“Historically, people used to watch live TV muted, with their favourite commentator playing on the radio. “Our audience engagement has gone through the roof, giving us the confidence to do more live,” says Hackney. With graphics playing an essential part in telling a race’s story, this allows the production team to incorporate data-fed graphics on the stream using Singlular.live.

The HyperDeck Studio HD Plus feeds into the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO as a source via the ATEM Mini, freeing up an input and making it easier to swap out when live.Īn UltraStudio HD Mini capture and playback device facilitates key and fill graphics from a Mac Mini to the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. At the same time, the ATEM is ISO recording to an SSD, so that a show can be clipped and repurposed after the live stream for social media.Īll aspects of the studio workflow – from focusing the cameras, controlling mic levels and talkback, and triggering playback from a HyperDeck Studio HD Plus, to making camera cuts on the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO – can be operated from a control deck, or the ATEM Software Control. The streaming encoder on the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO is then used to push a programme to Restream for live distribution. The rack also houses a Behringer audio mixer and the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO, with an original ATEM Mini providing additional inputs. There are no big audio, lighting or video surfaces that require table space, with everything controlled over the network from a mouse, keyboard and control deck.”Īt the heart of everything is a broadcast rack that holds an Ethernet switch and wifi router to manage the internal broadcast network. Livestream consultant Alex Pettitt, from Alex.Live, says: “One key benefit of this build is that it has a small footprint and can be packed up and moved for external shoots and streams. Different looks are created for each show by loading custom LUTs on to the cameras. The cameras are used across multiple live and pre-recorded shows. With no camera operators and a two-person production team, simplicity and ease of use were key.
