Roland and Mobeon have teamed up to be the official streaming partners of Streaming Media and Streaming Live West conference currently taking place (November 17–19, 2014) at the Hyatt Huntington Beach.
The conference is the largest streaming and live production conference on the West Coast, offering the opportunity to learn about the latest online video technologies and new business strategies.
Mobeon, an interactive digital is responsible for producing and streaming three conference rooms plus the keynote address, while Roland has supplied a VR-50HD live AV production and streaming switcher for each seminar room.
The VR-50HD outputs up to1080p over USB 3.0, SDI and HMDI, which simplifies setup and increases the live production workflow for 47 seminars and discussion panels. This output will be fed to a computer running Wirecast as the encoder and then sent to USTREAM for streaming.
Mark Alamares, principal of Mobeon, selected the VR-50HD not only for its streaming capabilities but also the ability to record the live production simply by connecting it via USB 3.0 to a computer with capture software. Other reasons he cites include portability, ease-of-use, and quick setup.
The VR-50HD can handle multiple inputs with scaling, analog or digital, computer or video resolutions, plus mix audio. Alamares says, “It’s an all-inclusive streaming and live production system in one package.”
“This will be our third Streaming Media Conference in a row but the first time using the Roland VR-50HD. We’re excited to leverage the power and technology in such a compact box to produce the event this year,” he adds.
“The Streaming Media Conferences are great events to learn about and discuss streaming solutions. We are excited to be the official streaming partner along with Mobeon and to showcase the Roland VR-50HD in a live setting to streaming professionals”, says Rob Read, Roland marketing communications manager.
