Zoom and Teams:
One of the key points in this show was a series of potential layouts for Zoom and Teams, and what we hope they will role out shortly, based on the needs of those streaming with these applications.
Check out some diagrams of these potential layouts below:
- Ability to Pin Participants to a Specific Box in a 4, 6, 9, 12, 16 or 25 Box Layout
- Ability to Spotlight 2,3 or 4 participants then show rest in gallery
-
Ability to create a screen with a featured presenter, 2nd presenter or presentation, and gallery
- Ability to split screen in presentation mode
Remote Cloud Workflows
There are a variety of applications we are expecting to make great strides in 2021 in the remote cloud live production workflow realm. They include:
- BirdDog Cloud
- REMI in Live Production
- Workflows with the SimplyLive ViBox (used by ESPN in live sports television broadcasting)
Our Wishlist for Post Production Workflows Includes:
- Use NDI Decode to share your timeline with anyone on your network so you do not have to be in the same room
- Share timelines & media elements remotely
- Use cloud storage for additional assets & sharing
- Continue work on the project from anywhere
NDI and SRT- A Winning Combination
NDI and SRT are a winning conversation for remote workflows, and when they are combined they make for a bulletproof solution. We played a great clip of George Herbert, walking us through this concept on a show we produced last year!
Sports Production:
Live Sports production is on its way back, and because of limitted capacity, production will be severely different. Luckily, companies like NewTek, SimplyLive and Pixellot are paving the way for the new age of live sports coverage.
5G Roll Out... Will this be the year?
Check out our rundown for the current status of 5G.
Affordable Products:
In 2021 we are hoping to see major updates and improvements made to affordable products, to help update the way you stream. Some products we believe you should have your eye on are:
