San Francisco Media Group created the first independent live shot facility in San Francisco and we’ve hosted myriads of Bay Area celebrities, business leaders and political pundits for national and international networks.
Studio A and Studio B are available around the clock, seven days a week serving networks in domestic and international time zones. The studios have an HVAC system with a UV-C light filtration system.
The control room sends signal out by The Switch and LTN networks in addition to IP based transports via our 250Mbps internet connection. We also have the option of satellite relay if needed. We have a variety of switching solutions from BlackMagic Designs, NewTek, and vMix to enhance your show with features like adding live video footage or PowerPoint roll-ins, sending signal out to live stream host sites, creating and layering lower thirds or compositing in a virtual set.
Both Studio A and Studio B are pre-lit and come equipped with remote controlled Panasonic PTZ 4K cameras, teleprompters and audio gear at the ready. A monitor situated behind your talent can be programmed to run a hi-res graphic or video – or you can choose from video in our stock.
If preferred, we can assemble a practical set from several modular set pieces allowing for different “looks.”
The studios were created for live interviews but they are perfectly suited for hosting media training, recording taped speeches for meetings, forums, websites or other video packages. They are frequently sought by broadcasts media relations experts for media tours. The studios are available by the hour for live shots, or by the half or full day for other sorts of production. Rental includes access to the cafe, green room and atrium and includes cleaning and disinfecting service done before and after each guest use.
Studio A and B are also a perfect location to create professional quality video for seated live stream presentations, zoom or skype calls.
