Working at the event on behalf of live DJ streaming site, DJTVLive.com, IwashTV set up the VR-3 with two cameras to capture the live DJ sets from the festival stage, which were then streamed directly to a computer source, reaching around 4000 viewers over two days. The increasing popularity of event streaming was proven at LSC which had a total of 16000 stream viewers across the whole event.
Managing director of IwashTV, Simon Fletcher commented, "The VR-3 was ideal because we had limited space in which to work. The beauty of the system is that we don't need any extra audio or video mixers - everything we need is in the VR-3. It's 'plug in and play' - saves us time and hassle but it also means that we can offer an affordable streaming option to our clients - because we don't need to over complicate the job. For what we need and what we do, the VR-3 is ideal."
With a variety of clients ranging from corporate conferences to dance music festivals with numerous setups - from 20-camera gigs through to single camera conferences, the flexibility (in terms of inputs and outputs) and detailed feature set of the VR-3 were also important to IwashTV.
IwashTV also used the Roland V-8 8-channel video mixer, with two selectable RGB inputs, monitor outputs and additional powerful special effects.
