Sony updates Camera Remote SDK

Sony Electronics Inc. updated its Camera Remote SDK to version 1.06, adding compatibility with Cinema Line Cameras, the FX6, FX3, and FX30 and key functionality to support third parties in the development of bespoke applications. Version 1.06 of the Camera Remote SDK, available to download for free starting today, offers new features that are particularly important in the areas of inspection, and multi-camera production.

A newly added Drone GPS sync with location information transfer function enables linking GPS information to still images in real-time with high precision. This is done by sending “ImageID” from SDK. New operational menu settings, including the Reset / Save Settings, provide smooth and efficient workflows, especially when multiple takes are needed in a row.

The new compatibility with FX6 offers basic control supported by Content Mobile Browser and allows for up to five units to be controlled in parallel.

“We are fully committed to enhancing the SDK experience and maintaining an open policy for partners to find new and different ways to benefit from our industry-leading camera technologies,” said Yang Cheng, Vice President, Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics Inc. “We’ve been thrilled with all the innovation we’ve seen to date from developers and are excited to continue to build this strong momentum.” ​ ​

The Camera Remote SDK can be used to control several cameras in the Sony camera range including newly added Cinema Line cameras, with the full list here.
