Haivision and Cyanview Partner to Deliver Integrated Advanced Camera Control on Falkon X4 Mobile Video Transmitter
Haivision (TSX: HAI), a leading global provider of mission-critical, real-time video networking and visual collaboration solutions, today announced a new technology partnership with Cyanview, the Belgian company behind the industry-standard RIO camera control ecosystem. Through this collaboration, Cyanview’s RIO technology is now embedded directly inside the Falkon X4 mobile video transmitter, transforming the device into a fully integrated remote production platform that unifies live video transmission, return video, intercom, tally, and advanced camera control in one compact unit.
Embedded RIO Technology Inside Falkon X4
With RIO now built into the Falkon X4 hardware and software environment, broadcasters can leverage a powerful camera-side interface and protocol gateway that enables professional remote camera control workflows including paint and shading, iris control, white balance, gain/ ISO, color settings, lens control, and tally management. With the combined Falkon X4 and RIO solution, operators can remotely shade and manage a wide range of professional cameras using Cyanview’s popular RCP control panel, intuitive web interface, and continuously expanding library of supported camera protocols.

A Complete Remote Production Platform in One Device
The Falkon X4 now consolidates the essential elements of remote production into a single field-ready device to enable:
- Live video transport from the field to the production center
- Low latency return video for monitoring and teleprompting
- Two–way intercom for real-time communication
- Professional camera control and shading workflows
- Tally distribution for multi-camera coordination
This integrated approach dramatically reduces the number of devices required at the camera position, minimizing cabling, weight, and setup complexity while improving reliability in demanding live environments.
Hardware + Software Integration for Maximum Compatibility
Falkon X4 includes the hardware interfaces required to support Cyanview RIO functionality, including serial connectivity for vendor-specific camera control. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional cameras, including models that cannot be controlled through IP alone.

On the software side, Falkon X4 incorporates Cyanview’s RIO environment, giving customers long-term access to Cyanview’s continuously evolving camera control platform. The solution allows for frictionless updates of the RIO software enabling:
- Faster support for new camera models
- Newly added camera features and parameters
- Continuous evolution of camera control capabilities
This architecture ensures Falkon X4 customers gain an expanding camera control ecosystem throughout the lifetime of the device.
“Remote production workflows demand simplicity, reliability, and tight integration,” said Jean-Marc Racine, Chief Product Officer at Haivision. “By embedding Cyanview’s RIO directly into the Falkon X4, we’re giving broadcasters a powerful, all-in-one platform that reduces on-site complexity while delivering the professional camera control capabilities required for high-end sports, news, and live events.”
“Cyanview’s mission has always been to make camera control universal, flexible, and accessible,” said David Bourgeois, CEO Cyanview. “Integrating RIO into Haivision Falkon X4 brings our ecosystem directly into the heart of remote production, ensuring customers benefit from seamless workflows and long-term compatibility with the cameras they rely on.”
