The Production Lab is the perfect setup for workgroup production, whether it's for live-streaming or for project-building. Blackmagic switchers are supported by THREE well-stocked workstations, with a huge variety of ways to work on your media project or to get on the air.
All three seats have Blackmagic control apps, graphics apps, DaVinci Resolve and other video and graphics tools. Also, all three have OBS, H2R Pro Graphics and a shared server for collaboration. The primary workstation is equipped for full-scale live audio production and mixing, including Pro Tools Studio, with many options for handling your audio. There are also 26 preamps for those interested in recording on a larger scale.
Central to the shooting area is a BlackMagic 4K Studio Cam Pro, and a newly added Pocket Cinema Cam 6KG2. A modest lighting rig is also included. Feel free to bring extra lights, cameras, microphones, laptops or other items to expand your production.
While working on your shooting and streaming setup, sometimes you discover you have artwork that needs to be scanned. During your Production Lab session, subject to availability, you may use the Scanning System free of charge. In addition to scanning negatives and transparencies, it also functions as a high quality flatbed system.
OBS and Web Presenter include stock settings for the most popular streaming services, each with their own respective benefits and costs. We also provide local options for testing your "on-air" readiness with in-house servers. We can also help with any custom solutions you may have in mind for live-streams that need to reach a larger audience or simply need your own custom branding. We use OwnCast for specialized streaming events and can work with you to self-host or with us according to event needs.
Our plugin colleciton is extensive. While the major workstation apps bundle enormous sets of instruments and effects, in addition to these we have extensive third party collections. Plugin Alliance, Waves, Universal Audio, Sonnox, UVI, Tracktion and more. We no longer maintain the lengthy list of individual plugs, but feel free to contact us for any particular questions.
We welcome a new Camera to our Production Lab - the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6KG2, to compliment the 4K Studio Cam Pro already in use. Now you can do multi-cam shooting or streaming without bringing your own cameras.
This also brings new lens options. The 4K has a native Micro FourThirds mount which we supplement with a Nikon adapter for our big Nikkor set. The 6KG2 has a navite EOS mount which we also supplement with a Nikon adapter. The sensor size of the cameras allows some extra creative flexibility when choosing focal lengths and crop factors.
