I'm ready to get off the airplane. Who is producing sports and corporate events via an At Home workflow? I'd love to hear what works and doesn't. I read that recent Newtek article and I'm sold!

I'm currently looking into solutions for sending video and audio signals back home via LiveU & Medialooks. Then Unity Connect to tie things into our current Unity Server. Sounds soooo easy.... and yet I doubt it is!

I can also envision workflows where you ship the switcher/replay to the venue and then operate from home. I've done this now and then with Teamviewer, VNC... But it's always So-So.

Anyhow, I'd love to hear about your successes and war stories!

Until then I'll see you at the Airport, Hotel, or Venue!

Joe

I run everything that we do out of my studio in my basement with Vmix. We don't use LiveU, instead we use our own Teradek Bond 2's.

The workflow is as such. The Teradeks broadcast to their Core server. I grab the feeds at the studio and pull them into Vmix. We use VmixCall to push the Multiview to a remote booth (usually onsite, but sometimes remote in ANOTHER place). I have given the booth commentators the ability to add graphics remotely via the Vmix web controller and some port forwarding. Then I push the "finished product" out to YouTube.

I enjoy that I don't have to leave for weekends personally. It works out very well for our setup.

As you imply, remote control is always risky. Such tools invariably add significant load to the host computer. Also bandwidth requirements. If I were planning on such things I'd deliberately over-spec the PC by quite a margin.

I'd be inclined to limit the complexity of gear deployed in the field. That way you also limit the potential necessity for in-field diagnostics and troubleshooting

How do you grab the feeds and pull into vMix?

Using the TCP Pull from Teradek Core. Our broadcast currently has a max of 3 remote cameras and then a booth. Currently my system has a 1060 and an i7-4770k and when I do all of that and put on Replay plus recording it pushes my PC up into the 60-80% range.

Hi All,

Sorry to reply to an old thread - but this describes exactly what I am considering doing too.

Quick question - what end-to-end delay/latency do you experience from the camera to vMix (considering the signal needs to traverse camera -> Teradek Bond -> data network (e.g. 4G) -> Core -> data network -> vMix)?
