Focus Groups Have A New Way of Market Research with Cube Point-to-Point Streaming

Focus groups are used by companies & organizations to obtain consumer opinions on varying subjects, and typically consist of participants sitting behind a one-way mirror as researchers study their reactions like something out of a TV drama. The participants are asked a series of questions in a room, completely unknowing of who’s behind that dark, enigmatic glass window.

“Clients will contact us and say that they need 20 people from New Orleans of varying ages,” says Christopher Cantrall, CEO of Nola Perspectives. “So we set them up with the right participants, provide the facility and allow them to get the market data they need.”

An Alternative Perspective

But Nola Perspectives likes to do do things a little differently. Founded by Christopher Cantrall & Casey Mintzer in 2017, Nola Perspectives handles all of the research & recruitment when it comes to finding the right people for their clients needs, and provides a central facility for the studies to be conducted. Except instead of watching from behind a one-way mirror, their clients enjoy the view from a completely different room.

“The reason we do this is because of our shared office space. We have our focus group room on the 1st floor, and our viewing room on the 4th floor,” said Cantrall. “But by doing a high-definition stream from one room to another via a LAN connection, we can achieve results as accurate as any other facility!”

Point-to-Point Setup

So how do they send the video? Using a point-to-point video-over-IP stream. In the focus room is a GoPro Hero 6 mounted to a tripod, sending video to a Teradek Cube 655 encoder.

From the Cube, Cantrall has the live video feed streamed directly to his Core account. Core is Teradek’s cloud-based stream management platform that allows for optimized control of video streams, including multi-destination distribution, remote configuring, monitoring, and in this case, hassle-free pairing to decoder devices.

From Core, the feed is sent directly to the Cube decoder and streamed on the viewing room’s 2 HDTVs. Audio is also brought in via the same route. The video is sent in 1080p30 to capture every detail of the participants.

Simple and Effective

For Cantrall, the Cube + Core end-to-end solution gives him 3 advantages that are critical to his business. The first is allowing his clients to observe the participants on video.

“At times, I’d have 10 people in the viewing room at the same time. They need to be able to watch the study closely, and since we’re watching from TVs, we want the quality to be top-notch.”

Second is recording. Market research groups always require video recordings for later study, so Cantrall records the stream on both Cube and in Core. The in-cloud recording gives him not only a backup stream for extra security, but also easy access to the stream from anywhere with an Internet connection.

Third is maintaining a low profile in the study room.

“People are more honest in front of a camera than a one-way mirror,” explains Cantrall. “Cameras are less intimidating and creates a more relaxing environment for the participants, which gets a more authentic experience for our clients. The small form factor of the Cube makes it easy to do a stream from the study room to the viewing room without having tons of obvious equipment in plain sight.”

But the most important benefit is the confidence it gives Cantrall and his startup business. When big clients trust Nola Perspectives to get the job done, it’s essential that Cantrall can trust his tech to perform. Cube has been a key instrument in helping develop his company.

As they look to upgrade to a larger facility, Cube point-to-point streaming will continue to be a staple of their business strategy.

“For me, it’s all about the reliability. I want to be fully confident that the signal will go through from one office to another without having to worry about adjusting settings every time we start. I can just turn on the Cube and rest assured that it will work every time.”

The online coverage of this year’s New Years Eve festivities had to compete for wireless spectrum with other broadcast groups….

…The Live X team used three ENG cameras each equipped with a Teradek Cube 655 encoder and a Silvus StreamCaster transmitter feeding a Cube decoder located onboard Live X’s HD production truck. They secured a reliable feed by using an underground fiber circuit to the company’s master control facility in the Hudson Yards section of NYC before final distribution via a dedicated Verizon Fios line. They also had a second Fios line as a backup.

While Live X had its own stage with cameras, the roaming cameras helped capture on-screen host Jonathan Bennett as he interviewed revelers and captured general audience B-roll footage for insertion into the program as needed.

The Silvus StreamCaster is a military-grade variable bitrate transmitter that can transport audio and video at up to 100Mbps to receivers up to eight blocks away. This was paired with Teradek’s Cube 655, a real-time, scalable video encoder for point-to-point video transport. Once the Cube encoded the video into the MPEG-TS (transport stream) format, the StreamCaster transmitted it via a 5.2Ghz link using multiple range extenders back to the broadcast truck. A Cisco switch on the truck received the data and sent it to a Cube decoder, which decoded the video and pushed it to the switcher. The final video was then sent to Live X’s master control room in the Hudson Yards….[continue reading]

SALES TIPS

1. Compared to the older generation Cube 100 & 200 series, the 600 and 700 offer superior encoding performance, up to 3x the boot up speed, better WiFi range and reliability, and dual inputs so you never need to worry about choosing between an HDMI or 3G-SDI video source.

2. Cube 655 and 755 offer built-in network bonding, allowing you to aggregate bandwidth from WiFi (hotspot), Ethernet, a USB modem, and up to 4 iPhone LTE connections using the Teralink application. To take advantage of this bandwidth lifesaver, all you need is a subscription to our Core service.

3. We understand price is important, which is why we are selling the Cube 655 at a list price of $1990, the same price as the old Cube 155. Our HEVC Cube 755 has an MSRP of just $2990, making it the most affordable H.265 codec on the market today and lowering the barrier to entry for cutting edge video encoding.

Live X produced all 20 streams for the Teradek Studio at Mojocon 2017 in Galway, Ireland, with only an iPad Pro and four iPhones.

At the Teradek Studio in the Mobile Journalism Conference, hosts David McClelland and Róisín Ní Thomáin interviewed guests in a more talk-show – rather than conference panel – format, allowing them to get into more detail with keynote speakers, and feature additional guests beyond the mainstage lineup.

Our focus on the production side was creating great quality webcasts using truly mobile-ready gear. You can’t get more multicam-and-mobile than Teradek’s Live:Air workflow. Live:Air software on an iPad makes source inputs easy, finding and streaming any devices running Live:Air Remote software on the same network. With Live:Air, we could then switch between four iPhone 6s Plus cameras, while also adding lower-thirds, bugs, slates, and roll-ins, and mixing audio sources….

….Finally, we knew some of our guests wanted to show off their Apps, or other on-screen visuals from their iPhones. Since Live:Air Remote sends only the camera feed to Live:Air, we set up a fifth camera source, for getting the live screen feed from guest iPhones via HDMI, through a Teradek Cube 655.

The Cube, when in Live:Air mode and on the same network, easily connects with Live:Air as another source. This was the only input source where the cabling didn’t start with the Camera adapter. Instead we used the Lightning to HDMI adapter, which also requires tethered power. From there, we simply ran the HDMI to the Cube and connected the Cube to the network switch via CAT6.
