Absolute Live Productions

Absolute Live Productions in California, specializing in multi-camera livestreaming, recently used TVUPack during the production of a feature film to continuously stream the footage to its producer, as the crew captured it on set. The producer was required on another set of an on-going television project at the same time, and could not attend the film set. Using the TVUPack’s HD livestream, he viewed and monitored the film’s dailies and progress, in effect working in two places at once, on two projects simultaneously. absoluteliveproductions.com

This joint partnership resulted in the release of theAerial Newsgathering Packto transmit live HD video from a portable, flying drone pack to nearly any location – including directly to a production facility for live on-air television broadcast or a CDN for live Web broadcasting - using combinations of available connections.
