Central New York's Premier Audio-Visual Service

Manlius Pebble Hill school graduation

The things that made live-streaming this ceremony unique and a challenge were:

  • Distance from school
  • Guest speaker was in New York City
  • Local radio station tower and power lines caused interference with PA system
  • Everything had to be COVID compliant

We had to run a 300-foot ethernet cable to get a wired network to our streaming location. Certain types of cable and signal handling had to be used for that.

On top of that, the guest speaker had to give the keynote speech from New York City. But at the same time, the local master of ceremonies and six other people had short speeches to give.

Incoming audio was then broadcast live to the people on the athletic field in their cars. Because of radio and power line interference, great attention had to be paid to cable lengths and power supply.

RE: COVID – Rather than give every speaker their own wireless microphone, we saved the client a lot of money by giving every speaker their own windscreen to put on the microphone as they got the podium. They would remove it when they were done speaking. This meant no one had to handle the same microphone.
