It's no easy feat to record a high-quality event onsite, nevermind recording the same event virtually.

Blaze Streaming Media are professionals at streaming and recording virtual events. Before the pandemic, they recorded speakers and presenters at conventions or other live events physically onsite. When the pandemic hit, the recording had to become just as virtual as the events they were capturing. With the help of Riverside, Blaze Streaming Media turned themselves into experts at remotely recording events without compromising video quality.

While Blaze Streaming Media produces live events, these often include pre-recorded materials such as keynotes, breakouts, and more. It’s essential for them to record these in the best quality possible and that all recordings look and sound professional for their clients.

The challenge was finding the right virtual recording tool that didn’t compromise Blaze Streaming Media’s professional standards. They needed a solution to record in high resolution and screen share slides or presentations while still providing enough production control. This led to a few boxes to tick off and little success in finding a virtual tool that met all their needs until they finally came across Riverside.

Besides being easy to use, Riverside offers screen recording in addition to recording video and audio. This was ideal for Blaze Streaming Media, as they often record events that include slides and other presentations. Director, and Project Lead, Peter Schmidt mentions that “being able to record both the slides and the camera was huge” for them.

Kimberly Gehl pointed out that she enjoyed Riverside’s studios which they used to separate recording rooms for production. Here, they assigned stage managers and producers to keep track of everything behind the scenes with Riverside’s Producer Mode. This allows users to enter studio sessions without being recorded, making it great for producers to comment and guide interviewees without worrying about messing up the recording. Producers can also adjust audio levels and see their guests’ camera and microphone inputs.

Peter adds, “Being able to have either a single person with slides come in, or a couple of people with slides, or five or six people as a panel, and to get that higher quality out of everything has been fantastic, and it seems like every other platform or service that we use tends to fall short in at least one of those areas.”

One platform, all the tools for virtual recording

Riverside stood out to Blaze Streaming Media because it ticked many boxes. The platform’s high-quality local recordings enabled them to record interviewees at up to 4K resolution no matter where they were. Recordings are captured directly from the user’s device and not over the Internet, so no connection issues get in the way of quality content. This helped Blaze Streaming Media remotely record speakers from the US, Germany, China, and India in high-quality resolution regardless of the distance.

Riverside’s local recordings can be downloaded as separate audio and video tracks for each participant, enabling more post-production control. For Blaze Streaming Media’s Production Manager and Live Stream Director Kimberly Gehl, this ISO recording feature was critical in producing results clients would be happy with.
