Canon's Innovative AMLOS Remote Meeting Solution

In a significant advancement in remote conferencing technology, Canon Marketing Japan has announced the upcoming launch of its innovative solution, AMLOS (Activate My Line of Sight), which will be made available in software component form starting January 2026. This cutting-edge system allows a single camera to deliver multiple perspectives to participants in virtual meetings and lectures, enhancing the overall interactive experience. Demonstrations of AMLOS will take place at Canon's booth during the Inter BEE 2025 exhibition at Makuhari Messe starting November 19, 2025.

What is AMLOS?

AMLOS is a remote conferencing solution developed by Canon U.S.A., Inc. that utilizes a single camera to provide various viewing angles for meeting and lecture participants. Unlike traditional one-dimensional video streaming, AMLOS allows audiences to freely choose from several content sources, including video, presentations, and images. This flexibility creates a more organic and engaging virtual environment for discussions and presentations.

Key Features of AMLOS

Starting in January 2026, three main components of AMLOS will be available for purchase:
1. AMLOS Hub – A server function that aggregates and distributes multiple sources of content.
2. AMLOS Edge – A user interface (UI) that allows viewers to select their preferred perspectives.
3. AMLOS Camera – A video processing feature that generates multiple screens from a single camera feed, incorporating distortion correction and transparency processing for improved visibility.

These features will be offered in software component form, enabling system integrators to tailor them according to the unique needs and environments of customer enterprises.

AMLOS Hub: Server Functionality

The AMLOS Hub serves as the backbone of the AMLOS system, capable of aggregating and distributing various sources such as camera feeds, projection materials, and images. This scalability facilitates video streaming in both small conference rooms and large auditoriums, ensuring that diverse audience sizes can receive multiple viewpoints during lectures and events.

AMLOS Edge: Intuitive User Interface

The AMLOS Edge UI allows viewers to select and watch multiple perspectives with ease. Users can directly manipulate the display, choosing from camera feeds, whiteboards, shared screens, or other focal points, with the capability to show up to four screens simultaneously. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface empowers audiences to shift their focus seamlessly, while integrators can customize layouts to meet specific client demands.

AMLOS Camera: Advanced Video Processing

The AMLOS Camera feature enables the generation of multiple independent outputs from a single Canon remote camera, equipped to correct distortions and manage transparency for clearer displays. This function allows for both wide-angle views and specific highlights (like whiteboards or chalkboards) to be streamed as separate video feeds, ensuring that important visual information is presented clearly and accurately to the audience. The system supports Canon’s indoor 4K PTZ camera series, ensuring high-quality video output and smooth operations.
