AVIWEST unveiled LiveGuest, a new video calls solution for live production applications. LiveGuest allows broadcasters to create content for audiences by inviting remote guests to join a live video call directly integrated with their production system. The solution does not require any web application or software.

AVIWEST LiveGuest is a complete video solution that is designed for delivering guest interviews, remote sports commentary, virtual press conferences and public expert contributions in real-time. VIP guests (those pre-invited to the broadcast) can click on an email link via laptop to appear on-air.

The LiveGuest solution can run on any web browser and also supports bidirectional video return, allowing the guests to receive, watch and hear content being produced in the studio. Automated echo cancellation capabilities ensure no feedback or audio echo is heard during the interview. With LiveGuest, video content is received in the studio by AVIWEST’s StreamHub and can then be sent over SDI, NDI or through multiple IP outputs such as SRT, TS or RTMP. The LiveGuest solution streams content delivery to all major social media platforms, including YouTube, Twitch and Facebook.
