The changing face of video consumption
In the days, not so long ago, when terrestrial television was pretty much the only game in town, technology limited us to just a handful of channels. That was eased by the first cable systems which could deliver a few more, but in many territories, cable was available to only a small part of the population so there was no commercial market for more channels.
Remote Access to Shared Storage: VPN vs. Remote Desktop
There have been a lot of changes to production workflows since 2020. Creative teams had to adjust to working from home, and in many cases this was done by spinning up (sometimes hastily) remote desktop utilities or a VPN server with little time for due diligence on how it would affect the team’s workflow.

世界に向けたライブ映像配信の民主化 – 舞台芸術業界における一例 –
２０２０年、オペラ公演のライブ映像配信を主導する為に私は台湾に入った。しかし新型コロナウイルス感染症の予期せぬ急速な世界的拡大のため、突如台湾国内の特定の建物への入館も外国人には禁じられ、不幸な事に私が目的とするオペラハウスもそれに含まれていた。もはや顔を合わせてライブ配信の指導ができなくなった私は、ホテルの一室で配信に用いる機器の設定や試験を綿密に済ませ、その機器をオペラ公演現場のカメラチームに手渡す他に取る手段はなかった。カメラチームは、その機器を簡単に数本のケーブル接続を行い、配信開始のボタンを押すというシンプルな手順で見事に彼らにとって初めてのライブ映像配信を成し遂げてくれた。これは弊社 “SIMPLE LaaS” (Livestream-as-a-Service)が生れた瞬間でもあった。
以下に示す簡単な４ステップで特別な技術者の助けを借りることなく、劇場の現場の方々のみで高品質のライブ配信が可能に成る、というサービスである。
