Choosing the right camera system

No two shows need the same camera package. A keynote may need a few clean angles and IMAG, while a livestream or studio production may call for a full multi-camera workflow.

MeyerPro helps plan the cameras, crew, switching, recording, and signal flow so everything fits the production and works together on show day.

Xbox showcase studio with broadcast cameras, camera crane, lighting, and live production support by MeyerPro

Built for live production

For the Xbox and Bethesda showcase, MeyerPro supported a 4K multi-camera workflow with Sony studio cameras, Cartoni camera support, switching, routing, playback, and recording.

The cameras were one part of a much larger broadcast system, which is how we approach live production. Everything has to work together cleanly from the lens to the final feed.
