Online Streaming & Recording

FIS has a small AV Production team handling most of the online course programmes recording. The AV team produced web-based advertising/promotional content and short lecture/lessons daily. Their setup was using a simple USB camera together with portable green screen and touchscreen PC (for lecture and tele-prompting) and stream via streaming software.

However, the keying effects were undesirable due to poor lighting setup and the presenter does not have eye contact with the camera. Thus the final video recording resulting in poor quality.

It was during Broadcast Asia 2019 where the AV production team visited us and understand further how can Datavideo solution help to achieve they requirement. There-after, they requested a site visit to their school to view their setup and give suggestion to improve. Eventually, this turn out to be a turn-key solution including the room designed with the desired for being able to broadcast with multi-cameras operation. In this solution, it must be able to captured classroom teaching and streaming.
