One PTZ or DSLR camera, simple graphics overlay, single-platform RTMP delivery to Zoom Webinar, Teams, or YouTube. Producer plus one operator. Ideal for keynote-only formats and small panel events.
Wide, medium, and audience-camera coverage, ATEM Mini Extreme ISO switcher, lower-thirds and program graphics, dual-platform simulcast. Producer, technical director, and two operators. The conference and corporate standard.
Full broadcast coverage — handheld, fixed wide, two operator cameras, and a PTZ jib position. Tricaster TC2 Elite, full graphics package, replay, and multi-platform RTMP/SRT delivery. Producer-led crew of six. Keynote and concert broadcast tier.
Two or more stages, each with their own switcher fed into a master mixer, multi-language streams, dedicated graphics control, and a producer running the cut sheet across stages. Festival and conference-stage builds.
Switchers, encoders, cameras, and uplink — all stocked in LA and ready for same-week dispatch.
NewTek Tricaster TC2 Elite and TC410 Plus for IP-native multi-cam workflows with built-in encoding, NDI input/output, recording, and graphics. Blackmagic ATEM Mini Extreme ISO and ATEM 4 M/E Constellation for SDI-native rigs. We stock both because some riders are explicit about the switcher line.
Teradek Cube for compact H.264/H.265 encoding at the camera, Teradek Prism for higher-quality 4:2:2 broadcast contribution. LiveU LU800 for cellular bonded uplink — aggregates 4 to 8 cellular modems plus hardline into a single resilient stream. The LiveU is on standby for every show as the fallback if venue uplink dies mid-broadcast.
Sony PXW-FX9 and FX6 for multi-cam broadcast. Panasonic AK-UC4000 system cameras with full CCU control for fixed-position work. Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 for budget-tier multi-cam rigs. PTZ positions: Sony BRC-X400 and Panasonic AW-UE150 (4K PTZ). All cameras genlock to a shared reference signal for clean cuts.
Singular.live for cloud-rendered graphics with on-the-fly editing, vMix Replay for instant-replay positions, Restream and Switchboard Live for multi-platform simulcast routing. Live closed captioning via 1CaptionsLive or Ai-Media when accessibility is part of the brief.
Livestream production has a thousand failure points. We engineer for the show that runs without one.
Capture and switch. Cameras feed SDI or NDI to the switcher position at FOH or a dedicated broadcast position. Wide, medium, and operator cameras are typical for conference work. Add a jib or Steadicam for premiere and concert broadcast. The switcher (Tricaster TC2 Elite or ATEM 4 M/E Constellation) runs the program cut with redundant ISO record on every input — so if a single camera drops, we have its iso file for post.
Audio for stream. Stream audio comes from the FOH mixer's broadcast send, not a room mic — that gives broadcast-clean audio that doesn't include house ambient noise. We pull the broadcast send as an analog XLR pair or AES3 (or Dante if the venue audio network supports it), patch it into the switcher, and run a parallel embedded audio channel for the live encoder output. See the audio mixer page for the FOH side.
Encode and uplink. Switcher program out feeds two encoder paths in parallel — a primary (hardline-uplink RTMP or SRT) and a secondary (cellular bonded LiveU). Both encoders push to a media router (Restream, Switchboard, or our own cloud relay) that handles the platform splits. Each platform — YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, custom RTMP, Zoom Webinar via RTMP-in, Teams via SRT-in — encodes from the master output at its required bitrate.
Uplink redundancy. We test venue hardline bandwidth on truck day — most LA venues give us 50 to 500 Mbps fiber, which covers a 1080p stream comfortably. The LiveU LU800 cellular bond is always on standby aggregating 4-8 cellular modems plus the hardline. If hardline drops, the bond carries the stream. We also record locally to ProRes on the switcher's ISO outputs so even if both uplinks fail simultaneously, the show is archived for post.
Graphics and packaging. Lower-thirds, program logos, sponsor bugs, social tickers, and full-screen graphics ride on the switcher's keyer or run from Singular.live for cloud-rendered packages that can be edited mid-show. We pre-build the graphics package in the shop using the production team's deck and assets, and we run a virtual rehearsal before truck call.
Producer and crew. Every stream ships with a producer running the show file, a technical director on the switcher, camera operators per position, an audio operator for the broadcast mix, and a stream tech monitoring the encoder dashboard and platform health metrics through the entire window. Crew scales from three operators on single-cam webinar work up to nine on a five-camera broadcast.
We don't publish a rate card because two streams with the same camera count rarely cost the same. What drives the number: camera count and position complexity (PTZ vs. operator vs. jib), switcher tier, encoder and uplink scope (hardline vs. cellular bonded redundancy), graphics package depth, multi-platform delivery count, producer and crew call-time, closed captioning, and how much load-in lives inside our 24-hour window. Tell us what you're building and we'll come back with a number engineered to it.

Our LA dispatch covers every working venue from the harbor up through Pasadena — we know the venue uplink quality, broadcast-position locations, and union rules venue by venue.
A Fortune 500 keynote stream looks nothing like a music festival multi-cam broadcast — but both run on the same trucks.
Every stream ships with the LiveU LU800 on standby. If the venue hardline drops, the cellular bond carries the show without an audience interruption. Full service list.
Even if every uplink dies, we have the show recorded locally on the switcher's ISO outputs at ProRes 422. The archive lives whether the stream made it or not. How we work.

We start with the run-of-show — number of speakers, cameras needed for coverage, graphics and lower-thirds, audio sources, and the destination platforms (YouTube, Twitch, Zoom, Teams, custom RTMP, multi-platform simulcast). From there we map cameras to positions, build the switcher template, configure encoders for each destination, and confirm venue uplink bandwidth. The quote follows the show file.
NewTek Tricaster TC2 Elite and TC410 Plus for full IP-native switching with built-in encoding, NDI, and graphics. Blackmagic ATEM Mini Extreme ISO and ATEM 4 M/E Constellation for the BMD-shop riders. For pure encoding work we run Teradek Cube, Prism, and the LiveU LU800 cellular bonded encoders for venues without reliable hardline uplink. Multi-platform delivery handled through Restream or Switchboard Live.
For broadcast-grade work: Sony PXW-FX9 and FX6 multi-camera rigs, Panasonic AK-UC4000 system cameras for fixed positions with full CCU control, plus Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 for budget-tier multi-cam. For PTZ and remote positions: Sony BRC-X400 and Panasonic AW-UE150 (4K PTZ). All cameras genlock to a shared reference so the switcher can cut clean.
We start by testing the venue's hardline upload bandwidth — most LA venues give us 50-500 Mbps fiber, which covers a 1080p stream comfortably. For redundancy, we layer in LiveU LU800 cellular bonded encoders that aggregate 4-8 cellular modems plus the hardline into a single resilient stream. If the venue uplink dies mid-show, the cellular bond carries the stream without an audience interruption. We also record locally as ProRes backup on the switcher's ISO outputs.
Yes. Multi-platform simulcast is a standard build. RTMP feeds go to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and custom RTMP destinations through Restream or Switchboard. SRT feeds handle Zoom Webinar and Microsoft Teams (via the platform's RTMP-in or SRT-in gateway). Each platform encodes at its required bitrate from our master output. We also feed live closed captioning over the same encoder when the show requires accessibility compliance.
Same business day for any LA-area event with a known venue, date, camera count, and destination platforms. You'll have a real bid back the same day. Complex multi-cam broadcasts with full graphics packages and multi-platform delivery may need an extra 24 hours for the final show file, but a budget range lands same-day.
