Canon has announced its Multi-Camera Orchestration (MCO) solution.

MCO enables multi-camera productions to be operated by a single user.

Designed for live environments such as podcasts, news, talk shows and studio productions, MCO synchronises multiple PTZ cameras to one main camera, automating movements and simplifying complex workflows.

By assigning one camera as the main, sub-cameras automatically respond to pan, tilt and zoom movements while maintaining predefined roles. This allows operators to execute coordinated camera moves and switch role sets instantly, without manual reprogramming during live production.

MCO delivers reliable subject tracking using overhead cameras, ensuring accurate performance even during fast movement and tight zooms. Cameras automatically return to the subject position without resets, supporting visual continuity in demanding live scenarios.

On-air shots can be locked instantly to maintain stable framing and eliminate unwanted camera movement, plus operators can also define no-track zones to prevent distractions and ensure cameras focus only on key areas of the scene.
