Multicamera production and live streaming

A basic production includes cameras, live video switching, audio processing, graphics, broadcast connections and recording. The setup depends largely on the event programme and the visual impact you want to achieve. At its simplest, it might consist of one or two robotic cameras and a speech audio feed from the venue’s system. For a full broadcast-quality production, we can provide operated and robotic cameras, camera cranes, wireless Steadicams, replay systems and a separate broadcast audio mix to suit your event.

Multicamera production allows switching between wide shots, close-ups of speakers or groups of speakers, and presentation materials. This makes the broadcast more dynamic and engaging, particularly during longer events. If required, the production can be scaled up to a broadcast-quality setup comparable to a television production.

DCLive is DC EventTech’s own streaming platform, with a visual design tailored to the client’s brand. It enables lead collection through viewer registration and audience participation through our M-Wall system. Compared with public platforms, it also has the advantage of no automated copyright restrictions. An international CDN allows the platform to scale easily to tens of thousands of viewers.

Yes. An HD recording is always included in the price of the streaming production. Separate editing and post-production are available as required. We deliver the unedited recording as a file approximately one day after the event ends.

Yes. A remote speaker’s video and audio can be brought into both the venue’s system and the live stream, allowing them to join an on-site panel discussion, for example. Remote connections always require additional equipment, so they need to be considered well in advance. We also strongly recommend testing the connection with the speaker before the event day.

A hybrid event has both an on-site audience and remote participants. At a virtual event, the audience follows the programme entirely online and only the performers or speakers attend the venue.

Yes. We can integrate the simultaneous interpretation system we provide with the live broadcast, offering remote viewers different language versions depending on the viewing solution selected.

Microphones and the mixing approach are planned for both the audience at the venue and remote viewers listening through headphones. In demanding productions, a separate broadcast audio mix offers greater control because venue sound and broadcast audio behave differently. A separate broadcast mix allows speech and music levels to be optimised for remote viewers, who may be listening through headphones, for example.

One camera may be sufficient for a simple, short speaking event, while panels and performances with several participants benefit from multiple camera angles. With a single camera, every camera movement is visible in the broadcast, and an audience member walking in front of the camera could block the entire view. The number of cameras is planned around the programme, camera positions and budget.

The price depends on the number of cameras and amount of equipment, staffing, production duration, venue conditions, distribution platform and post-production work. An accurate estimate requires information about the programme, venue and audience size, among other details.
