Effectively, everyone has their own mic and camera, and I'm producing the show via vMix.įor the remote production work I've been doing, I use the setup shown below in Figure 1. Because that's what they are: Each person is speaking to an individual camera in front of them, and they have a headset mic, or they're using a desk mic. That lets me position them as I choose, with pictures-in-pictures, two or three across, or make them appear full screen as if they were individual cameras. Each caller comes into my control room, into my computer, as a separate source. Unlike Skype or Zoom, in vMix there's not a central hub that everybody is "calling" into. vMix is a PC-based app, that lets you build or buy the hardware you need to suit your level of production. It's a remote camera source coming across the internet. Vmix calls this feature vMix Call, but it's not a phone call. Tricaster, vMix, Wirecast, OBS, Mimo Live, Livestream Studio, etc.įor the remote productions I do for my clients, vMix is my tool of choice specifically because of its capability for bringing multiple remote guests into the production. For that you need to leave the business meeting apps behind, and go back to live video production tools.
You want to be able to add more production value and have more control of what is seen and heard.
Applications like Zoom Meeting and Zoom Webinar allow you to assemble a panel that presents to an audience, and an audience can ask questions, chat, and respond to polls, which is very useful.īut there are times when you want to produce show for a larger audience on Facebook or YouTube or via a private CDN. What they don't do on their own is allow you to create produced shows for a larger audience. Obviously, there are business conferencing solutions such as Zoom, Skype, WebEx, BlueJeans, and several others, which allow multiple people to come together and have discussions. There are lots of different ways to do this, and a number of different pieces of software offer ways to bring in remote callers. I capture them remotely from my own home studio using their camera, and they become part of my show. In this remote production era, our subjects are at home, or maybe they go into a small office by themselves. That's simply not possible as I write this. With my TriCaster kit, we deploy cameras in a room with hundreds of people and we produce live a show. I've used many kits for shoots where I bring my gear to a venue, set up, and do live production and streaming on-site. We are now in an age of remote production.
