E! UK’s Oscar Watch Along Party Live Streamed with the Blackmagic Web Presenter

Blackmagic Design announced that prolific web broadcaster Alex Pettitt delivered a Facebook Live Stream for broadcaster E! UK’s Oscars Watch Along Party using a compact live production workflow consisting of the ATEM Television Studio HD, HyperDeck Studio Mini and Blackmagic Web Presenter. Given the hotel suite location, E! UK made it clear that space would be at a premium, but that Alex couldn't compromise on production quality. Three camera sources were fed into the ATEM Television Studio HD, which was controlled by both software and from its front panel buttons. To save further space, Alex made use of the 7” Blackmagic Video Assist 4K as his multiview monitor during the production. The ATEM’s program out was fed into a Blackmagic Web Presenter to convert the live broadcast to 720p, where it was output over USB to a Mac running OBS for distribution via E!’s Facebook page. A clean camera feed from the AUX out was also recorded in ProRes to SD cards using the HyperDeck Studio Mini allowing Alex to produce additional social media clips and teasers as the night unfolded.
