Last week we had an interesting gig with a conference in São Paulo, Brazil. A speaker from Ann Arbor was unable to attend in person, so we provided remote contribution with a ‘hologram’ type effect for the speaker to appear on stage and have a live conversation with the moderator. Hopefully we’ll get a few photos from the team in Brazil to post as the result was pretty neat.

A little creative problem solving for the holidays - our broadcast of Detroit Opera's performance of Aida required some custom mic mounts. Unlike the other shows we have been working on, this one was 'in concert' with singers standing at the lip of the stage.

We already had DPA 4099s in stock - instrument mics, but would work to add a little close vocal sound in a pinch and in-budget (especially versus renting the equivalent DPA or Schoeps version - $$$$).

A couple trips to Maker Works and a shipment or two from McMaster-Carr, and 6 custom microphone mounts were born! And they worked and sounded great.

Efficiency setting up equipment allows for more focus on the creative! Last year everything in the green Nanuk was mounted on a piece of plywood to test a workflow. With a custom aluminum panel, d-series connectors, and plenty of zip ties, it’s just a couple connections away from being ready to switch, stream, and record up to 4 cameras with graphic overlays and transitions!

I'm really happy with the product that we were able to deliver in collaboration with Sly Pup Productions and the Ann Arbor Summer Festival: Top of the Park 2021. A2SF commissioned NYC-based theater company Theater in Quarantine to create a piece featuring Michigan artist Ki5 Loops. From the UMMA: University of Michigan Museum of Art we sent two live camera feeds and an audio feed to TiQ's production in NYC, where it was combined with their own live performance and then sent to Youtube for the audience to view. Check out the full case study here: https://www.onairelements.com/a2sf-tiq-case-study

I hope everyone is doing well, staying safe, and having as best an end to 2020 as possible! Earlier this week, On-Air Elements provided mobile streaming services for a holiday concert. The local NBC affiliate was already switching the concert for broadcast at a later date, so we ingested their program and inserted sponsor videos prior to the concert and piece introductions and lower thirds during the show. Our dual-SIM cellular uplink bonded with the house internet ensured a speedy and reliable connection for the viewers!

Why live switch something when there is no live stream? With our small streaming kit, you can capture 4 cameras up to 1080p60 PLUS a switched program AND an XML file for importing into an NLE. That means the edit is already 90% done when media is imported; just watch the concert through once and tweak the edit points if needed. And you get a quality audio reference track from the main pair of mics to sync up the final mastered track.

On-Air Elements partnered with Sly Pup Productions to provide a 4K record and HD stream for an outdoor graduation ceremony. Cameras were set up early in the morning before the ceremony and ran unattended on battery, with video running 400' to the streaming system to keep our staff well distanced from students and the small number of guests. Our stream allowed 400+ families to celebrate their graduate's accomplishments even though they couldn't attend in person.

5 Cameras ☑️
500' 4-strand fiber transport with redundant power☑️
Live Graphic Overlays☑️
Cellular + Ethernet Bonded Encoding ☑️
Audio Mixing ☑️

On-Air Elements partnered with Sly Pup Productions to provide a three-camera capture and switched stream last night for Concert 4a Cause, using bonded encoding with our Teradek Vidiu Go to reinforce the venue's internet. The stream normally would have been limited to SD but the added bandwidth allowed us to bump up to a full HD broadcast distributed simultaneously to YouTube and Facebook streaming platforms.
