Project Overview

Provided Technical Direction and engineering support for a multi camera livestream production supporting the USC VanEck Southern California Blockchain Conference. The production required a reliable live broadcast workflow that could integrate with the venue environment and deliver a stable stream to remote viewers.

The work included technical planning, gear specification, cable run planning, signal flow design, production system connectivity, livestream configuration, and coordination with venue audio visual infrastructure.

Production Environment

The production combined auditorium coverage, backstage style technical control, confidence monitoring, camera placement, and a clean livestream handoff for the conference audience and remote viewers.

Technical Scope

The project centered on building a dependable end to end workflow from camera acquisition through switching, encoding, network delivery, and Vimeo livestream distribution.

  • Designed the production signal flow from cameras through switching and encoding
  • Planned cable runs and system connectivity for the room layout
  • Specified technical approach for a multi camera conference livestream
  • Integrated with USC house AV systems, including FOH audio feeds and venue signal paths
  • Supported onsite execution under live event conditions with venue and network constraints
Simplified livestream signal flow from camera acquisition through Vimeo delivery

Livestream Encoding and Delivery

Configured and managed OBS and vMix based encoding workflows to align with platform requirements, available bandwidth, and the needs of the live event environment. The stream was designed to balance image quality, stability, and operational reliability.

Venue AV Integration

Integrated the live production workflow with USC in house audiovisual infrastructure, including front of house audio feeds and venue signal paths. The goal was to create a clean handoff between house systems and the broadcast workflow while maintaining proper gain structure, sync alignment, and dependable routing.

This integration ensured the production could operate within the existing venue environment while still meeting livestream and broadcast level expectations.

Outcome

Delivered a stable, high quality multi camera livestream under live event conditions while aligning broadcast production requirements with the realities of the venue infrastructure. The workflow supported a successful conference production and provided a clean example of practical livestream engineering, venue integration, and technical direction in a real world event environment.

  • Stable multi camera livestream delivery
  • Clean integration with house audio and venue signal paths
  • Encoding workflow aligned to platform and bandwidth requirements
  • Production design that translated cleanly from planning to onsite execution
