Same Day Video production for Sacramento, Chico and Redding.
​Starting #2021 with more #VideoProduction and #Content #Creation. With so many ongoing issues going unnoticed, it's important to get the word out efficiently and professionally. We were happy to help a #local Sacramento entrepreneur share his solutions for providing shelter, as well as #affordable housing, for the homeless. This was a #talkshow style shoot with multiple #cameras, recorded #live to #disk.
​With all #graphics, #audio and #direction recorded live in a #onetake - this allowed for the client to shoot multiple shows within the allotted time and receive a #sameday product to publically share as soon as they like.
 
While #staying #safe and putting our equipment through detailed sanitization processes after each shoot... We're taking the guess work out of #efficient and professional video #production.

Typical Teleconference For Virtual Business

12/4/2020

0 Comments

 
A lot of customers today are doing their research on the value of using a DIY App, or hiring a professional firm to maintain and assist with their teleconferencing projects and virtual meetings. To those who are considering hiring a firm, the question comes down to a matter of "footprint".
Question: "Just how many people and how much equipment does it take to run a streaming teleconference?"
The "general" answer;
about 1 to 2 people, with equipment that they can pack in on a single trip!

​On a simple aside, one of the biggest things we consider at 22nd Avenue - is not only the efficiency of the gear we use... but also the transportation methods needed to get to a project site. One of the things we are most proud of, is that we've been able to reduce our transportation footprint for streaming teleconferences into a sub-compact vehicle. 
teleconference and streaming for business with minimal crew
With electric vehicles on the waiting list for our production group, we're proud to be doing what we can to ensure that we are using the "right tool for the job"... while not wasting fuel and creating unnecessary emissions for projects that can benefit from a smaller vehicle.
lightweight and single person streaming and teleconference for business and governments
​For setup times; we prefer at least one hour prior to your meeting. Most meetings will benefit from a three-camera setup, with up to six microphones. Depending on the equipment available on-site, we also will provide screens up to 55" so that participants may be seen during the teleconference.
 
Once we go live, the technician will help moderate the meeting if needed - directing public comments and feedback where appropriate.
 
Once the meeting concludes, pack-out usually takes 15 to 30 minutes and we are on the road shortly after.
Are you considering the potentials of what a virtual event and teleconference streaming can do for your productivity? Give us a call today, or fill out a contact request through our teleconference page today. We're looking forward to seeing what solutions we can help with.

Flawless Zoom Meetings and Virtual Conferences

11/3/2020

0 Comments

 
​We were approach by a private insurance group for a virtual meeting solution, which was seamless and trouble free.
 
Before coming to us, they had tried to used their laptops in a zoom meeting space - keeping some board members 6 feet apart - while connecting other board members remotely via Zoom.
 
This approach introduced unreliable results, with bad feedback between microphones (e.g. that high pitched squealing noise) and constant audio problems between the remote participants and the boardroom attendees.

​In addition to audio, there were pitfalls in sharing remote presentations - such as power-points, documents and online videos.

The solution 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics provided was a "two-room" conference, which separated local and remote audio - immediately creating clarity and more control over the quality. All participants were able to hear clearly.

This was accomplished with high-end switching equipment by Blackmagic Design and Kramer Electronics.

​For the video aspect, we added a second projection screen to feature additional attendees, as well as act as a dedicated screen for remote presentations. This allowed for participants in the boardroom, to see the presentation clearly from remote virtual presenters.

The solution was scalable, which also allows for the client to opt in for future purchasing and/or additional rooms to allow for "close sessions", "virtual break-out rooms" and much more.

We're excited to stand with #WeMakeEvents as a cause which we voiced concern in our blog (Our 5/4/2020 post) and have watched as professionals in our industry have come together to raise awareness for an entire industry... seemingly left out in the cold.
The goal of #RedAlert RESTART is to urge Congress to vote for the RESTART Act and to support the efforts of ExtendPUA.org by pushing for an extension and expansion of PUA benefits for 1099 and freelance workers, i.e. independent contractors; and an extension of the $600 FPUC as part of a comprehensive pandemic relief package.

Drive-In Weddings - now livestreaming?

8/10/2020

0 Comments

 
To help keep our community safe, the idea of Drive-In Wedding's have become a thing... but there are many ways to approach the concept. The biggest challenge in a drive-in wedding, we believe, is still creating the moment of attendance. The couple getting married wants to know you're there... and in that... the guests want to ​see everything.
It's not something to just "Produce a Wedding Video" anymore... everything needs to happen in real-time... live. From aerial drone shots, to smiles and laughter...  it all happens live and in real-time.
We produce live drive in wedding video!
This is something the experts at 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics created a solution for! We've already created solutions for live event streaming... why not apply that same approach to a live drive in wedding?

This clip was taken from a recent drive-in wedding livestream we produced.

​With the realization of adapting to "socially distant events" - 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics was approached to create a drive-in solution for a wedding.

With the challenge of flat ground, we determined the most economical alternative for sight-lines would be to deploy an ultra low-latency stream (glass-to-glass) system for viewers in their vehicles to connect to directly - with a Short-Range FM Broadcast for those who wanted to sit outside on their vehicles.

We utilized a second streaming backup (low-latency) for viewers at home and in other Countries.

Our solution provided real-time video and production, as well as market/string lighting, uplighting, live audio/concert sound, staging, drape and power. As well as on-site data via cellular bonders (masts at 30').

The entire package was presented on a private link for families and friends to watch across the country and in Mexico.

Every best effort was made to ensure families were together, while relatives and guests were distant... while still enjoying the celebration of this beautiful moment.

We were happy to be a part of the solution... and wish the very best to Abdiel and Fatima as they start their new life together!

Outside Virtual Classroom Concept. In-Person, outdoors, socially distant... with Teleconference capability!
With the warm weather here and currently no end in sight to the coronavirus pandemic, we have designed a potential solution to outside education, with socially distant learning as the first thought!

One of the challenges of being outdoors is: 1) reliable power and 2) reliable audio visual. 

Our concept includes solar powered battery generators, a bonded cellular LTE wi-fi system, an outdoor-class 10 ft LED screen, a lectern, sound system and Smart PTZ Camera system.

These concepts could migrate into an all weather surrounding, with vented tenting and outdoor climate control. 

Users of this outdoor meeting space concept, will find it very user-friendly and state-of-the-art with regard to audio-visual. All of the expected comforts of connectivity and BYOD (bring your own device) as well as ample power charging devices made possible through solar batteries, would allow for enough connectivity to last well over an 8-hour educational day.

Adapting a Blackmagic Decklink Mini Recorder two small form factor

5/16/2020

0 Comments

 
As the covid-19 crisis continues on we have continued to enhance our video production and live streaming services. As we have helped other vendors and competitors with their live streaming setups, one of the most important aspects of in studio and on-site streaming for video is tablespace. 

With the ability to have a smaller production footprint, not only is this more aesthetic for clients not... This allows for a faster deployment and a faster strike. 
For the sake of efficiency, we use the Blackmagic Decklink Mini Recorder. This is an excellent resource card which works both in HDMI and SDI captures. 

One of the nice things regarding the Blackmagic Decklink Mini Recorder card is that it comes with a small form-factor adapter. The challenge we found was finding the correct hex screw and or allen wrench to remove the two binding screws.
The question:
What type of bit do I need to attach the small form factor plate to my card?

The answer:
HEX 3/32

How do I change the Blackmagic Deckline Mini to a small form factor card?

Reopening the economy for the entertainment industry - when?

5/4/2020

0 Comments

 
As the title suggests, it is more of a conversation starter than an answer. Our friends, employees and competitors all really want to get back to what we find purpose in. Before covid-19, our industry was the champion of causes... From non for profit charities, to the displaced families of wildfires... The entertainment industry was there to put on the show and rally around a cause.
It felt great because we were contributing as an industry. ​
...and now we find the very mechanism behind what could bring us all together... Is what continues to keep us apart. 
From a competition standpoint, it was great to have that friendly banter between vendors... Strategizing who got what tour, what vendor was buying the latest "rig" and even the occasional rentals from each other during peak season for one-offs. 
 
It seemed like family and it was in a day gone by where we were all sort of revered as "the good guys". ​
...and now we find the very mechanism behind what could bring us all together... Is what continues to keep us apart. 
As States start to determine the best ways to re-open their economies and keep the public safe, the entertainment industry still finds itself a long way out from "reopening". It is a societal mindset which has also changed how we view public gatherings. 
 
When this all clears will we as a society think twice about large gatherings? How will the "New Normal" look 6 to 12 months down the road from this writing? 
 
These questions, along with many more, are conversations we consider daily as we read the news and evaluate the landscape of our industry. ​

Sadly, however, when the rest of these States "reopen"... We would like to remind the public that the entertainment and hospitality industries will appear to be the last on those lists. ​

Regardless; for the sake of society and the good of community... We all look forward to the days of group hugs and large crowds... 
 
... but until then, we'll be here... Ready to provide the uniting pieces of what makes the moment... An experience. 
The very best, 
All of us at 22nd Avenue ​

One of the biggest challenges facing the teleconference and streaming community, is control over their audience! For virtual public meetings, a conference call isn't always the most ideal solution. We're providing tiered solutions for both video and audio teleconferences... which allow moderators to control who's in a room and ensure everyone is heard.
 
One of our PM's, Jeremy Flynn, took some time to share a working flow-chart with the public as to our approach with public meetings and teleconferences. Our hope is that this information will help other in-house communications and I.T. Professionals looking for their own solutions.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and what we are doing.

3/18/2020

0 Comments

 
An update to our customers, clients and friends,
​On behalf of everyone at 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics, we want to express our deepest sympathy for those afflicted by the coronavirus and extend our heartfelt sympathy to people around the world who have lost loved ones to this illness or are battling it themselves.
​We share our gratitude to the healthcare and public health professionals — as well as leaders at the local, state, national and international levels — who are working tirelessly to protect us all.
​The health and safety of our customers and clients is a top priority for us. We continue to implement best practices with our existing communication projects regarding heightened cleaning, sanitation and disinfecting protocols used to combat the spread of COVID-19.
​We have reinforced guidance at the shop and production level, ensuring high-contact surfaces (such as microphones, computers, road cases and podiums) are frequently sanitized and have emphasized health authority recommendations concerning respiratory etiquette and social distancing. In doing so, we have limited the amount of personnel assigned to projects as well as implemented a "single-chain-of-possession" approach to handling equipment, minimizing multiple contacts.
"we have limited the amount of personnel assigned to projects... {and} implemented a "single-chain-of possession" approach to handling equipment,"
​We have ramped up our teleconference and streaming meeting services, with the same best practices mentioned above, to ensure we help with maintaining productivity for our clients and their businesses.
We are monitoring CDC, Local and State Government channels to provide around-the-clock guidance and support to our clients and staff as needed.
​
While the current coronavirus situation presents new challenges, one thing has not changed over the course of our history in finding solutions: our commitment to our clients and their visions. For those who have postponed or cancelled public projects, when the time does come for you to do business again, we are ready to welcome you and your awesome ideas.
Lastly, we want to recognize, as a fellow humans, these are unprecedented times. But stay calm, and know that humanity has made it through these events before, and we'll make it through again. Don't stay constantly glued to the TV (or social media), go outside and take walks (that's still ok!), but do keep your distance—flattening the curve by #StayingHome is real, and will help save lives in your community.
Thank you so much for your continued business as we navigate these unprecedented times together.
Sincerely,
The 22nd Avenue Team

What can a digital teleconference do for you?

3/9/2020

0 Comments

 
One of the of the most vital aspects to a teleconference, is presence. With a lot of confusion out there regarding how this works, it can be simply summed up as "Streaming with the ability to have a conversation".
​
22nd Avenue provides true two-way collaboration for meetings and conferences, through a variety of platforms. Where we are different from the rest, is that we provide the needed equipment to ensure your project launches successfully.
Here's How It Works:
​You are tasked with holding a public meeting or hearing where the public would be invited to ask questions and/or review information in real time. The public would be able to observe the same stream, in real-time, while also communicating at the appropriate time via text chat, voice or video. The meeting can be saved, published or dictated for text records.
streaming and teleconference for businesses. Looking to minimize crew and contact?
What is available on the market today:
With most solutions on the market today, you could download a third-party app and instruct your viewers to download the app as well and collaborate that way. Or, you could opt for a one-way streaming service and then field questions via twitter or other forms of social media.
​
These are great economical solutions, which can help a business or agency get out there and engage their public. However, these solutions can be difficult to deploy and troubleshoot without the correct equipment or personnel.
How we are different:
With Broadcast Solutions by 22nd Avenue, we provide the entire software and hardware solution on a project, temporary or long-term basis. There's no need to determine what equipment to buy, how to source audio, or what app's to download. We provide all cameras, switching, routing and even the internet (if needed).
 
We provide a simple web-based link for everyone to connect through, which can also be password protected.
​
Plus, if your project calls to be shared with the general public, we can even integrate with all social media platforms - Live and in Real-Time. If you have a presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or even Instagram - we can broadcast a stream to that account!

In 2020, Focus Groups are still going strong. When a company or a private individual is paying good money for research data, it’s important that researchers are able to analyze that data in real-time or have pristine records to refer to.

Many times, this responsibility falls on the audiovisual vendor.

As audiovisual experts with over 30+ years in the business, we’ve been working with Focus Group Researchers to provide custom solutions for their polling needs.
​
From a simple two-camera CCTV, recorded and delivered same-day; to remote streaming to multiple locations globally, with viewing rooms, two-way communication and playback for groups. Whatever your project calls for, we’re looking to build relationships and custom solutions for our clients.
Example Focus Group Case Study
​

A client representing a major power utility company approached us with a project, where they needed to present the focus group study in real-time to three locations in the United States. In addition to the real-time National connection, they also needed a local viewing solution for associates on-site.
Focus Group management and audiovisual experts
The challenge for us was that the venue was a boutique hotel with poor Wi-Fi and internet options – as well as limited connectivity for power in critical locations.

After evaluating the site for the focus group studies, we determined that a cellular bonder would be the best option for data and streaming. This would allow for us to provide our own internet service on-site, without worrying about the local venue’s connection speed and reliability.
Completely independent of venue power.
Secondly, we determined that utilizing 12v broadcast monitors on c-stands would allow for the self-contained placement of viewing from virtually anywhere in the venue. With the average battery life of this screens being between 4-6 hours, it made for an ideal viewing session. Batteries would then be replaced between sessions for another round of focus groups.
PTZ Cameras for Focus Groups and technical operation planning.
Using PTZ Camera's for remote video during focus groups.
​Lastly, to connect the cameras, we used a tuned wireless protocol over IP for our PTZ function as well as wireless SDI equipment to transmit signal to the viewing room. We provided boundary microphones and wireless lav (Lavaliere) microphones, which connected through the wireless camera stream, for perfectly clear audio.
​This allowed us to remain out of sight of the focus groups and be in direct communication with the research associates in the viewing room. The collaboration between 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics and the research team ensured that the research group’s clients received a precise product that was reliable and specific to their needs.
Serving the entire Western United States and portions of the East Coast, 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics is the right choice for professional results when it comes to your most challenging projects. For researchers, focus groups or anything in between – give us a call, or contact us, for your next audiovisual rental or production need.

Using the QSC K10.2 on Stage

1/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Since the K10.2 debuted, we have been fans of this powered speaker from day one. Originally thought of as a utilitarian speaker for premium sound indoors, we had started to utilize this speaker and a variety of other applications. 
QSC k10.2 are a great utilitarian speaker for live sound applications and events all around
Before we go any further, it's super important to note that proper EQ and compression on the mixing console side is essential. Dictating from the console side your sound in live applications, truly allows you to get the most out of these awesome speakers. 
Another reason why we dig the K10.2 over the K8.2 and K12.2 series truly comes down to size versus function. There has not yet been an application the speaker hasn't been able to handle.
​ 
Granted, most professional riders are going to be asking for a minimum of 12in drivers for their wedges; but sadly most professional riders aren't going to request speakers made by QSC (which we rant about in another blog). 
QSC K10.2 next to 22nd Avenue Van - use for live sound applications
​The biggest plus in outdoor live sound applications is the ability to delay your signal path right at the speaker level. Granted some engineers would prefer to have delay and timing control at the mix position, but for most Civic and medium-sized public events (between 10,000 to 15,000 people) the quick and dirty approach is perfect. 
​Also note the size of the total attendance. We have used the K10.2 in fairground settings as a playback and paging system combined with excellent results. Ideally, doubling the cabs with at least 10 feet of height will ensure there's plenty of sound pressure. 
​On stage, we have used a set of k10s partnered with proper concert subs - as an excellent FOH for smaller events of roughly 300 people. Adding one more cab per side increases your ability to handle about 500 people. 
For live sound and outdoor events, often times we're recommending the QSC K10.2
The QSC K10.2 can be used as a monitor wedge, just not for drummers and bassists.
​As monitor wedges, the k10s have worked well for pop bands, folk bands and even psychobilly bands! Even though it has worked in the past, the only position we would not recommend the k10.2 is as a drummers wedge or bass guitarist wedge. 
​In a pinch, if you have extra active subs and/or some other means of getting that overactive "punch" which musicians really need to hear on stage... Then go for it. 
​From a premium sound standpoint, QSC gets a lot of negative press from PRO sound community. We understand that. But next to the RCF hd12s (which we will be working with this season), we have not been able to find a floor standing cab between the $600 and $700 dollar price range which delivers as much power and value as the QSC K10.2. 
Indoor use of a pair of QSC K10.2 active speakers are no problem for up to 300 people
​With that being said, if you are seriously considering the K10.2 as your next purchase (assuming you already have the capability to properly control the tone and dynamics of your sound, mix wise)... You are going to be extremely happy with the versatility of your purchase. 
Don't take our word for it though, schedule a rental of a QSC sound system package today!

With the New Year almost here, a lot of parties and events are outside under tents. Either with the caterer, or even the band - having a large tent outdoors to accommodate all of your guests is an excellent way to go.
Wedding and Event Lighting for your tents and outdoor parties
In addition to getting your sound and stage lighting needs taken care of, many clients come to us for the precise setup of market lighting (or as some call it, string lighting or popcorn lighting). It's a great way to add ambiance, while also providing the function of needed light when it's dark!
​At 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics, we go the extra mile providing precise lengths which are custom cut to fit. Symmetrical designs and a triple-check on each bulb to ensure there's not a single "annoying" light which is hanging there without light. It's these important attentions to detail that we take pride in. Plus, with different globe sizing options as well as up-lighting options to add to your next event - give the experts in entertainment a call to discuses you next event.
Call for New Year 2020 and mention this blog for a special year-end rate, plus free-delivery! (For all New Year events!).

We're looking forward to your business.
