Live streaming continues to revolutionise the way events are experienced, breaking down geographical barriers and allowing audiences to engage in real-time from anywhere in the world. As a leading live television and live streaming production company, Volt Media is at the forefront of this transformation, delivering high-quality live streaming services nationwide.
Why Live Streaming?
There has been massive growth in live streaming over the last few years, driven by several key factors:
Advancing Technology: Rapid technological advancements now allow for much more than was previously possible. Live television once required complex and expensive outside broadcast facilities with satellite transmission. Today, it is possible to broadcast from practically anywhere with good internet and increasingly compact and affordable equipment.
Changing Viewing Habits: The way people watch TV has changed dramatically. Network television is in decline as people now choose to watch content online via streaming platforms, YouTube, and social media.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The pandemic accelerated the growth of live streaming as people sought ways to connect with audiences, fans, or staff without leaving home. As video meetings became commonplace, live streaming also moved into the mainstream as a preferred method of communication.
This combination makes live streaming a perfect option for sports organisations, event organisers, and corporates who might not have considered live streaming before.
Volt Media’s Expertise in Live Streaming
Volt Media began our live streaming journey years ago, devising a service for Auckland University's Department of The Liggins Institute. Despite the technological challenges at the time, we successfully broadcast a series of seminars to school students nationwide, including an interactive platform for student questions.
Our expertise in live streaming is grounded in our extensive broadcast industry experience. This background provides us with a deep understanding of the technical requirements and complexities of live streaming. Our familiarity with camera equipment, sound equipment, live commentary systems, and multi-camera directing allows us to bring top-tier production quality to all our projects.
At the helm, we have a senior television producer who ensures an editorial and creative focus on our projects. While anyone can point a camera and press record, our team brings the additional elements that make a production exceptional.
Both the New Zealand Rally Championship and the New Zealand Jetsprint Championship have presented challenges with remote locations and limited internet access. Using up-to-date technology, we provide rock-solid live stream connections to multiple platforms and expert live commentary from any location.
