The Challenge
To coordinate the Live broadcast of an extreamly important event to the Cal Poly Pomona campus. In addition to the functional success we try to improve the quality of our broadcast every year.
The Solution
A total functional success for our 2006 Commencement as we graduated 3,379 students and our webcast was viewed in 79 countries around the world over 36,000 times! This year's broadcast was not only a success but an improvement from previous broadcasts. We were able to bring great quality video through two new production methods. First we were able to coordinate the lighting of the stage to be tailor made for high quality video recording. The second way we were able to improve our quality was through on-site video calibration via a custom made mobile rack nicknamed 'Mini-me' which worked in conjunction with our Mobil Streaming Unit (MSU) to provide a superior video broadcast.
