As part of a series of global webcasts, First Draft News approached WaveFX to stream from the Guardian in London, The New York Times and the US arm of Al Jazerra. The two-hour long presentations offer journalists tools and techniques for verifying footage and imagery from social media channels.
The WaveFX team travels incredibly light, with a team of two packing a live stream unit, two HD cameras, audio mixer and several radio microphones.
Jamie, streaming technician at WaveFX, commented: “Our solution is rock solid, portable and incredibly cost effective, which means 90% of the time it’s cheaper to fly us round the world than use local crew.”
Webcasting events are at an all-time high. Previously considered an eco-friendly “nice to have” add-on, streaming really is now the norm, allowing remote viewers the ability to share files and interact by asking questions and taking part in real-time polls.
WaveFX has been at the forefront of webcasting technology, creating its own micro-site solution for clients. These micro-sites are fully customisable to match clients' branding and can be password protected if needed. View an example here http://yourname.webcastlive.co.uk/
