remote camera protocols?

[Michael Thomas <mike@xxxxxxxx>]

I have a friend who is a theater person, who as everybody knows has been 
completely shut down. I remarked to him that it's probably time to start 
thinking about streaming plays. His counter is that it's expensive which 
I'm guessing is mainly in the production costs much more than the 
equipment. What occurs to me is that you don't *really* need camera 
people on site, or at least it's very plausible that they could do this 
remotely which would cut down quite a bit of the cost.

So the obvious question is whether there are existing standards for 
remote operation of cameras, sound equipment, lighting, etc? Is this 
something we've done?
