How Teradek Live Streamed the Pulse of a Music Festival
By Jamie G
Live event venue, The Las Vegas Festival Grounds fits up to 80,000 attendees and spans nearly 40 acres, which opens up challenges to to live streaming. BC Live Productions faced this challenge when they were tasked with delivering high quality, reliable Program feeds via live video encoders from three different stages for a music festival at The Las Vegas Festival Grounds.
BC Live Productions goal was to transmit feeds seamlessley across diverse locations for monitoring. The goal was feeds from three different stages into feeds to local production offices, artist trailers and private event spaces, LED towers around the venue and off-site monitoring.
BC Live Production used Teradek Prism Flex Encoders at each stage’s control room and managed all transmission destinations using Teradek’s on-premise and cloud orchestration platform: Core. The Prisim Flex Encoder can encode or decode up to 4Kp60 video with stunning 10-bit 4:2:2 image fidelity. The Prism platform supports many common streaming protocols such as TRT, SRT, MPEG-TS, RTSP/ RTP and RTMP(S), and can be connected to Teradek’s Core Cloud platform for even more flexibility.
BC Live Production used a AppleTV4K decoder, running the free Core TV App. These were placed at each Production station across the venue, and allowed the viewer to easily select which stage to monitor.
“In a remarkable display of technical expertise, BC Live Productions executed a flawless transmission of Program signals across diverse stages, powered by Teradek’s Prism and Core solutions. From ensuring seamless mixing on the LED Tower displays, to the secure and streamlined monitoring solutions in Core Workspaces for stakeholders — BC Live successfully delivered an efficient and top-tier production experience, instilling confidence among show technicians and allowing everyone to concentrate on the captivating performances unfolding on stage.”
