“Our experiences with LiveU’s technology gave us the confidence to put on a live show this year that would normally be way too ambitious for our relatively small team. We managed to cover every square inch of our huge conference without a hitch. We could easily adapt on the fly when we needed to, and the at-home-production technology allowed us to run this massive operation without needing a huge booth on the conference floor. Because LiveU’s technology is so reliable and easy to use, I can simply focus on putting on an amazing show, without having to worry about all the technical details.”

Innovation everywhere with the possibility of the next big thing being revealed at any moment!
"On this production, we had to switch between three stages, all creating independent content and running their own schedules, as well as four cameras in the field doing a variety of cool things like chilling on a Ferris wheel," said Floris Porro, Technical Producer, Co-Founder, Stream My Event. "We used an LU2000 server and four LU200s for the camera feeds, each unit using four SIM cards with latency as low as 1.5 seconds. We were pulling all feeds into our Amsterdam cloud control room, where we added pre-recorded segments and bumpers. We switched with a Blackmagic 2 M/E switcher and tied everything together using Bitfocus Companion. I think this method of production is the future for us. The cost of cellular data is far outweighed by the reduced cost of personnel and equipment on-site.”
Streamed live across the two-day gathering on the TNW website and across social media channels, we brought the real flavor of the expanding tech festival to viewers with camera crews in so many spots − even from the Ferris wheel! Keynote presentations, interviews and ad-hoc conversations with visitors were conducted by TWN’s team of roving reporters and extras like reviews of the food in the food court, all moderated by two TNW anchors.
At the heart of the production was LiveU’s wireless at-home solution, allowing Stream My Event, to use its centralized studio control room in the Netherlands to receive and switch between different live feeds, add graphic overlays and distribute the signal globally, reducing costs and increasing flexibility. Using LiveU’s Precision Timing™ technology, we ensured precise end-to-end delay and automatic multi-camera sync.
“Following us all working together at IBC in 2012, all three companies went through an amazing development, so each year the combination of sponsorship and partnership needed to be re-established. That can be hard sometimes, especially with three companies that always strive to do the next cool thing; we simply don’t like doing the same thing each year. We had to find a creative solution to keep everyone involved happy, which led to LiveU providing Stream My Event with hardware to keep so we could lower production costs, its wireless-at-home technology for this festival and TNW got what they wanted: a beautifully curated live stream with only the best content.”
