To Remotely Go! - Parsons, M.

For the past ten years the University of Portsmouth Live Graduation ceremonies have been produced entirely on location at Portsmouth Guildhall, and this has become a popular and very slick operation watched by upwards of 3000 people per ceremony. The last ten years have seen much refinement of the broadcast, with every change managing to bring a slightly smoother workflow, and an extra polish to the production. However, one aspect that has not changed is in the set-up and breakdown of a vast amount of kit. The arduous task of uprooting most of our kit is something that has definitely made the operation problematic for many reasons, and the logistics of transport or avoidance of kit breakage are just some of the benefits for doing things differently. This is where Newtek’s IP Workflow comes into the picture, and because much of our broadcast infrastructure is built upon NewTek solutions, it made sense to explore the technology on offer.
