M-Three Hub functions and operations
At IBC 2013 M-Three Satcom will show some applications recently introduced, such as the creation and the configuration of a new studio concept, projected for Sky Italy journalists. No matter where the journalist is, at the time of the scheduled interview he can easily connect to the production centre through a lightweight set of equipment which simulate a real studio facility, fully equipped with brand new devices extremely handy and user friendly. Using remote cameras managed by the director in Sky studios, the journalist just has to start and stop the system and everything runs automatically. As he turns on the facility, he will immediately receive the audio/video feedback, whereas the director, from Sky central studio, manages in remote mode the motorized cameras located in the journalist studio.
M-Three Satcom CEO Carlo Morelli says “the extremely adaptability of technologies, its simplicity in the setting up and use for the journalists, together with the remote control and assistance of M-Three MCR and Sky direction, make the proposal very interesting for any kind of need in events production and for the creation of temporary studios from any location, drastically reducing the transmission costs”.
