Cloud production for live broadcasting without a production truck: the six jobs a browser-based tool must cover, how field video reaches the cloud, and where traditional equipment still applies.
A production truck switches cameras, mixes audio, adds graphics, runs instant replay, brings in remote guests, and sends the finished program out. A cloud production tool can take over those six jobs from a single browser screen with one operator, and the vehicle, crew, transport, and satellite or fiber booking leave the event budget.
The field connection decides the result. A lean crew at InfoComm produced more than 20 live spots from a convention center with tens of thousands of people, using cloud mixing and a bonded 5G cellular field unit, according to LiveU's published case study.
Cloud production does not replace a truck at every event. ITV technical producer Leon Langdale said ITV still relies on traditional equipment for much of its workflow and wants to expand into cloud-based production, according to Advanced Television.
LiveU Studio is LiveU's cloud-native production service. LiveU lists up to 8 remote guests, up to 30 distribution destinations on the Pro and Elite packages, usage-based pricing, and a free two-week trial.
