Flexible working: Here to stay?
Developing your workflow for the long term
The pandemic forced the media and broadcast sector to adapt and change like never before. But with yet another so-called new normal looming as people can return to the office, is flexible working here to stay for good? And what have we learned that can help us take advantage of increased flexibility now and in the future?
Let’s begin at the beginning, with production. OB trucks are the traditional staple of mobile production, but present plenty of downsides. Expensive, bulky and necessitating obvious logistical costs, they also require every member of the production team to be based in a single place – meaning they’re entirely unsuited to flexible working. Fortunately, NDI technology offers a much more flexible alternative – and in fact, it’s an alternative that can also reduce your costs, too.
Spinning up productions in the cloud
By moving remote production kit out of OB trucks and into the cloud with an NDI system, you can enjoy ultimate flexibility in location, get a production set up much more easily and benefit from cost savings.
Simply set up a SIENNA ND Processing Engine on a server at your site or hosted on the cloud, then use SRT encoders to gather your footage from remote locations. You can then use native NDI tools to remotely handle and switch the video streams for broadcast – you get total control, from anywhere, on a single network.
NDI also lets you manage footage of different input types from different locations, then output it to multiple streaming formats at the same time, meaning you can deliver to many more platforms with no extra effort.
Best of all, it’s perfect for flexible working. With a remote NDI solution, you can connect to the staff you want, no matter where they are – even if it’s an international production. And as an added bonus, your remote workflow can make it easier to stay up and running through natural disasters, weather disruption, closures or COVID-19 outbreaks.
What about post?
With post-production, you have even more choice and the flexibility to switch up your edit suites so your business can be more adaptable and efficient.
