Lighting a Two-Person Interview with Two Lights For producers working with limited time, crew, and budgets, achieving professional-looking interviews can seem like a challenge. In this presentation, we’ll demonstrate how to light a two-person interview with just two affordable lights using the technique of cross-keying. By utilizing DeSisti’s SoftLED1-LITE-VW+RGB lights, softboxes, lightweight stands with gobo arms, and a bounce card, you’ll learn how to create a balanced, flattering look in minimal time—perfect for solo operators or small crews. This practical approach is tailored for PEG access producers who need efficient, high-quality results without relying on a large setup or significant equipment investment. Whether you’re shooting in a studio or on location, this session will give you the tools to light interviews effectively and professionally, all while saving time and resources.

Inside the Future of Live Production: A Post-NAB Showcase by Varto Technologies featuring Vizrt & LiveU

Join Varto Technologies—alongside Vizrt and LiveU—for a special Post-NAB 2025 showcase focused on the future of live video production. Presented in a fully operational environment, this session demonstrates how real-world workflows are transforming the way organizations create, manage, and deliver content across platforms. At the heart of the demonstration is the powerful TriCaster Vizion—switching between studio and remote sources, automating production tasks, and integrating seamlessly with Viz Flowics for live cloud-based graphics. You’ll see how a remote feed, captured via the LU800 multi-camera field unit, is brought into the production with ultra-low latency, enhanced with real-time visuals, and distributed simultaneously across broadcast, streaming, and social media. The setup mirrors a modern hybrid control room, powered by NDI 6, IP-based video, and flexible cloud infrastructure. Designed for broadcasters, municipal media teams, schools, houses of worship, corporate AV teams, and production companies. Live Q&A to follow. Presented by: Chris Burgos, Senior Presales Consultant, Vizrt; Alex Joyce, VP, Solution Sales Engineering, LiveU; Yervant Keshishian, Sales Engineer & Technical Director, Varto Technologies

LiveU

Drone as First Responders (DFR): How LiveU Powers Reliable Connectivity at Every Stage The way we think about emergency response is changing. For decades, the model remained largely the same: first, responders would be notified of an incident, then they would travel to the scene, assess the situation, formulate a plan, and finally take action. Every step took time, and decisions were often made without a clear picture of what awaited them. Drones, once a novelty, are now integral to a new approach to public safety—Drone as First Responder (DFR). With DFR, that traditional sequence is transformed. Drones can arrive on the scene in minutes—often faster than ground units—delivering real-time visual intelligence before first responders even arrive. This allows teams to start assessing the incident and formulating a response plan while en route, effectively collapsing the time between notification and action. Join LiveU to learn how IP video and drones keep DFR programs connected with uninterrupted visual intelligence. We will explain the value, show the workflow, and share in the field case examples of how the joint solution increased speed to response and operational performance, improved outcomes and enhanced safety – simply, securely and reliably.

Problem Solving Forum: Goals & Obstacles (Roundtable)

It’s important for every institution to set goals in order to grow and improve, but setting realistic goals and achieving them can be challenging. Those challenges can vary depending on the goal and what you are trying to achieve. In many cases achieving that goal depends on finding money, sometimes it’s knowing how to handle local politics; sometimes it’s understanding new technology; and sometimes it’s just a matter of not having enough personnel to execute new plans. This roundtable will be an interactive investigation on the ways JAG members have found to “sell” programs to councils; solved technical problems to reach a goal; or redeployed personnel to cover additional needs without adding staff. This roundtable will help you find ways to address those challenges. Panelist: Don Smith, Station Manager, Cranford TV; Craig Yetsko, Station Manager, North Brunswick TV; Anthony Pagliuco, Station Manager, East Brunswick; Moderator Geoffery Belinfante, External Relations Chair, JAG

Partners Dinner Sponsored by Switchboard

JAG realized early that we needed to partner with as many towns as possible to deal with all the obstacles that were keeping stations from reaching their potential. That concept of partners continued to be a main focus in developing JAG. This included JAG joining organizations that were battling legislative controls that would have a negative impact on community media distribution in NJ. We also recognize the need to develop relationships with vendors for assistance in building and updating our facilities. This evening key representatives responsible for JAG’s development will share their thoughts about their partnership with JAG and our future together. Thank you to our guests for their support and believing in JAG’s mission. Welcome: Bob Duthaler, President of JAG; Host: Rich Desimone, Managing Director, JAG; Guest speakers: Jesse Lerman, President/CEO, TelVue Corporation; Rudy Ellis, CEO, Switchboard, Mike Wassenaar, President & CEO, Alliance for Community Media, Paul DeStefano, Northeast Regional Sales Manager, DeSisti Lighting; Varto Keshishian, Owner, President, Varto Technologies
