Video production and streaming by First Impact for SiGMA.
Core service
Live streaming & broadcast production
When the people watching online matter as much as the people in the room, the stream needs direction, clean audio and a plan for when conditions change.
Live streaming and broadcast production turns an event, a town hall or a studio session into a directed program for an online audience. It combines cameras, audio, graphics, presentation sources and remote guests into one mixed feed, delivers it to your platform and records it. A standard video meeting sends a webcam; a production directs what the audience sees and hears.
Who it is for
- Corporate and internal communications teams running town halls and leadership broadcasts
- Marketing teams producing webinars, launches and customer events
- HR teams streaming trainings, onboarding and company-wide meetings
- Event organizers who want online audiences to follow conferences and awards
- Agencies and producers who need a broadcast crew in Mexico
When it is useful
- A CEO or leadership update watched by employees in several countries
- A conference or awards ceremony streamed to a registration platform or social channel
- A webinar series that should look and sound consistent every time
- A program that combines a studio, a stage and remote interviews
- A second stream (interviews, a different language or a different room) running alongside the main program
What the scope may include
A stream is only as good as what feeds it. The scope may cover any of these, depending on the program:
Camera capture
Operated and PTZ cameras with angles planned for the program, not just the stage.
Audio for broadcast
A separate broadcast mix, so the online audience hears speakers clearly rather than the room’s PA.
Switching and live direction
A director and switcher operator cut cameras, slides, video and graphics as the program happens.
Graphics
Lower thirds, titles and holding slides from your design package, played live.
Remote speaker integration
Guests joining by Zoom, Teams or similar brought into the program as a clean source, with return audio so they can hear the room.
Encoding and platform delivery
Delivery to the platform you already use (YouTube, Vimeo, Teams, Zoom, a registration or private platform), subject to its supported inputs.
Connectivity
Review of the venue’s internet, dedicated lines where available and backup connections planned in proportion to the risk.
Recording
Program and camera recordings captured locally, independent of the stream.
Two different protections
Recording backup is not live failover
These are separate measures, and a proposal should say which ones are included.
Recording backup
The program is recorded locally (often on two recorders). If the stream drops, the content still exists and can be published afterwards. It does not keep the live audience watching.
Live transmission protection
Measures that keep the live stream running: a second internet connection, bonded or cellular links, a backup encoder or a secondary stream destination. What is feasible depends on the venue and platform.
No connection or system can be guaranteed. We plan protections in proportion to how costly an interruption would be, and we tell you what is and is not covered.
What requires separate confirmation
These depend on your platform, your accounts or third parties, so we confirm them per project:
- Platform licences, accounts and streaming keys (usually provided by you)
- Registration, ticketing and attendee management
- Dedicated internet lines, which depend on the venue and provider lead times
- Interpretation, captioning or subtitles
- Editing, highlight videos and post-event versions
- Hosting recordings on a website or platform after the event
How planning and delivery work
Brief and platform check
We confirm the audience, the platform, who controls the account and what inputs it accepts.
Technical review
Cameras, audio, graphics, remote guests and connectivity are planned around the program.
Scope and proposal
A written scope lists inclusions, exclusions and which protections apply.
Tests and rehearsal
We test the venue connection and the platform, and rehearse with speakers and remote guests where possible.
Live broadcast
Directed program, monitored stream and local recording throughout.
Agreed deliverables
Recordings and any agreed edits are delivered in the agreed format and timeframe.
What determines the price
Streaming budgets are driven by the production, not by the stream itself:
- Number of cameras and whether there are operators or PTZ cameras
- Number of remote speakers and locations
- Number of simultaneous streams and destinations
- Graphics, playback and presentation complexity
- Connectivity and the level of backup required
- Production hours, rehearsals and test sessions
- Recording, editing and post-event deliverables
Share a budget range in your brief and we will propose a scope that fits it, with the trade-offs of each option.

Frequently asked questions
How is professional streaming different from a standard video meeting?
A video meeting transmits a webcam and a microphone; a professional stream transmits a directed program. Production adds cameras, broadcast audio, graphics, presentation control, live switching, monitoring and local recording.
Teams and Zoom are still useful as platforms or as a way to bring in remote speakers. The difference is what you feed into them and who is watching the output.
Live Streaming & Broadcast Production · Microsoft Teams vs Professional Event Broadcasting
What determines platform compatibility?
Compatibility depends on what inputs the platform accepts, how the account is configured and who controls it. Some platforms take a standard streaming input (such as RTMP or SRT); meeting platforms like Teams or Zoom work differently and depend on meeting settings and permissions.
Send us the platform name, the account owner and any delivery specifications early. We confirm the connection method, video and audio formats and a test slot before agreeing the final workflow.
What internet connection does a livestream require?
A livestream needs a stable, preferably dedicated, wired upload connection with headroom above the stream’s bitrate. Stability matters more than the headline speed in the venue’s brochure.
The right figure depends on the number of streams, their quality and any remote speakers sharing the line. We test the actual connection at the venue and, when the risk justifies it, plan a second connection.
How Much Internet Bandwidth Does Professional Livestreaming Need?
What happens if connectivity fails?
What happens depends on the protections agreed for your event. With a backup connection or a bonded/cellular link, the stream can switch over; without one, the stream may drop while the local program and recording continue.
We agree the protections and the response plan in advance, including who informs the audience and what the room sees, so the team knows what to do if it happens. No connection can be guaranteed, and the proposal states what is and is not covered.
What is the difference between recording backup and live failover?
A recording backup protects the content; live failover protects the live audience’s viewing. They are different measures.
Recording the program locally (often on two recorders) means the content exists even if the stream drops, so it can be published afterwards. Live failover means the stream itself keeps running, for example through a second connection, a backup encoder or a secondary destination. A proposal should say which of these is included.
Can recordings and replay delivery be included?
Yes. We can record the program and individual cameras and deliver the files after the event in an agreed format and timeframe.
Editing, highlight versions, subtitles and hosting a replay page are separate items that we quote when you need them.
Can remote speakers participate?
Yes. We bring remote speakers into the room and the program through Zoom, Teams or a similar platform, with return audio so they can hear the room and follow cues.
Results depend on the speaker’s connection, camera, microphone and lighting, so we recommend a technical check with each remote speaker before the event and keep a fallback for their content, such as a pre-recorded version, when the moment is critical.
