Production Event Management (1) – manually ingest production data (DataMiner Jobs app)

This is the first use case in an 8-part series on Production Event Management. In this example, we’ll take a look at how the DataMiner Jobs app can be used to collect all administrative data you need to successfully manage an upcoming production. (We also have a demo video available on this topic: “From job to booking“.)

Orchestrating the full life cycle of a live production starts with gathering all data that is required for that production.

This includes the type of production (e.g. an HD or UHD production), the studio and control room with the whole production infrastructure (e.g. CCUs, processing equipment, video servers, graphic generators and monitors), but also signals (remote sources) and video and audio assets (e.g. graphic files and video clips). And don’t forget your staff, which needs to be reserved as well, just like a working desk for everybody involved in the production.

Fortunately, DataMiner creates a dynamic operator control interface, which also includes third-party equipment (e.g. hardware or software intercom panels, XY router control panels, multiviewers, etc.). These interfaces are always adjusted to the personal preferences of each operator and the production requirements. So as an operator, you simply log in with your credentials, and DataMiner will take care of the rest! DataMiner brings the production to the user as a consistent experience, regardless of the location.

In the past, studios, control rooms and desks had a rather fixed setup. But today, it’s all about sharing resources between studios, and re-configuring the studios and desk configurations—in just a few clicks. And it’s also about having the freedom to either work on premises or remotely. However, such flexibility also comes with complexity, which needs to be managed. So let’s have a look at how this can be done with DataMiner.
