Multi-camera Live Switching

Live video switching increases attention spans and improves the audience experience during your live event; such as conference, marketing presentations and awards nights, it also raises the standard for your live event presentation.

Live switching refers to using multiple cameras that are covering an event with a switching operator, the switching operator is viewing and directing the camera operators as to what he wants the cameras to show, the switching operator selects the appropriate shots from each camera and “switches” shots between the cameras (and screen graphics) in real time. This result can be projected live onto screens placed around the venue for you guests to see as it happens. This feed can also be streamed over the internet live and can be recorded for production and distribution purposes after the event.

Live Switching Multiview Screen, the cameras and graphics are mixed live at the event and displayed around the event centre live or for live broadcast

Live switching is a fantastic asset for any medium to large scale event; it makes it easy for your audience to become more involved with the presenter along with other on stage activities and other media such as titles, graphics and pre-recorded video, encompassing a complete perspective of your event.  This dramatically increases the attention span of your audience and also gets them more involved with the proceedings as they can see in detail the whole presentation, from all locations around the event centre. Live switching also adds the “wow factor” to any event by bringing up the overall presentation level of your business achieving a much more memorable and impressive result for clients and guests.

Live switching is perfect for corporate dinners and awards nights and product launches, in fact any medium to large live event will benefit.

The overall budget comparison of live switched video compared to post edited video is somewhat budget equivalent once the production is completed, live switching also has the advantage of a quicker distribution timeframe and the capability of live visual support at the event. Because the recorded live video is already switched, and in affect, is an edited version of the event, minimal post-production editing is required.
