For use by event designers, the Vectorworks Spotlight video camera object includes a variety of lenses, camera bodies, and stand types, to mimic real-world video camera options. The video camera’s active view displays a view similar to a real video camera using the same lens, camera body, and stand type as in the actual event space. The active view updates live as settings change, so designers can plan the lighting and shots needed for the production.
