Iris Studio is a cooperative operating system for cameras that unifies and coordinates multiple video devices through a shared software layer. It lets users control, automate, and manage cameras from the cloud, regardless of hardware differences. Instead of focusing on single-device apps, Iris Studio stands out by its collaborative OS approach that abstracts hardware specifics and provides centralized management, automation, and cloud-based services at scale. Its goal is to simplify building and operating large camera networks, helping users deploy, monitor, and derive value from their camera infrastructure.

Iris Showcases the Future of PTZ Production at ISE 2026

Iris showcases the future of PTZ production at ISE 2026. BARCELONA, Spain, January 28, 2026 - Iris, the creator of the award-winning, cloud-connected platform for PTZ camera control, will showcase its transformative technology at ISE 2026, taking place February 3 - 6 at the Fira de Barcelona. Visitors to booth #4M900 will see firsthand how Iris enables seamless camera operation, automation, and collaboration, ideal for industries such as corporate AV, education, houses of worship, and live events. Rethinking PTZ production. Iris connects PTZ cameras to the cloud, offering centralized control through a browser-based interface that eliminates the need for traditional, hardware-intensive workflows. By integrating AI-powered automation, such as real-time subject tracking, framing, and position presets, Iris reduces the burden of manual camera adjustments. This allows teams to focus on storytelling and delivering polished productions, whether operating on-site or remotely. Attendees at ISE 2026 will experience live demonstrations of how Iris handles these processes, enabling fewer operators to manage more cameras across diverse production environments. In addition to its AI automation tools, Iris offers physical control capabilities through features like joystick integration, allowing for highly precise camera movements without requiring expensive, proprietary hardware. An expanding camera ecosystem. In December 2025, Iris introduced support for Iris-enabled PTZ cameras from leading manufacturers, including AIDA, BirdDog, Bolin, BZBGear, Lumens, Marshall, NEO.ID, Z CAM, HDKATOV, Everet, Angekis, and Telycam. Many of these models will be on display at the booth, showcasing direct-to-cloud connectivity and advanced control capabilities. These integrations highlight Iris's commitment to compatibility and usability across a wide camera ecosystem. For cameras not equipped with Iris-enabled firmware, the platform supports over 300 models using its innovative desktop utility, ensuring nearly universal access to its powerful features. "With Iris, you no longer have to think about where your cameras are or how to control them," said Noah Johnson, founder of Iris. "Whether your cameras are across the room or across the globe - as we'll be demonstrating at ISE - you can manage and automate your entire production from a single interface, giving you more flexibility than ever before." Meet Iris at ISE 2026. Visit Iris at booth #4M900 to see how the platform streamlines camera operations across multiple environments, from small-scale setups to complex multi-location productions. The Iris team will be available for one-on-one discussions about how the technology can simplify production management and enhance creative possibilities.
