Tech summit production in Los Angeles for software launches, developer conferences, AI summits, hardware reveals, and venture capital demo days at the Microsoft Theater, the YouTube Theater, downtown soundstages, and brand HQ venues.
Broadcast-quality multi-cam built for the live demo moment, redundant streaming pipelines, low-latency video routing for screen captures, and a show direction crew that knows the difference between a successful demo and a successful demo recovery.
The demo runs. The screen capture renders. The room holds.
A Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 4K routing the speaker laptop's HDMI or Thunderbolt output to the LED wall AND to the broadcast stream simultaneously with sub-150ms latency. The audience sees what the speaker sees. The stream sees what the speaker sees. No "switch to slide 4" voice cue that everyone heard.
So the demo lives. Not just describes itself.
Parallel encoding chains feeding two diverse-fiber ISPs. A 5-second buffer on the stream to absorb a failover. If one path drops, the audience never sees it. For tech-summit streams that have to read on a developer's second monitor while they code along, that buffer is the difference between trust and a tab close.
So the stream is the second product of the day.
Sony FX9 multi-cam with Ross Carbonite or Blackmagic ATEM Constellation switcher in the truck. Clean program, ISO record on every camera, a low-and-slow B-cam on the demo laptop hands for the moment the demo actually runs. The cut watches like a tech channel feed, not a webinar.
So the stream looks like a TechCrunch sit-down. Not a stage shoot.
Yamaha Rivage PM7 with separate house and broadcast mixes. Shure Axient Digital RF on the presenters. A separate audio pipe from the speaker laptop — for the demo's actual sound effects, chimes, and audio cues — so they read in both the room and the stream at the same level the product team designed them.
So when the demo makes a sound, the audience hears it twice — in the room and through the laptop speakers they're comparing against.

9 demos · LP streamThe same crew that runs a 9-company VC demo day at a private Hollywood venue runs a 2,400-person developer conference at the Microsoft Theater with 11 simultaneous breakout rooms. The variables change. The discipline does not. Live demo pipeline routed at sub-150ms. Redundant streaming on two ISPs. Multi-cam ISO record. Audio routed for both the room and the laptop speakers the demo was designed against.
Tech summit production in Los Angeles is the discipline of producing a moment where the technology is the talent and the demo is the story. The stage is engineered so the demo is more legible to the audience than it would be on the developer's home setup. The stream is engineered so the developer watching from their second monitor while they code along sees the moment the demo works. The cut is engineered so the screen capture is the hero shot, not the speaker's face.
For a 2,400-person developer conference at the Microsoft Theater with 11 simultaneous breakout sessions, that is typically a Yamaha Rivage PM7 in the main hall with a DiGiCo SD12 mirror in the breakouts, ROE Black Pearl BP2v2 LED on the main stage with custom Resolume content per session, Sony FX9 multi-cam at the main stage with smaller Blackmagic URSA rigs in every breakout, sub-150ms screen capture routing through a Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 4K, redundant SRT streaming to two diverse-fiber ISPs, and a stage manager calling the main stage on closed comms with breakout-room coordinators.
For a 9-company VC demo day at a private Hollywood venue with 5-minute pitches and 3-minute demos, the rig flexes to a single-stage tight-turnover format — a Yamaha QL5 console, a small ROE LED backdrop, three Sony FX6 cameras, sub-150ms screen capture from a shared demo MacBook, single direct cut to the LP stream. Same demo-pipeline discipline, smaller footprint, same low-latency standard.
The technology is the talent. The demo is the story. The audience knows what production-grade software looks like, because they build software. The stream is being watched by developers on their second monitor while they code along — they will notice if the screen capture is half a second behind the speaker's voice. The room is engineered so the demo is more legible than it would be on the developer's own home setup.
Pre-show: we rehearse the demo on the actual stage hardware at least once, ideally three times. We test every cable path, every screen-capture latency, every backup laptop. During the demo: a producer in the truck has access to the speaker's backup machine and a pre-recorded video of the demo running successfully — for instant cut-in if the live demo dies. The fail-over is invisible to the audience.
Sub-150 milliseconds end-to-end from speaker laptop HDMI to LED wall, and sub-200ms to the broadcast stream. We route screen capture through a Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 4K rather than a software solution because hardware switching is deterministic in a way software is not.
Yes. Main stage gets the full broadcast rig. Breakout rooms get smaller Sony FX6 or Blackmagic URSA rigs with ISO record, dedicated audio engineer per room, and a breakout coordinator on the main comms loop with the stage manager. ISO records from every breakout deliver to the brand's archive inside 24 hours alongside the main stage record.
Email hello@anydaylive.com with conference dates, venue or city, audience split (in-room vs stream), demo count and complexity, and a one-paragraph brief on the moment the conference has to land. We come back inside one business day with questions, a draft run-of-show, a draft scope, and the names of the people who will actually be in the truck.
Send the brief. We'll send back the stage — and the demo pipeline.
