As Seen on FOX 11 - Last Minute Pivot Saves Broadcast
This is the story of COAF, the Children of Armenia Fund, an international NPO who recently planned an annual fundraiser hosted at a hillside mansion in Southern California. We received word just days before the scheduled broadcast that two of the three cast members had been exposed to COVID and were locked down in quarantine. With only 24 hours to spare, the entire event had to pivot to a virtual production with the key players beaming in remotely from the safety of their homes and offices. Yet, in spite of this disruption we quickly deployed all of our resources and expertise to provide for a quality broadcast experience for the cast and online audience. In the end, COAF exceeded their original fundraising goal of $350,000 with a whopping $540,000 final tally. Watch the video to see how we pulled it off!

Innovation | Engineering | Production
Remote Virtual Teleprompter – One of our recent innovations
When working with us, the first step is to develop a plan and workflow that fulfills your vision and budget. Innovation begins during the pre-production stage. Our Production Designer partners with you to craft an engaging Run Of Show based on the unique attributes of your organization and resources. Innovation then flows into Engineering, where we forge new virtual tool sets to assist your talent and audience. One recent example is our Remote Virtual Teleprompter. This invention allows our teleprompter operator to scroll the script from our Master Control Center, merging the text over the talent’s program feed. This preserves correct eyeline to the remote talent’s camera and eliminates the need for installation of expensive prompter screens at each location.
Webcast & Beyond Master Control for Remote Production
For Production we deploy assets where needed. We have all the necessary live streaming service equipment including 4K cameras, lighting, video switchers, streaming encoders, audio mixers, recorders, routers and redundant FAILSAFE components.
Add to the mix our master control television studio for pre and post editing, including live remote switching (aka REMI production). This includes graphics & titles, green screen compositing, color correction, voice-over recording, and sound mixing.
Fully Managed Service
Planning for Success – Custom Production Layout and Interconnect Schematic

Additionally, with our Failsafe stream protection process you get the peace of mind knowing that your live stream has the best safeguards in place against failure.
