Broadcast Engineering and Information Technology Conference Spotlights Value Of REMI Operations

During the Broadcast Engineering and Information Technology Conference (BEITC) at this year’s 2018 NAB Show, an all-industry seminar will look at the challenges and practical benefits of REMI (remote-integration model) operations.

With broadcasters tasked to do more with limited resources, several are choosing to make their studios operations a vital part of live remote productions. Implemented correctly, these “at-home” production strategies can help maximize the efficiency and utilization of resources (people and equipment) while reducing on-site set-up times.

The advantages of remote production are widely acknowledged across the industry, but what has been lacking is a focus to bring the at-home workflow to the next level by providing innovative audio-visual, networking and transport solutions.

The session, entitled, “Live AT0-Home Production 2.0” will be held on April 7th from 1:30PM - 2:50 PM (PST) in the North Hall Meeting Room N260 and feature presentations from key personnel at Calrec AudioGrass Valley and Net Insight—three companies intimately involved in designing technology and systems to support REMI infrastructures.

The presentation will provide a forum for each company to bring its specific industry experience to the discussion. Peter Walker, product manger at Calrec Audio, is highlighting the capabilities of remote audio production, Klaus Weber, senior product marketing manager at Grass Valley will speak about video and camera transmission, and Larissa Görner, Product Management at Net Insight will focus on signal transport.

All three companies are also holding at-home production demos live on the show floor at NAB 2018. Live demos will take place three times a day, with a production hub at the Grass Valley booth (booth SL106) providing live mixing for remote venues at the Net Insight booth (SU3821) and the Calrec booth (C7408).

Together, these three companies represent the main components of a remote production and will speak to the way each company’s state-of-the-art solutions provide better video, audio and transport workflows for at-home production. The main point is that by utilizing a complementary technology approach, broadcasters can equip themselves with a complete, proven and easy way to generate significantly more live content.

The advantages of remote production are widely acknowledged across the industry, but what has been lacking is a focus to bring the at-home workflow to the next level by providing innovative audio-visual, networking and transport solutions.
