Dream Multimedia Live Stream

[Favio Cassidy]

Ifyou missed my live stream a few weeks back here is an unedited YouTube live replay of my solo multimedia concert. The performance is a combination of live arrangement and live playing that features original electronic music with real-time visuals.

All the music and sound is from Elektron Analog Four MKI, Octatrack MKII, and Digitone. The machines are not synced. I mostly play directly from the machines, but also play notes on the Analog Four via the Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 keyboard and on the Digitone via the Launchpad Pro MK3 grid. I also use the Launchkey Mini MK3 along with a Logidy UM3 pedal to control Resolume Arena 7 in real-time. Visual sources are from live camera input and other various sources.

My streaming equivalent of this is to us a big screen right in front of me and perform with reference monitors at near concert volumes. Performing this way is much closer to performing on stage in front of an audience which puts more positive energy into the performance.

The machines are not synced and are not connected via MIDI. This allows for complete freedom to do live arrangement, change my set list on-the-fly. I might have corresponding patterns with matching tempos across machines but I select them and trigger them on-the-fly so I can play around with the pocket, tap tempo to shift or even change tempos or free-form play to add more tension.

Dream Street Productions in Connecticut, USA, was founded by Scott Braun 20 years ago as a corporate A/V company. Since then it has grown into a video production and post production studio that live streams virtual events, with corporate clients ranging from telecommunications to pharmaceuticals to major American technology companies.

With a background in television production and newsroom broadcasting in the New York City market, Scott and has made efforts to continuously adapt to the production industry as it evolves. He attributes two decades in the industry and steady growth to maintaining flexibility both in how he thinks about the business and the tools he works with.

"A flexible attitude allows me to meet the demands of any project. If I don't know how to do something a client asks for, I learn it until I can deliver," he said. "On the equipment side, my workflow is largely backed by Blackmagic Design products, and their tools support nearly any job or request that comes my way.

"For example, at a recent town hall event, the client wanted the camera ISOs recorded so they could cut down the event on their own from the camera masters versus the program master. I love that the ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO has that feature as one of its recording options, rather than having to stick cards in cameras, feed in timecodes to sync them all and so on."

"I don't even have to record in-camera unless the client is asking for that specifically," Scott said. "For most clients, recording to HyperDecks is more than adequate. With that approach, the ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO's media management becomes very easy. Anything that goes into the ATEM is recorded and gets put into a folder, which we just hand off to the client at the end of the show."

Dream Street chose URSA Broadcast G2 cameras, mainly for the efficiency they would bring to the workflows. "We only need two SDI cables to and from the camera, but still have the features we would need with high end fibre system, like camera control, talkback, tally and others," he said. "Colour control, painting and matching cameras is fast and easy. Plus, with the B4 lens mount, you can use nearly any broadcast lens we want, including big box lenses.

The URSA Broadcast G2 is not only affordable to own, but the firmware support and upgrade paths continuously add more functionally to the camera. Above all, the fact that everything, including the cameras, ties together into one complete system is why Dream Street is heavily invested in Blackmagic gear."

"When virtual events took over, clients began requesting more bells and whistles, and my productions began to get busier," he said. "They wanted them to look more and more like what they were seeing on TV at that time, which was a customised SuperSource background with multiple windows flying in and out. I discovered that the ATEM Mini did all of that and more, and I gained a real understanding of what Blackmagic devices are capable of."

Over time, Scott has noted that corporate shows are a bit different from the traditional broadcast environment. But Blackmagic Design's products have continued to align well with his business. For example, he works closely with clients in pre production to learn exactly what each one wants for its speakers. He can then build macros to match those expectations so that when he arrives on site, he is ready for rehearsal and there are no surprises.

"We are ready for it, it's all pre-planned and the macros are pre-built," he said. "If I have to go in and make some minor adjustments, it's just a matter of recording that one macro again and not rebuilding the entire show. Having the ability to save and restore those sessions for each event has been a lifesaver.

I can build a master profile for that client, depending on what type of show it is, and then if we're redoing the show next year, I'll have saved myself three days' worth of pre production. I can reload or restore that show and just tweak it based on the needs for the current event, saving a huge amount of time." www.blackmagicdesign.com

For every location, the livestream can be accessed on its respective information page. The livestream will become available as the event in each city begins. Please note that not every city may have a livestream. Additionally, we cannot provide advance information regarding the availability, reliability, or quality of the livestreams in each city. Support for live streaming services is not offered.

As a video enthusiast, I was particularly thrilled about the video enhancements. We implemented a Black Magic Studio 6K camera setup, paired with a Cannon 70-200 syn servo lens, creating a mid-level broadcast follow cam setup. The Manfrotto MVH 502A tripod with a 546B mid spreader provided the necessary stability and fluidity for the camera operations.

The Black Magic Design Studio 6K Pro camera was a game-changer for Living Word Church. Its built-in features, such as the large LCD monitor, customizable function buttons, and integrated SDI out, made it an ideal choice for a follow cam setup.

The Canon 70-200 syn servo lens, with its professional optics, proved to be a perfect match for the Black Magic camera. It delivered exceptional image quality, as evident from the test footage we captured during our visit.

Back in the video booth, the setup was straightforward yet effective. We used a Mac Mini to run the ATEM control software, integrated with a BoxCaster Pro encoder for live streaming. The ATEM Constellation 2 ME switcher was key for managing both the live stream and in-room displays.

Streaming media refers to multimedia for playback using an offline or online media player that is delivered through a network. Media is transferred in a "stream" of packets from a server to a client and is rendered in real-time;[1] this contrasts with file downloading, a process in which the end-user obtains an entire media file before consuming the content. Streaming is presently most prevalent in video-on-demand, streaming television, and music streaming services over the Internet.

While streaming is most commonly associated with multimedia from a remote server over the Internet, it also includes offline multimedia between devices on a local area network, for example using DLNA[2] and a home server, or in a personal area network between two devices using Bluetooth (which uses radio waves rather than IP).[3] Online streaming was initially popularised by RealNetworks and Microsoft in the 1990s[4] and has since grown to become the globally most popular method for consuming music and video,[5] with numerous competing subscription services being offered since the 2010s.[6] Audio streaming to wireless speakers, often using Bluetooth, is another use that has become prevalent during that decade.[7] Live streaming is the real-time delivery of content during production, much as live television broadcasts content via television channels.[8]

Distinguishing delivery methods from the media applies specifically to, as most of the traditional media delivery systems are either inherently streaming (e.g., radio, television) or inherently non-streaming (e.g., books, videotapes, audio CDs). The term "streaming media" can apply to media other than video and audio, such as live closed captioning, ticker tape, and real-time text, which are all considered "streaming text".
