Remote Production Services

We at MST have created a flexible toolbox of services that enable graphics for remote production, which are both managed and self-serviced. We offer partial or fully remote graphics engines and even cloud-based graphics for live streams.

The range and flexibility of these remote production graphic options are what has become key to servicing our customers’ needs. Remote productions typically have a variety of sources, that contribute over a range of topologies, so we have created flexible workflows to allow graphics and the operation/support to fit in with your setup.

The options below can easily be interchanged or combined to offer further automation and cost-effective yet reliable ways of delivering remote production graphics. This lowers the cost of entry for remote production graphics and bespoke feeds for regions/sponsors/broadcasters.




1

Graphics at the remote facility

  • CG Engine location
  • Remote production facility
  • Operator location
  • Remote production facility
  • Data for graphics
  • From the venue over a dedicated network, Web/OTT or via MST’s low-latency cloud platform

How it works

On-site or OTT support and management software means graphic updates can be applied remotely. Otherwise a traditional graphics workflow at the remote production hub, with graphics added into the broadcast as usual.

On venue OB + automated remote graphics

  • CG Engine location
  • At the venue
  • Operator location
  • At the venue
  • Data for graphics
  • At the venue

How it works

Our certified network engineers virtualise all data back to your production area, enabling a “local” OB to continue, yet all graphics can be slaved into graphics engines in your remote production facility. Engines and graphics do not have to be the same make/manufacture/type/language, since we can translate commands.

Operate Anywhere CG

  • CG Engine location
  • Remote production facility
  • Operator location
  • Anywhere
  • Data for graphics
  • From the venue over a dedicated network, Web/OTT or via MST’s low-latency cloud platform

How it works

The CG operator can be located anywhere and connects to our secure low-latency cloud platform. From there, all command and control data is ferried to the correct CG engine for output. Individual clusters can be instanced per customer to avoid any data cross-talk potential and live graphic previews are generated whithin our interface for the operator.

Cloud & streaming graphics

  • CG Engine location
  • The cloud, no hardware required!
  • Operator location
  • Anywhere
  • Data for graphics
  • From the venue over a dedicated network, Web/OTT or via MST’s low-latency cloud platform

How it works

What if your entire graphics output could be just a URL? How flexible could that be? And what if you wanted SDI, NDI or IP Video, that was easy to setup too? That’s exactly what this is, enabling truly cloud-based graphics, that can be directly added into live-streams without the need for any hardware if traditional I/O isn’t needed.

Embedded commands in video

  • CG Engine location
  • At the venue
  • Operator location
  • At the venue
  • Data for graphics
  • At the venue

How it works

A 'traditional' OB, yet commands for graphics are embedded directly into the video feed using our embedding software with precise frame accuracy. These are then extracted later to enable automated remote graphics, from feeds that are operated on-site.
