Technology and Solutions
Camera & Lens
No matter your budget or technical requirements, we offer systems capable of full camera and lens control, ranging from fixed focal length action cameras to full cinema solutions. Whether you’re recording locally in the camera native file format or streaming a clean, high resolution feed to a production switcher for live broadcast, we provide end-to-end image control tools. For the peace-of-mind of your on-air talent and production team, we engineer solutions operated by a fully remote or near-set crew.
Our specialists will consult with your creative team to find an optical choice that creates the look you want while fulfilling your operational needs of remote control and still maintaining your budget. There is no need for the needs of remote production to limit your creative intent. Solutions include:
- Small, lightweight camera solutions
- Full cinema cameras and lens options
- Full remote lens control
- Cost effective POV and personal cameras
Motion
To create engaging content, we have a full complement of solutions that replicate traditional camera moves while shooting remotely. Whether it’s a small footprint PTZ camera or a full cinema setup on remote heads with motorized sliders, we’ve devised solutions for productions of all sizes. For those looking to take remote camera movement to the next level, the Motion Impossible AGITO is changing the game.
- Remote controllable PTZ systems
- Sliders and dollies
- Remote heads
- AGITO modular, remote dolly
Lighting
Tell your story and control your mood with a vast array of lighting choices. If your remote production requires no crew at all, we’ve taken the guesswork out of lighting by simplifying desktop setups, especially as on-air talent may not be comfortable adjusting their own lighting. Lighting kits can range from these desktop options to production fixtures, all of which can be controlled by a remote operator.
- Remote operation for light intensity, color temperature, effects, etc.
- Lighting fixtures with addressable movement
Audio
Clean and clear audio is critical for all productions. With our customized solutions, record clear audio just as you would traditionally with lavaliers and boom microphones, with the added ability to remotely monitor and mix.
- Remote audio monitoring
- Remote audio mixing from multiple sources
Remote Connectivity
Now that you’ve deployed production gear to your talent location, how do you get that image back to base camp? How do your remote engineers control the camera settings? No matter how challenging or remote the location, we’ve devised solutions that allow for uninterrupted signal flow.
- Bonded and aggregate cellular solutions
- Virtual private network (VPN) connectivity
- Fiber and near-set solutions with simplified cable runs or wireless
- Satellite truck deployment in extreme remote cases
Switching & Presentation
Another way to maintain the ability to create engaging live content is with the addition of switchers, graphics, media playback, and character generators. All of these devices can be remotely controlled for a seamless production.
- Live switching
- Vision mixing
- Graphics, media playback
- Character generation
Delivery & Collaboration
A benefit of remote production is that your delivery and collaboration options are endless. We can work with you to design a solution that streams to your platform of choice, allowing for a multitude of distribution opportunities.
Rather than limiting communication, remote production comes with new collaboration tools. Frame.io is a cloud-based collaboration tool that allows your team to review and comment on video content from anywhere. Get feedback and approvals when you need them, so you stay creative and productive while maintaining data security. For educators, Smashcut is an innovative online learning platform that allows for on-demand and live instruction, plus one-on-one and group interaction.
- Stream to platform of choice
- Integrate with asset management platforms
- Frame.io cloud-based collaboration platform
- Smashcut online learning platform
