TeleSouth Launches SuperTalkTV
TeleSouth Media installed five PTZOptics 20X-SDI cameras to help broadcast select radio shows on the stations website. The media company is currently streaming three shows, Monday through Friday, and two shows each Saturday. The audio engineers, who are also co-hosts, have the ability to switch the cameras and operate the IP joystick as needed from the control room.
TeleSouth Media launched SuperTalk TV in April of 2019. SuperTalk TV is an HD video stream originating from the Jackson studios for The Gallo Radio Show, The JT Show and Good Things with Rebecca Turner.
The pictures below shows the SuperTalk TV show as it is produced live. This LCD monitor is used as a confidence monitor available for guests to see what is going on in the main broadcast area. Each PTZOptics camera is wall mounted securely to the drywall using an HCM-1 HuddleCamHD wall mount. Each camera is powered with a single ethernet cable and video is sent using 3G-SDI cabling.
- Easy to Operate: Each PTZOptics camera can be controlled with the click of a mouse in vMix. vMix provides thumbnail images for the co-host to quickly reference.
