Live streaming production and townhall events
By Niklaus Baer

Is your company planning a virtual event, but you don't want to rent an expensive production studio? Are your speakers located all over the world, and flying them in would blow your budget? Remote productions offers a flexible and professional solution to this problem.

What exactly is remote production?

Remote production means that a central control room brings together experts from around the world via video call. Speakers are directly involved in the production and enjoy all the benefits of a studio production: presentations, chats, Q&A functions, video clips, interpreting services, and live subtitles.

Advantages of remote productions

Cost efficiency 
By eliminating studio rentals and temporary broadcast setups, remote productions offer a cost-effective alternative. 
 
Flexibility 
Remote productions make it possible to flexibly integrate the entire scope of a studio production. This production method is particularly advantageous for hybrid events and global town hall meetings.
 
Time efficiency 
Speakers can dial in directly from their location, without travel time. This not only saves time, but also increases the flexibility of your livestreaming production.
 
Interaction 
Despite the physical distance, participants can actively engage through various interaction options such as chat, Q&A, networking, or live streaming. 
 
Sustainability 
Avoiding business trips and transporting production materials significantly reduces the ecological footprint and contributes to sustainability. 

Our customers' experiences

We have already carried out several successful remote productions for the global energy group Axpo, connecting up to ten international speakers. Our central control room in Zurich mixes the signals and takes control of the image and sound, as well as the integration of presentations, captions, videos, and surveys.
