UpStream Key Takeaways
Held in London's iconic QE II centre last week, this first of a kind event brought some interesting answers and opinions on streaming in the AV World.

While we are currently working on getting some of the videos from a whole day of presentations and discussions online for you, our social media team has compiled a brief overview of the findings made there:
- Virtual production:
LED Virtual Production offers significant advantages in terms of time and cost savings. However, due to its relatively recent emergence (popularized by The Mandalorian in 2019), there is currently a shortage of trained operators. - Audio quality rules:
Viewers exhibit more tolerance towards subpar video quality compared to audio quality. - Sustainability matters:
Instead of continuously pursuing higher resolutions, considering sustainability becomes crucial. In cases, the difference between 4K and 8K content is indistinguishable to most people. - NDI:
NDI, initially introduced by NewTek in 2015 and now operating independently, plays a pivotal role in facilitating plugand- play interoperability across standard IT infrastructures. - Tackle budget constraints:
When facing budget constraints, it's important not to automatically reduce investment in acoustics and lighting. These elements can compensate for lower-quality microphones and cameras. - Post-event debriefs:
While planning is crucial for streaming live events, post-event debriefs are equally important. They allow you to enhance the overall experience for future events and avoid getting stuck in a monotonous production cycle.
