Remote production

Thanks to the control of our servers over IP and the operation of all our software over all traditional networks, Central Storage allows to apply any type of remote production.

  • Productions where all the signals are brought to the broadcast center but the operators may not be present for reasons of space or other causes (COVID, etc)
  • Remote models where operators are present in the broadcast center controlling servers still existing/installed on a truck
  • Remote models where operators are not present in the broadcast center but they are controlling servers still existing/installed on a truck from home (or any other location)
  • Reverse operation where the operator located on the OB can control a remote server playback located in the broadcast center

BLT developed this technology reaching a technical maturity and offering high production reliability.
All hardware and software tools are shaped to meet those needs.
