Sony expands its vision for Camera Remote SDK Sony has expanded the functionality of its Camera Remote SDK, in version 1.04, and increased the range of compatible models. Aimed at applications involving photogrammetry, speed cameras and mapping systems, the updated SDK now allows up to 20 cameras to be synchronised, via USB or Ethernet connectivity for greater distances. As well as the Sony Alpha 1 camera, the SDK also allows the small, lightweight RX0 II camera (above) to be used and fully automated. The development kit was initially for the Alpha 7R mark IV and the Alpha 9 mark II. In summary, the Camera Remote SDK allows users to control Sony’s cameras remotely from a computer, from changing the camera settings, to remote shutter release and live view monitoring. It means developers can design bespoke applications for size-critical drone and speed camera systems, for example, as well as other medical, education, government, and e-commerce functions.
