Conan O’Brien’s podcast studio hosts a range of shows from the popular “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” to “Where Everyone Knows Your Name” with Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson. With a busy shoot schedule, the studio required an efficient and secure way to record its multi-camera productions. The Hollywood-based podcast studio turned to Pronology and Haivision to optimize the video production workflow.
The studio is utilizing the Pronology StreamFile Core platform for the ingest of its multiple camera feeds and other sources in conjunction with the Haivision Makito X4 encoder that delivers high-quality video at ultra-low latency with secure and reliable streaming over IP. Prior to this new workflow, the studio team would record the cameras as baseband SDI signals with on-premise video recorders. With this simplified, cloud-based StreamFile Core workflow, the camera feeds are streamed and recorded directly to Amazon S3, saving production time and money, as one person can efficiently manage all cameras and recordings from a single, easy-to-use web interface.
