Tile synchronized cameras into one frame
Studio aligns the source cameras, lays them out as a 2×2 or higher-resolution composite, and renders one conventional video asset.
Product and technology
The other cameras are not somewhere else.
They are already in the frame. POVPlayer turns synchronized cameras into one conventional video asset, then renders its own mobile-first playback and navigation surface. Those navigation tools work just as well when a title has only one POV, and remain precise with a mouse or keyboard.

Architecture
Encode together. Decode once. Crop locally.
Decode once
The browser receives and decodes one stream through standard video infrastructure. Every camera is present in every decoded frame.
Crop the chosen view
The player draws the active panel to a canvas. Switching angles changes source coordinates. It does not request another stream.
The honest comparison
Why not keep N streams in lockstep?
Because the viewer pays for that architecture every time they switch, preview or scrub.
| Concern | POVPlayer composite | Conventional multi-stream |
|---|---|---|
| Angle switch | Move a crop rectangle | Request or activate another stream |
| Buffer on switch | None | Possible on every switch |
| Live previews | Already decoded | N× preview bandwidth |
| Synchronization | Baked into the asset | Continuous runtime concern |
| Delivery objects | One | One per angle |
| Signed URLs | One | One per angle |
| CDN cost profile | One stream | Multiplied by active angles/previews |
Studio pipeline
The synchronization work happens once.
Prepare the asset before delivery so the browser never has to reconcile drifting streams.
