In the beginning, remote television production involved millions of dollars in equipment, very large crews, good sized footprints at the event site, multiple layers of technical personnel and was limited due to the number of physical mobile units in existence at that time.

Over the last couple of decades, the capabilities of smaller mobile units and fly-packs have helped to increase the number of these productions and somewhat lower the cost of these productions. With the rise in capabilities of a single broadcast production “workstation” the last couple of years, and the lowering of the cost of this type of on-site live production, we’ve seen a flood of new productions that have truly democratized what can be delivered to the viewer at an affordable price point while still maintaining the quality that is expected of a typical broadcast production.

It’s now possible to watch high school and city level sports productions, press conferences that might not otherwise be covered due to the cost, and new sports, such as pickleball, that are taking the markets by storm the last year.

Today’s productions can be shipped in a suitcase or two sized volume, and many times can be carried on the airplane by the single technical producer, who is also the TD, audio operator, graphics operator, replay operator and even camera operator.

This panel will be moderated by Linda Rosner of Artisan PR, and include Don McKinney of Mobile TV Group, Tom Wehrle, freelance director, replay operator and licensed drone pilot, and Hank Greening, broadcast producer of the Association of Pickleball Players (APP). The panelists will be talking about how each of them are utilizing this new technology to deliver broadcast quality productions on network television that would not have been possible until just recently.

They will talk about the technology behind this, how they’ve helped create this new workflow, and where they see this going in the future to continue advancing the deliverables to demanding viewers across the globe.
