Customer: Catholic Faith Network (CFN)

Project: Shoot, produce, and deliver multiple high-quality live productions every day – from daily masses to studio shoots and remote productions – from multiple locations in and around New York City.

Results: With so much at stake, CFN relies heavily on its two Broadcast Pix MX Systems and two FX Systems, as well as Remote Commander. Utilizing the Remote Commander means worship services or programs being produced by CFN with their MX or FX Systems can be controlled and switched remotely from anywhere.

Josh Nemley, CFN’s lead engineer, had nothing but praise for Broadcast Pix and its Remote Commander. “If it wasn’t for the Remote Commander, we’d have a tough time trying to deliver our masses remotely as we do. We use the Broadcast Pix Remote Commander every morning at St. Agnes Cathedral. That’s how we are recording our masses. We have a direct fiber feed from St. Agnes Cathedral for video where the switcher is located. We have operators back at our studio in Uniondale that will switch the live mass via Remote Commander.”

Nemley adds, “Remote Commander is very crucial for the switcher, [which] is used more remotely than someone in-person. We usually have one person onsite for special masses as well as the masses every Sunday. But more often than not, the switcher is fully controlled by the Remote Commander.”

Project: Building a studio at SUNY Cobleskill for the next generation

Results: One of the most important aspects of any training setup is that it provides relevant experience for students on industry-standard equipment. For the broadcast industry that can be a problem. Not only is technology in the industry moving at a rapid pace, but the educational institutes that handle an increasing amount of training nowadays aren’t always as well-resourced as they wish to be.

The result is sometimes students learning how to run, for example, a studio set up on out-of-date equipment; which is exactly the scenario that confronted Douglas Flanagan when he started a new role as Assistant Professor, Communication at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Cobleskill.

“When I walked into the studio on my interview tour, I was greeted with an old analog switcher, three analog cameras, analog audio, no teleprompters… It was all obviously going to need a bit of help,” he says.

Luckily, Flanagan had already overseen a digital transition project at his previous employer and had specified a Broadcast Pix FX integrated production system for use in a project that was never realized. So, when soon after he joined the faculty at SUNY Cobleskill, he was told they were holding a fundraiser for video studio improvements, he knew exactly what he was looking for.

The Broadcast Pix system was supplied by ComTech in Melville, NY, and encompasses BPswitch live broadcasting and streaming software, a FX10 10-input server, and a 1000 (1 M/E) hardware control panel. Other studio improvements included a new multi-purpose studio set system from Uniset, new teleprompters, a multichannel audio mixer, and the New York State Lottery donated three Ikegami studio cameras with accompanying Vinten pedestals.

Flanagan says that he has always felt that his job is to try and get a student ready for their first job, and the flexibility of the Broadcast Pix system perfectly supports that ethos.

“One of the great things about this is that students can go into the industry knowing that they’ve learned their trade on a professional system,” he says. “The system is also very malleable. We can do a traditional full-fledged studio production with a typical full student crew of individuals running the studio cameras, a floor director, audio, graphics and TD — it has the flexibility to let us do that. Plus, who knew that we would also need to explore the ability to do things with maybe just one or two people due to social distancing. Luckily, with solutions like the FX system you can pull off with two or three people what it took 10 people to do 10 years ago.”

Customer: HvA Campus Creators, Hogeschool van Amsterdam

Project: Create a professional yet easy-to-run campus radio station

Results: In the summer of 2019, work was done to upgrade the HvA radio studios and Central Devices Room into a state-of-art facility. The goal was to create a studio that was visually appealing, easy to operate by their students and most importantly would deliver great sounding visual radio. The studio project was designed and installed by RedBeeMedia, Burst Video, Dekker Media and AQS in time for the fall semester. The students of HvA Campus Creators started broadcasting their 2-hour daily shows on SALTO 1 and Radio SALTO on September 9, 2019.

A Broadcast Pix BPswitch FX integrated production system was chosen to power the automated audio-follow-video production workflow of the station with an 8-input VOX and wall mounted Panasonic PTZ cameras.

“The reason why we picked Broadcast Pix is because we are working with students and we need systems that are easy to understand,” explained Mike van der Meulen, HvA Campus Creators. “Without a lot of training, our students can create professional looking visual radio shows.”

Today the Amsterdam campus radio station is producing great content from their student-run crew. Their shows provide students with news, weather and other information updates combined with a hot, contemporary playlist.

Customer: St. Luke’s Cathedral of Portland, ME

Project: Provide live streaming of worship services

Results: If you’re looking for a control room, you’re not going to find one at the historic St. Luke’s Cathedral. The only evidence of video production in this Episcopal church is a compact Sony SRG-300SE robotic PTZ camera mounted on the back wall – though you might also spot Jack Swanton, co-founder of Broadcast Pix, in a pew controlling the production from a tablet while attending the service.

live streaming of worship services With Broadcast Pix Commander, the touchscreen control platform that’s part of the BPswitch broadcast and streaming software toolset, Swanton or another church volunteer can control the camera, add graphics, and more from inside the church or across the country.

St. Luke’s has streamed more than 300 services, as well as ceremonies and other activities, since it began live webcasts in September 2015. The setup is relatively simple. The Sony camera, which receives an audio feed from the church’s sound system, streams the signal via IP to a Broadcast Pix integrated production system installed at Broadcast Pix headquarters in Chelmsford, MA. From there, the service is streamed live to the church’s website.

“Any volunteer with an hour of instruction can stream the service,” Swanton said. “The trick is to make it look like you’re present at the service.”

Swanton has programmed a number of Media Aware Macros that position the camera, display graphics, and control the streaming from either a phone or tablet. One macro keeps the production on schedule even when there is no volunteer available. He pushes the button exactly one hour before the service begins – the system starts to stream a few minutes before the service begins, follows the choir procession from the back to the front of the church, and locks down a semi-wide shot of the altar for the rest of the service. After 90 minutes, a credit screen is shown and the stream shuts down.

“There are a lot of folks who could do what we’re doing,” Swanton explained. “This is not a megachurch setup. That’s a very different application. This is for streaming services for people who aren’t present, or for people who want to hear the sermon again.”

Project: Council chambers refresh featuring a Mica 1000 integrated production switcher

Integrator: Encore Broadcast Solutions in Tampa

Results: The new Mica system “has been a big success for the city,” said Richard Calkins, technology director for Fort Myers. CFM-TV covers up to 30 meetings per month in the chambers, between the city council and various advisory boards, and production is usually handled by one employee.

John Downey, IT network technician, said viewer reactions have been very positive. “It looks a lot better,” Downey added. “People have definitely noticed the difference.”

Although CFM-TV has a traditional control panel, meetings are often switched using a keyboard and mouse. Downey, who said CFM-TV is “just scratching the surface” of the Mica’s capabilities, praised the Mica’s customizable multi-view and the choice of control surfaces.

In addition to a new ELMO document camera, there are five Sony PTZ cameras installed in the chambers. Three cameras are positioned at the back of the room for coverage of the seven council members on the dais. The fourth provides a view of the podium from the front of the room for citizen comments, while the fifth provides coverage of the city manager and city attorney. The Mica also receives a feed from a PC input at the podium for PowerPoint presentations.

The Mica replaced aging Datavideo and Compix hardware, which helped reduce the amount of equipment in the small CFM-TV control room next to the council chambers at City Hall. Upgrades also included closed captioning systems for its Comcast channel and live web feed, new cameras and microphones in the chambers, and an HD feed for the web.

The City of Mankato, Minn., upgraded to HD production for its city council and school district meetings a new Broadcast Pix BPswitch integrated production switcher.

Customer: City of Mankato, MN

Project: Upgrade to HD production for city council and school district meetings with BPswitch FX integrated production switcher

Integrator: Video Services, Inc. in Mankato

Results: The new system has simplified the production workflow and improved the quality of meeting coverage, which is available locally on public access channel KTV and streamed live on the city’s website. The meetings are recorded to the BPswitch for archive while the system simultaneously outputs a live stream for the web.

Instead of a traditional control panel, Mankato uses the Broadcast Pix Commander touchscreen interface. Designed for non-technical personnel, Commander offers intuitive controls to simplify switching, camera control, and the use of graphics, clips, and graphics. The personnel responsible for Mankato’s meeting coverage are not video professionals, but they are able to produce high-quality meeting coverage by using the touchscreens. Presets are used to follow the action, but the cameras can be adjusted on the fly to fix headroom or other issues.

“We’re finding it so much faster using the touchscreen,” said Christine Buller, computer and network administrator explained. “It’s so intuitive. It’s amazing – it’s just really smooth in how it works.”

About five years ago, the Mankato City Council and Mankato Area Public School Board were moved to new chambers, but most of the old video equipment was transferred to the new space. As a result, the city had three aging SD cameras in its council chambers and outdated hardware housed across the control room workspace. Now, there are three HD PTZ cameras, which are controlled through the Broadcast Pix, and the control room workspace only houses a keyboard, mouse, and two touchscreens. “It’s just so seamless, that’s what I like about it,” added Buller.
