New Management Technology For Video Remotes Drives Change Across TV News Production

In a first-of-its-kind study of a major TV newsgroup, VCC used testing data from nearly a year of on-air production to compare the organization’s legacy IP remote workflow to our AirFirst™ platform.

Among the report findings:

• Execution time has been reduced by more than 76% creating thousands of hours of improved efficiency 
• The need for time-consuming test calls has been reduced by 42% 
• A 267% increase in the number of air calls made reflects more quality content being produced

The report also explores the steps taken that quantifiably improved the newsgroup’s ability to create remotes from smartphones and laptops by:

• • Improving ease of use for non-technical remote guests and other contributors
  • Using a single link to connect contributors with any of three native apps from any device, anywhere
  • Decreasing operational complexity and improving communications for staff
  • Reducing time to air
