Filmscape Chicago: 67 streaming sessions with JVC PTZs

One KY-PZ510WU and two KY-PZ400NWU PTZ cameras, managed by the RM-LP100U remote camera controller. JVC Professional Video, have allowed the non-profit educational institution Filmscape Chicago broadcast via YouTube 67 sessions of his famous conferences, which serve to train professionals behind the cameras.

The KY-PZ510 JVC was used as the main camera to track each presenter, while the two KY cameras- PZ400 They flanked the stage for the round tables. In the words of Gary Adcock, CEO of Filmscape: "Thanks to the cameras' compact construction, we were able to mount one of the KY-PZ400 PTZs on a wall, suspend the other KY-PZ400 from the ceiling, and place the single KY-PZ510 PTZ on a large stand. With this setup, we captured the event and fulfilled Filmscape's ongoing mission to deliver the necessary impact with the best possible technology."

The Filmscape Chicago team also benefited from the AI auto tracking feature from JVC. According to Adcock, this solution “simplified the process for the film crew, who did not have to manually follow the speaker,” as well as “it also benefited the speaker, who was able to walk around the set without worrying about whether he was on shot.” “This improved the experience of viewers of our live broadcast, who had the feeling of attending the event in person,” he says.

On the other hand, the internet connection integrated into JVC PTZs allowed Filmscape Chicago to broadcast live signals directly to its YouTube. For Filmscape's CEO, "I find the simplicity of JVC's integrated PTZ technologies, such as the ability to connect via Ethernet and control the cameras in multiple ways, amazing. These features allowed camera operators to perform at a higher level, and that's important."

"Creating a smooth livestream can be very complicated when you have over 1,000 people around you while trying to execute simple and efficient camera workflows with non-traditional camera placements. We are proud and honored to have PTZs from JVC to capture this event, and to join us in building our community, not just locally in Chicago, but throughout the Midwest; bringing film and television education directly to homes,” Adcock concludes.
