Another product category that seems to be exploding here at the show is the video-switcher-with-built-in-streaming-server group. Panasonic, Sony, Roland, Grass valley, etc. all seem to be making one, in varying sizes and cost ranges. The combination of a multi-bus live event SEG with a streaming server is one that should be of great value to the rental segment of the industry, speeding setup and potentially eliminating a position at the control table. With the demand we now have to connect events remotely, this could be a good seller if they accommodate enough streaming formats and are easily controllable.
