DeSisti

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.

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.
