crew while most functions take place remotely through the AIRcloud platform. The AIR workflow is cloud-native by design and ultra-low latency. It involves five main steps:
Produce with AIRcloud
Cloud-based switching using your favorite tools (vMix, OBS, VizVector).
Stream to Any CDN
Switcher output to your content delivery network of choice. Drag and drop footage to your video editor of choice.
