Video Mixing & Streaming
Using our high end vMix workstation we were able to mix between four HDSDI cameras and many computer inputs over our IP network. The vMix system has huge flexibility and it can manage an entire production in the hands of a skilled operator. We also used separate vMix servers to handle the incoming/ outgoing video calls with the remote presenter and this allowed the vision director to focus solely on video mixing and spreading the workload amongst other systems creating added resilience.
Remote Link With Guernsey Studio
We also used high end laptops with the vMix platform to manage remote guests and video links using the platforms proprietary system, vCall. It can be setup with functionalities such as individual audio talkback which allows the operating engineer to privately communicate with the guest both off and on air. We were also able to set up a Green Room, where multiple guests, show producers and the engineers can see and communicate whilst off air.
Teleprompting & Tally Lights
Teleprompting options at conferences are often provided with the use of large relay screens. However, in a studio environment we use a teleprompting script right in front of but invisible to the camera lens. This allows a very natural presentation to camera whilst being able to read the script simultaneously. Our vMix server includes Tally light functionality, which also allows us to place tally devices on each camera. These provide indicator lights to the presenters, showing which camera is live and which camera will be next.
Studio Green Screening
Using the inbuilt Chroma Keying abilities of our vMix server, it was straight forward to setup a filming location to the side of the studio with a green material backdrop and descent studio lighting. A few adjustments in the server and we had a live “Weather forecast” type presentation area allowing us to super impose the presenter over their chosen background.
