Savings in terms of resources, time, and money.

Production costs are undoubtedly the biggest concern for our clients, end customers, and rights holders (and probably for everyone else as well). Remote Production is a good alternative (to traditional solutions) that helps reduce costs—especially when it comes to travel and equipment transport.

With Remote Production, there’s no need to bring along a team of camera operators, a production manager, lighting and sound technicians, a coordinator, etc. The need for on-site personnel is significantly reduced simply by cutting travel costs, insurance, and other related expenses, such as hotel or transportation costs during the stay.

This means you won’t incur huge costs transporting fragile and expensive equipment to the destination. With Remote Production, you don’t need to rent a production truck or crew van for the events you cover. You’ll also save time, since you won’t have to worry about transporting and setting up equipment.

Remote Studio Production

Remote Studio Production allows you to remotely manage the crew, audio, and video in a remote production studio, enabling greater control and higher quality during the recording process.

In other words, our equipment and staff are available to work in their familiar environment. And without being dependent on weather conditions or other limitations—and any necessary additional equipment is always within reach. Everything is tested and ready in our green screen studio. This means that when we run tests with you, it’s to test the content and creative elements. We’re ready when you’re ready.

Remote Studio Production offers greater flexibility and efficiency. But for it to work in practice, you need to have skilled and experienced people at your disposal. You need people you can communicate with—and people who respond quickly. For example, when you or your producer give instructions to the camera crew in the remote studio (at our facility) to perform a task, it must happen without delay.

Low-latency

One of the advantages of modern IP technology is that video stream data can be transmitted at high speeds with minimal loss of quality. At Mediehuset København, we use a rock-solid and fast fiber connection. In fact, multiple camera and audio feeds can be transmitted to your production suite with very low latency over long distances—that is, both throughout Denmark and internationally.

Jimmy Rehak, CEO of Mediehuset København, says: “We now have technology with such low latency that the remote director or producer can instruct camera operators to zoom and pan with virtually the same reaction time and overview as in a traditional live or studio production.”

When doesn’t it make sense to choose Remote Production?

Cost will, of course, be the deciding factor. If this question had been asked just a few years ago, it might have been that you didn’t have the necessary bandwidth—but otherwise, it’s very hard to see a reason not to use Remote Production. Let’s assume your company has a high surplus of staff resources, and that airfare and hotel stays were free; even then, it would still be extremely difficult to ignore the enormous amount of time it would take to handle travel and production on your own.
