SOLUTIONS FOR<br />

Working at home<br />

with the Shure MV88+ microphone kit which has proven successful. We also have a<br />

partnership with Telstra in Australia that allows us to use the Lanes 4G service in some<br />

cases, which allows for connection over dedicated 4G/LTE spectrum.<br />

Have your announcers and engineers been able to communicate effectively to<br />

provide support?<br />

Absolutely, engineers are only a video call away which has proven to be a great way to<br />

visually support and guide a user through any issue they might be experiencing.<br />

Have you been able to remote control codec equipment effectively?<br />

Yes, where available we are able to control our codecs remotely using the Cloud Codec<br />

Controller.<br />

How has your team of announcers and engineers adapted to working remotely?<br />

Remote broadcasting is part of our everyday work. It’s something we do regularly as the<br />

talent we have here in Melbourne are all heavily involved in Television and run on very<br />

tight schedules. We have always been prepared to have flexibility in place for talent who<br />

need to broadcast outside of the studio. Where it has been new for other people, they<br />

have taken to it surprisingly well.<br />

How has the equipment performed?<br />

The Tieline equipment has<br />

performed well for us, and provided<br />

we have the same microphones<br />

and processing as the studio, and<br />

a room with minimal reflections, it<br />

tends to not be too different at all to<br />

the studio sound.<br />

Do you foresee that broadcast<br />

workflows may change after the<br />

COVID-19 crisis?<br />

I think it could be totally up to the<br />

broadcaster. We may find that some<br />

may want to come back into the<br />

studio more often once restrictions<br />

ease.<br />
