The brief
A world-leading camera manufacturer asked us to capture the premiere launch of a new product and broadcast it live through its social media channels, then provide a compressed recording after the broadcast.
The solution
We streamed the launch from the brand's flagship London store to its YouTube channel. Three Sony 4K cameras with a wireless camera link, Blackmagic and Roland vision switchers, chroma overlay and live graphics gave the broadcast a premium look worthy of the product. A 300Mbps up/down link through the venue and dual streaming laptops with full redundancy kept the stream rock solid.
The advantages
- A worldwide audience of experts and fans could watch the launch live.
- Stronger brand awareness at the moment of launch.
- Playback and ongoing publicity for the product after the event.
The result
The launch reached more than 46,000 viewers, with lots of live interaction in the YouTube comments throughout. Find out more about live event streaming.
