The show must..
..go on-line!
In the current climate we’re experiencing, Covid-19 has affected many lives, and dealt a secondary blow to the music and events industry.
With social distancing guidelines in place, venues are looking into the logistics of remaining compliant which unfortunately translates to around 33% of capacity. We all know the maths just doesn't add up. Furthermore the impact on concert-goers will be felt long after the distancing measures are relaxed as many will avoid attending crowded spaces. Particularly within senior demographics.
Its a challenge what to do next. We think we can help.
It is essential to maintain a presence with your audiences. We’re proposing a new video service to enable your audience to pay to see your programme, delivered in Full HD from your venue, and generate a recurring income stream. This is a fully guided service. We are here for every step of the journey.
Lets break it down into 3 simple steps:
Step 1
Smile you're on camera!
We can assist your venue in selecting the right equipment. The aim is to be higher quality than a typical home "live stream" without spending the earth. Your stage, lights and sound will make for a high quality concert experience.
To stream live, your venue will need:
- A computer
- At least one high quality camera
- A HDMI input device
- A sound card with line inputs
- And a reasonable internet connection
- That's it!....(ok maybe a few cables!)
Step 2
Broadcast to the World!
Send it to your customers, and literally worldwide using our
global server network connection. We have access to the largest video content delivery network. High quality and reliability a must-have.
Then what?
A You'll be given a secure feed into our connection with the global delivery network. We have researched all the options and believe we are tied into the best network balancing reliability, reach. and cost. The network scales dynamically so you can grow your audience and never run out of capacity.
Step 3
Monetisation!
We think there might be a sustainable way of engaging your loyal customer base. Invite them to access your streamed "live" and "watch later" performances on a low monthly subscription plan or pay-per-view. You can be your own "Netflix" venue!
Aren't live streams always free to watch?
Yes they are! The internet has done a lot of damage to the music business. That happened a long time ago with the advent of the MP3.
It has been noted by economists we are moving to a subscription based economy.
We think you can too. Don't run a fund raiser campaign which would only be good for one initial cash-in-the-hat injection. Get your venue up and running again, reconnect with your audience, and deliver your regular arts programme directly to their home.
This can be achieved by using paywall and membership based architecture...either via your existing website, or we will build one for you!
What is..
..the cost?
Less than you might think actually. Video is one of those mediums whereby the sky-is-the-limit on equipment spends. We are here to guide you to achieve a very high quality video end product, for a reasonable cost. Fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page and we will send you a copy of our 'spends & revenues' guide which will enable you to do some ballpark calculations on your outlays and projected returns.

Before the pandemic, we were event technicians working in the same industry as you. Sound and lighting engineers, but with a background also in IT. We’ve now re-purposed ourselves to offer turnkey video streaming services.
