CloseVU Producer allows content editors to easily transform conventional HD and SD media to produce rich content for a compelling mobile experience. "Smart Zoom" technology lets editors frame and zoom to adapt images for mobile TV delivery.

CloseVU Live Producer is a unique solution to deliver enhanced, high quality video coverage of live events, such as action-packed sports matches, to mobile devices. With the simple-to-use CloseVU Live Producer editors can re-frame and re-size their content within the safety of a predetermined buffer, to show the best camera angles and close-ups for the small screen. The software allows editors to zoom in on the action in just a few seconds and deliver a mobile-friendly version with smooth, natural camera angles and quality close-ups. CloseVU Live Producer will easily integrate into production workflows with SDI or Analog video connectors.
