Diagram: Multi-studio productions, centrally operated

Picture three separate studio rooms — or three separate buildings, even — all feeding into one nerve center where your production team actually directs the show. That's what this diagram captures.

Read it left-to-right. Studios 1, 2, and 3 each sit on the left with their own kit. The internet in the middle is the connective tissue. Your Control Room — where the real work happens — sits on the right.

Studios 1 and 2 are "traditional" setups: a PTZ camera, a network switch, and an Iris Bridge Computer that hands the feeds off to the cloud. Studio 3 keeps things light with just Iris-Enabled Cameras — no on-site computer required. The Control Room runs its own Iris Bridge Computer alongside a mixing console, so a single director can pull in every camera, from every studio, in one place.

The key insight: it doesn't matter whether each studio is across the hall or across a continent. As long as it's online, it shows up in the Control Room as if it were plugged in locally.

Use this diagram as your reference whenever someone asks how Iris scales beyond a single room.
