Livestreaming is changing communications. Our day long activity included an advanced demo and workshop on this cost effective way to build business relationships and grow digital presence.
Look for the recording of the panel discussion soon!
With millions of daily productions, livestreaming is one of the fastest growing creative industries in the world.
What’s driving the incredible growth of livestreaming?
-
An insatiable demand for high-quality video content
-
A sharp rise in content creators feeding platforms such as YouTube and Twitch
-
A surge in live video content needed by small and large corporations and organizations wanting to provide high-quality video, with multiple cameras switched in a live production environment
-
A huge range of new products including cameras, converters, embedded NDI® technologies, software, and accessories
It’s no surprise that companies around the world are embracing live-streaming as a way to share information and grow their digital footprint.
As a video professional, what do you need to meet the needs of your client, whether it’s a small studio-based sales event, a medium size business training, or a huge multi-location entertainment extravaganza?
And what do you need to know to effectively pre-produce the event so everything goes off smoothly? Where your presenters can focus on content, because you’ve got the technology well in hand.
This full day workshop included experts from:
-
BirdDog Technology, a global video technology company specializing in audio-visual and video products, hardware and software for video processing, transmission, and recording,
- Corporate Streams, a professional livestreaming company specializing in large events, based in Orange County,
- Video Approach and Never Forgotten Media, San Diego production companies with significant streaming capabilities,
- North County Media Center, with four studios for production, streaming and podcasting and,
