Off Set Monitoring with Greg Ciaccio | Panel Discussion
“We were using Teradek’s Prism onstage to do reviews and we had a zoom session with dozens of executives who all had the Teradek Core feed as well as the Zoom. The zoom was being used to do the communication back and forth, so anyone dialing in could ask questions, everyone could hear the questions, and then we would answer. But we were not just relying on Zoom, of course. We had the Teradek feed and the latency was even less than we had on Ripple Effect.” –Greg Ciaccio
In the age of Covid-19, how has remote technology enabled crews to work more safely, and what tools caused by this acceleration will be utilized in the post-COVID age? How does remote production enable worldwide collaboration, allowing for artists and creatives to interact in realtime with ‘high-presence’? Greg Ciaccio and Gary Adcock discuss all of this and more during this panel.
Filmed on March 6 as part of the Remote Production Conference
