How far will cameras evolve in the future?
At BIRTV 2026, Asia's largest broadcasting equipment exhibition,
we could see that the familiar conventions of shooting equipment
are changing rapidly.
Sony showcased the FX5's AI subject tracking, open-gate shooting,
and cinematic live broadcasting technologies,
actively targeting even the vertical streaming market.
Chinese companies are creating separate product lines
for vertical cameras specialized in live broadcasting
and short-form content production.
DJI combined LiDAR and gimbal technology to present
a system capable of stable shooting
even in spaces difficult for humans to access directly.
Shooting assistance equipment is also changing.
Active suction systems attached to vehicles and
filming robot arms that anyone can operate with a game controller have appeared,
lowering the barrier to entry for shooting techniques
that were previously possible only in high-cost production settings.
The most eye-catching technology is 4D volumetric capture,
which records space and movement itself using hundreds of cameras.
If a once-recorded scene can be viewed later from any desired position and angle,
how will movies, performances, sports, and VR content change?
We witnessed on-site that competition is shifting beyond the performance battle of a single camera
to recording entire spaces.
