Self-Powered Cloud Movement: Lacking Wheeled Transporation
Prepare to dip your toes into the future of live production! Advanced Systems Group (ASG) has unleashed a cutting-edge version of their virtual cloud control room, the Virtual Truck, designed to mimic the functionality of a traditional on-site production truck. The Virtual Truck, a game-changer in the industry, brings a host of benefits that address the demands of modern production and improve operational efficiency.
What's the Point?
The idea behind the Virtual Truck is simple yet powerful: When clients rent a mobile production truck, they're essentially purchasing an entire production package containing cameras, communications, and the switching, routing, and audio mixing systems. ASG identified the potential for replicating this all-inclusive model using cloud technology, and the result could prove revolutionary.
Cash-strapped and Eco-friendly
Utilizing a Virtual Truck means significantly reducing costs in comparison to operating a mobile production truck. The savings stem from eliminating the physical truck's expenses as well as the greenhouse gas emissions associated with transporting it and the crew to the production site. Operators can operate from a centralized location or work entirely remotely, leading to several advantages.
For instance, budget previously spent on travel could instead be allocated towards securing top-tier talent, allowing you to hire exceptional crew members and technical directors. Reduced travel time also means operators can focus more on multi-tasking and less time on tiresome journeys, boosting productivity and production quality.
Ease of Integration
The intelligibility of today's cloud production technologies ensures you're not giving up on functionality. ASG's biggest design challenge was making it simple for users to integrate contribution elements, such as cameras, comms, and audio from the venue. To tackle this hurdle, ASG partnered with specialists excelling in contribution services, allowing for seamless on-site contribution integration with the Virtual Truck.
The Long and Short of It
Historically, cloud production focused on installing permanent setups fed from fixed venues. With REMI, all operators generally had to be in one place. Thanks to the on-site contribution model of ASG's Virtual Truck, operators can be in one place or work from whatever location is best for the content creator.
In a nutshell, the Virtual Truck is a cost-effective solution that opens the door to a plethora of partnerships, blending the cloud with traditional production equipment. In essence, collaboration and fostering partnerships are the driving forces of the Virtual Truck's ecosystem, and it's transforming the use of cloud for live production.
It's a brave new world out there, and Virtual Trucks are set to reshape the landscape of live production, making it more efficient, adaptable, and sustainable. Say goodbye to the era of manual, expensive production trucks, and embrace the cost-saving, adaptable, and eco-friendly power of cloud-based production technologies!
