Ok, so lets start off slow so your can (maybe) wrap your mind around just how much time, money, (1.23 billion paid in rights fees alone in the U.S.) equipment, and logistics, go into this awesome spectacle called the 2016 Rio Olympics. But before we can move forward lets go backwards just for a second so one can understand and compare the scope of the production. Lets say you’ve been asked to produce a local college basketball game. Maybe 6 to 8 weeks out. No problem. One or two production trucks, maybe eight or 10 cameras, gfx, transmission, audio, just one venue.

Live video production via IP, and specifically over the Internet, is transforming the content consumed by the public, offering producers an array of new workflow options that were unimaginable even a few years ago. There has been a recent influx of video conferencing tools like Zoom, WebEx and others, being used on a daily basis for traditional broadcasts by major TV networks. The ability to "bring in" remote presenters, guest speakers and international contributors are rapidly transforming not only the traditional broadcast market but also the educational, religious, and government production workflows. The presence of live feeds became an integral part of everyday content regardless of distribution, OTA, OTT, or via social media on the web.

Live streaming is continually evolving as one of the main ways to share and receive realtime information. Brett Casadonte, President and Chief Technical Director, GlobeStream Media LLC talks about how live streaming is currently shaping the industry and its future impacts.

The rate of adoption of new media technologies varies across the globe, and Malaysia has traditionally been on the slower end of the spectrum. For example, it wasn’t until 6 years ago that the move from 35mm to Digital Cinema fully took hold.

At the 2016 NAB Show, from April 16 - 21 in Las Vegas, many companies eagerly displayed all kinds of new gadgets and technology, promising a very successful, game-changing year for the broadcast media industry. This show signaled how much technology is changing - and more so, how content consumers are planning to keep up.

The demand for live televised college sports has never been higher. From all of the biggest and best college football programs to sports that you may never have seen before, the heat is on to produce the type of high production quality that viewers expect. With colleges and conferences building their own networks, it's no wonder that crews are busier than ever. Where do we start?

By now, I hope you are figuring it all out. 2018 NAB is going to be too much of a good thing. Isn’t that great? There's just so much to see and hear about all of the new gear and the great people that make it all happen. For some of us, it' like being the kid in the candy store. But before I get carried away, let's get down to business.

Here’s a HUGE issue that my contemporaries and I see all too often. Productions just know that they “need a drone” and lump all UAV’s into the same category. Now pay attention class because this is important: What you need is a skilled and licensed pilot/company that has the correct camera/drone/team combination for your production.

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) announced that an estimated 40,000 industry professionals had accessed the inaugural NAB Show Express since the online event launched on May 13.

Happy Holidays! As you all know, there are more than a few ways to think about giving and receiving gifts for the holidays. First, there are the production gifts that we know people really need. It might be a new camera bag, a new light kit, or maybe even a new headset. Nobody is ever going to say “no” to the stuff they need. But you can see it on their face. Think of it as getting that new robe, new socks, or even better yet, the dreaded three pack of underwear. Maybe stuff you need, but not very high on your “Wow this is cool list."
