About the Project

Challenges & Solution

Blair put their trust in Skynine to livestream their commencement ceremonies in the post-COVID world. Their expectations were very straightforward – to be simple and clean, a style all too familiar with the Skynine crew. The livestream didn’t require anything complex but the demand for high quality video was high.

We provided a small FlexPack (flypack) system along with three cameras and a simple and sleek broadcast package for graphic overlays. The FlexPack included a mount routing and switching hub rack, a switched panel rack, a multi monitor rack, and an ATEM mini kit for backup.  With everything internally wired within the rack, the only thing needed to plug-in onsite were power, the 3 camera feeds, and the internet connection.

The broadcast package included standby slides, “in case of emergency” slides, and animated lower thirds. Everything was custom designed in After Effects and loaded into a media player within the FlexPack. These graphics were made in the weeks prior to the event and approved by Blair using our interactive proofing interface.

We deployed the entire setup in about an hour thanks to the efficiency of our FlexPack and tactical fiber systems. The two main camera lines ran the long “scenic” route to best avoid tripping hazards in the grass.  The result was a cable run in excess of 250 feet. This took minutes due to our multi strand tactical fiber reel whose girth is much less than a standard microphone cable. This fiber provided video transport, talkback and tally for each camera operator. Talkback and tally were crucial for the success of Blair’s graduation which is why it is a standard feature on all of our live multi-camera productions.
