Henry County’s Woodland High School was Amitrace’s latest project. Much like our other educational solutions Woodland was looking for a complete overhaul of their studio in order to get the best possible student news program they could have. Naturally we were happy to assist. Woodland’s broadcast studio had a professional set up with their control room separated from their actual news desk and studio. The control room made use of a NewTek™ TriCaster TC1, several brand new Asus™ monitors and a Mackie™ 16-channel audio mixer to control multiple audio sources from talent. Amitrace worked on providing a new desk for…

A common question that we get when consulting with clients about a new broadcast solution for their studio is always this: “Will I be able to use my old cameras in this new set up?” Like most solutions, the answer can be as unique as the studio itself. Depending on what a client is looking for can determine on what we recommend. For example, if you’re looking for a full NDI suite then we may recommend looking into some NDI compatible cameras, switchers and other similar devices. However, while these types of solutions are wonderful to have, they can often…
Amitrace has just finished completing one of our largest projects this year at Jones County High School. The objective was once again a full scale broadcast studio complete with a control room. The control room portion of the studio made use of a TriCaster TC1 which would serve as the heart of the operation. The TC1 is, of course, NewTek’s™ premiere production switcher that is capable of recording, streaming and broadcasting simultaneously with a potential of 16 inputs, 4 physical and 12 configurable NDI. Blackmagic™ duo monitors and 20×20 video hubs also comprised this set up, allowing the control room…
Earlier this year Amitrace was contacted by Franklin County High School to create and install a full audio visual production suite for their broadcast program. As we always are with these types of projects, Amitrace was happy to oblige. A professional broadcast production is typically made up of three major parts: the control room, the news desk, and the field production. For Franklin our goal was to cover all three of these areas with modern audio visual technology that would not only resemble the type of professionally produced shows you watch on prime time television, but also be physically set…
In the age of instantaneous information, mobile broadcasting has become commonplace. As such, there becomes a need for being able to stream and broadcast from anywhere at anytime. Thankfully LiveU provides solutions to this conundrum that doesn’t involve running an ethernet cord 500 miles with your field journalists and the LU300 HEVC only makes that easier. With LiveU’s professional-grade hardware HEVC technology at its core, the LU300 combines high-quality video performance with extreme bandwidth efficiency. Content creators can provide the same video quality as H.264 while using about half the bandwidth. In cases where original H.264 bitrate is maintained, the…
