The stakes of professional video capture

Video capture is more than just recording. It's a strategic investment that enhances your event, amplifies your message, and creates a lasting content library. However, without technical expertise, the risks are numerous.

1

Ensure the longevity of your investment

An event represents months of preparation and a significant budget. Filming allows you to capitalize on this investment by creating content that can be used for years.

2

Multiply the audience

Only 30% of your target audience can attend physically. Filming allows you to reach those who are absent, extend your geographic reach, and create opportunities to catch up.

3

Avoid technical disasters

Inaudible sound, pixelated image, unexpected interruptions... Technical problems can ruin the perception of your event. A methodical approach prevents them 95% of the time.

4

Creating premium content

Beyond simple recording, professional capture generates derivative content: teasers, highlights, interviews, training materials, etc. A true communication ecosystem.

5

Controlling costs

Without expertise, budgets can explode by 40 to 60%. Our approach optimizes each item while guaranteeing the quality necessary for your objectives.

Choosing your Providers
Sound System

Not all audio providers are proficient in the same technologies. Here are the essential skills to verify and the right questions to ask to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Essential Technical Skills

Verify that your provider is proficient in these technical areas based on your event type.

Advanced RF Proficiency

Complex RF transmission requires specialized expertise for multi-channel coordination and interference management in dense environments.

"How many RF channels can you coordinate simultaneously?"
"Do you perform a preliminary RF analysis of the site?"
"What equipment do you use? (Shure Axient, Sennheiser 6000...)"

Audio IP Protocols

DANTE, NDI, ST 2110 are the new standards for professional audio distribution. Verify your provider's proficiency in these technologies.

"Are you proficient in DANTE networks for audio distribution?"
"How do you manage latency on hybrid events?"
"Do you use NDI or ST 2110 for AV synchronization?"

Hybrid Events

High-quality audio streaming with remote participants requires specific expertise to avoid latency and ensure real-time interaction.

"What latency do you guarantee for audio streaming?"
"How do you test bandwidth on site?"
"Do you have backup solutions if the connection weakens?"

Support & Monitoring

Real-time monitoring and rapid response capability are essential to ensure consistent audio quality during the event.

"Who is responsible for audio monitoring during the event?"
"What is your response time in the event of an incident?"
"Do you have backup equipment on site?"

Warning Signs to Avoid

Answers that should make you think twice about your choice of sound provider

"We'll adapt on site" for RF coordination without prior analysis
"DANTE? It's complicated" or unfamiliarity with IP audio protocols
"No latency issues" without explaining how they control it
"Wi-Fi is enough" for professional audio streaming without a wired solution
"We'll see on the day" for technical tests and rehearsals
No hardware redundancy on critical equipment (console, main microphones)

Technical Questions to Ask

Practical questionnaire to assess the technical expertise of your sound providers

RF Transmission

1
RF Analysis: "Do you systematically perform an RF spectrum analysis before the event?"
2
Coordination: "How many RF microphones can you operate simultaneously without interference?"
3
Equipment: "Which brands and models do you use? Shure Axient, Sennheiser 6000?"
4
Plan B: "How do you handle unforeseen interference during the event?"

Streaming & Hybrid

1
Latency: "What audio latency do you guarantee for our live streaming?"
2
Technologies: "Do you use NDI, DANTE, or ST 2110 for synchronization?"
3
Bandwidth: "How do you calculate and test the necessary bandwidth?"
4
Redundancy: "Do you have backup solutions if the primary connection weakens?"

Support & Reliability

1
Team: "Who will be on-site? A DANTE-certified sound engineer?"
2
Monitoring: "How do you monitor audio quality in real time?"
3
Intervention: "What is your response time in case of an audio incident?"
4
Tests: "Do you offer a full dress rehearsal under real-world conditions?"
Technical Expertise

Our Approach
Sound Reinforcement Technology

Our expertise in broadcast and RF transmission has taught us that modern event sound reinforcement requires a methodical approach to anticipate and resolve technical challenges.

Ten years of experience in sound reinforcement coordination have allowed us to observe that successful events share a common approach: technical anticipation takes precedence over improvisation.

Our broadcast TV and RF transmission background gives us a different perspective on event sound reinforcement. We apply the rigorous standards of broadcast to corporate events.

This experience allows us to select the right service providers and coordinate technical teams that master current standards: DANTE, RF transmission, low-latency streaming.

Event Sound System FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the technical aspects of modern event sound systems

A preliminary RF analysis of the site remains the crucial step. It identifies available frequencies and potential sources of interference (Wi-Fi, 4G, other equipment).

  • Professional RF scan with spectrum analyzer to map the environment
  • Calculated frequency coordination with sufficient guard intervals
  • Compatible equipment (Shure Axient, Sennheiser 6000) with automatic management
  • Preliminary tests under real conditions with all active microphones

With a rigorous methodology, 15 to 32 RF microphones can operate simultaneously without interference.

For real-time interaction, audio latency must remain below 50ms. Beyond that, exchanges become difficult between on-site and remote participants.

  • < 50ms: Natural, imperceptible interaction possible
  • 50-150ms: Noticeable but tolerable delay for conferences
  • > 300ms: Major problem, impossible interaction

Technical solutions: NDI, ST 2110 with PTP, or DANTE to stay below the critical threshold. Conventional platforms (Zoom, Teams) often exceed 200ms.

The choice depends on the complexity of your event and the audio distribution distances.

Prioritize DANTE if:

  • Complex distribution: multiple rooms, remote listening areas
  • Hybrid event with simultaneous streaming and recording
  • Flexibility required: audio routing that can be modified in real time

Stay analog if: simple event, single zone, technical teams not trained in DANTE. The technical complexity must match the actual need.

Basic tests are not enough. You have to simulate the real conditions of your event.

Testing methodology:

  • Real-world condition test: same time, same network load as the event
  • Load simulation: exact number of participants connected simultaneously
  • Stability tests: maintain the flow for the entire duration of the event
  • Latency measurement: verify audio-video synchronization in real time

Practical calculation: 2 Mbps per participant for high-quality audio streaming. Allow 30% extra for unstable network compensation.

Technical honesty is better than improvisation. A service provider who acknowledges their limitations inspires more confidence.

Possible options:

  • Express training: some service providers can be trained quickly
  • Technical partnership: collaborate with a specialist for your event
  • Technical simplification: adapt the solution to the available skills
  • Change service provider: sometimes necessary for complex events

Our role: to identify these situations upstream and offer solutions adapted to your budget and schedule.
