Nerd technology questions - How ETN does live streaming

[fakie nollie]

My main job role is live-streaming events. Primarily interviews, sometimes social events and sometimes tours with artists. Includes the live video and content sharing (presentation or video).

I use Zoom to do this and the quality is garbage. No matter how high quality the equipment (Canon C300's, Sennheiser wireless) the output is always sub-par. While the audio quality sucks, I like how it auto-compresses everything. Nothing to do with packet loss etc. but more so how the frame rate drops and latency in audio/video comes through. When doing playback to international locations (China/AUS, EU), we're streaming a recording of the first stream so this becomes total garbage on those second playbacks.

Anyone know what they're using to stream, cost etc.? Second, any Adobe Premier nerds know the best settings for export to retain frame size and quality? For the sake of time, I use their default and it degrades pixel quality, especially if I'm using a pre-recorded video from Zoom. My background is in post-production audio so video is kind of a new beast for me.

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, I just don't know who to turn to other than my PALs.

Paying for on-demand skateboarding is complete cancer, I agree. But the production quality is pretty top-notch.

You sound like a dude who got a camera and is now a wedding photographer. Link your insta resume.

Also, I think ETN has money for satellites and CDNs.

[shit_for_brains]

They might use OBS that's how my employer does smaller scale (their scale is real big) streams like ETN size. Well OBS and a bunch of other shit, but that's what outputs the broadcast.

You're obviously not a golfer...

No insta resume (or instagram account for that matter). Might be hard to wrap your head around this one but in the corporate world, there are people who produce content from the higher ups to show employees or the outside world. When producing the content, there are jobs for people to do the technical stuff..... are you catching my drift or do you want me to talk about how I wrap cables....

Context and a link to job postings for the people you hire, please. Do they get benefits and a monthly allowance for hooch?

Ya, and eventually companies that get big have whole AV teams with educated folks and outside consultants to work through shit like your problems. I think I catch your drift tho, you are not the technical guy, you're just fishing for things to ask your techs about? also lol@"we're streaming a recording of the first stream so this becomes total garbage on those second playbacks."

This was a good joke and people need to understand that.

[fakie nollie]

Really, really glad I made this thread. Sorry for the spam, I’ll close it out.

Finally a question I can answer cause I suck at skating.

I don't know for sure, but I work in television production and have used these units that can be worn in a backpack to live broadcast. They'll just take an HDMI or SDI signal from any camera and send it out in full HD using cell towers. I'm guessing that's what they're using, its light enough that a filmer could wear one and skate and the footage is pretty high quality.

Thank you! I was happy with it.

[reptar_bar]

between the production costs and paying skaters to participate, there is no way ETN is turning a profit. it will be done before 2020 4 sure

cuz he has long hair and a beard(i think)?

[Bitter]

Surprisingly, Vans Park Series just announced a streaming deal with ETN. So they must offer some value? Although Street League hasn’t mentioned anything about ETN this year. Maybe World Skate is working on a network TV deal.

Because he’s a fake visionary that has influence over the upper crust, but no real talent.
