System T – Breaking down barriers

Providing audio production services for outside broadcast events and sports has slowly been moving away from the traditional OB truck scenario as the industry battles with reduced budgets and – more recently – with the need to reduce engineers physically being in attendance. This has resulted in new solutions to manage audio productions: ‘remote’ and ‘at home’ production.

Primestream Xchange Keeps Cisco TV Operational During COVID-19

Like multinational organizations everywhere, Cisco Television started the year with one set of goals and expectations in mind – and then woke up to a harsh new reality when the global Coronavirus pandemic hit. Almost overnight, we had to transition from a producer of major, high-profile, in-person events to an almost completely remote operation. Here’s the rundown on how we’ve accomplished that and the enabling technologies that have come into play.

In Conversation with Veritone

Greg Loose, Head of Media and Entertainment at Veritone, discusses a variety of media and entertainment trends, including:

COVID-19’s impact on M&E and how things will change in 2021: Greg believes that being able to produce content, especially editing and post-production work, using remote and cloud utilities is going to be a necessity.
Leveraging existing content to satisfy consumer demand: With more and more people at home wanting to consume more and more content, content creators have been tasked with making unique, compelling content to satisfy that need while also overcoming production difficulties to remote work.

In Conversation with Holdan

In this IABM TV interview, we hear from Richard Payne (Head of Technology, Holdan) about the latest developments at Holdan including a BirdDog development overview.

Overcoming the remote fear factor to deliver live productions from anywhere

Before the outbreak of Covid-19, transitioning to remote workflows was generally perceived as a desirable yet intimidating process for many broadcasters, and one that could be best addressed again later in the future. Those that did produce content remotely tended to focus on either lower tier sports where the audiences and expectations were smaller, or supplement traditional broadcasts of top tier or primetime events. However, the pandemic we’ve faced in 2020 has changed everything. The way live sports are produced has had to be completely rethought during the lockdown, and we’re seeing very different production models appear as we prepare to hopefully return to some semblance of normality in 2021.

The Game is Back On: Rethinking the Sports Broadcast Workflow

The world of sports suddenly froze in Spring 2020, but the thaw has begun. First came the titans of European football, then the heroes of American soccer. By August, most franchises were resuming play or planning their upcoming season with coronavirus-related restrictions. And as professional sports leagues gradually return to the ballparks, pitches, and rinks of the world, so too do the sports media professionals tasked with capturing each game. Everything is different about live sports this year, save the rulebook. Sports broadcasters and production teams are finding new ways to adapt to an ever-changing environment. Most prominent and profitable among these changes is the new fan experience.
