What is a Static Event?
Static Events are one-camera broadcasts that enable you to stream from your existing location(s) without needing to schedule a Videographer.
As no Videographer is required, there is more flexibility for booking, meaning you can schedule up to 15 minutes before a stream. The camera will turn on at the scheduled start time and shut off at the scheduled end time, and the camera will remain framed on your pre-set "static" shot throughout the stream.
How do I schedule a Static Event?
Step by Step Instructions
- Start by logging into your customer dashboard and going to your Event Schedule.
- Click Add New Event, and select Static Event.
- Continue through the options in the scheduling flow to add event details, time, preferences, and streaming destinations.
- Click Finish to confirm the event. You will see a confirmation screen, including the event details and share link.
Why would I use a Static Event?
Use Static streams to broadcast events where you do not need dynamic video production, or if you miss the scheduling cutoff for booking a Produced Event.
FAQ
How much lead time do I need to provide when scheduling?
You may schedule a Static Event up to 15 minutes prior to the desired start time.
Which camera will be used during a static event?
Only one camera will be in use, typically the center camera. This camera is selected with your team during the Onboarding process.
How does a Static event end?
Static events end exactly at the scheduled end time. If you'd like to end your event early, you may do so directly on the Dashboard by following these instructions. If you'd like to continue your event past the scheduled end time, you may also do so directly on the Dashboard by following these instructions.
Are static events monitored?
No, they are not. You are always welcome to call support if you need assistance, but our team is specifically staffed only for Produced events.
How do I ensure my shot is framed correctly?
To view your static shot, you may run a Test Event (scheduled on the Dashboard) and view the broadcast on the web player link. For clients with an external monitor connected to their encoder, you may schedule a Record Only event and preview the image on the local monitor.
Please contact LiveControl Support if you require an adjustment to your Static shot.
