Ideal Systems has announced a collaboration with NIN9 Studios in Singapore to offer commercial quality video podcast productions.
NIN9 Studios, a well-established commercial photography studio in Kallang, Singapore, has upgraded its studio with a new fitout from Ideal Systems to allow high quality video production and streaming for commercial podcasting. The new podcasting studio is based on Ideal Systems’ NDI reference architecture, centred on the VizRT Tricaster TC1 Pro with Tricaster Dual Flex Control Panel which provides top quality production and live streaming from multicamera (Birddog NDI HX X4 Ultra’s and DSLR’s) and multi audio channel inputs, with integral graphics, and teleprompting functionality running Telescript International teleprompter. The productions are shot in NIN9 Studios’ fixed studio or using virtual sets supported in the TriCaster. The Tricaster also enables Microsoft Teams and Zoom integration for live video conferencing within the podcast. The studio production control room (PCR) uses the CUBE R1 recorder system designed to capture and store high-quality video content from multiple NDI video sources.
Fintan Mc Kiernan, CEO of Ideal Systems Singapore, said: “Cost effectively upgrading a traditional photography studio into a full function video production studio for commercial podcasts is yet another case study highlighting the benefits and flexibility of NDI. Reduction of cost and ease of use allow Vinod and his team endless creative headroom in their productions, where they can leverage their years of photography experience to enhance the quality and look of their podcasts. Our collaboration with NIN9 Studios goes further than just the current fit out. NIN9 Studios will work with us to test and use new NDI products as they hit the market. Thus, this is more than just an NDI-based video production studio—it is in fact an NDI test lab, where we can benchmark and test cameras and other NDI infrastructure together.”
Vinod Rai Sharma stated: “The equipment and system provided by Ideal Systems has opened up a whole new business channel for us. Podcasting isn’t just a creative outlet—it offers real, measurable commercial benefits for businesses, brands, and individuals. High-end commercial podcasting is now becoming important for brand awareness, and creates monetisation opportunities through sponsorships and advertising while helping to attract new customers and enhance networking and partnerships through guest interviews with industry leaders and influencers. With this growing demand for video production and podcast content, we were quickly and easily able to upgrade our studio and extend our commercial offerings to new and existing customers. We already had the space and the studio lighting—we can even reuse our DSLR’s and lenses and convert them to NDI and mix with the camera feeds from the BirdDog cameras, giving us a great range of shots in our productions.”
