As a small TV channel, we have to learn how to adapt.
In order to succeed, we must be innovative, creative,
and chose the best solutions to meet the expectations of our audience.
8 Mont-Blanc is a local TV channel
broadcast in France and Switzerland.
Live production is unique.
Everything moves very fast.
It is all a one-shot production. There is no option for editing.
Generally, it requires a lot of resources and technology.
The TV broadcasting industry is fairly traditional,
so we needed to innovate.
We simply had no choice,
we’ve made ourselves an innovation lab.
This allows us to both lower production costs and transform our work.
We invested in our teams through systems technology,
including mobile technologies such as 4G, 5G, and cloud computing.
It is an exciting job, though it can be stressful.
We need relevant,
adaptable technical solutions that meet today's requirements.
It all starts on the field.
As soon as we arrive,
we set up a mobile platform with a very light device.
There, we set up the DJI Mics,
one on host and the other one on the guest.
What's great about DJI Mic is that setup takes less than one minute
You take them out of the box and they are already on.
You just have to clip them onto your shirt.
Welcome to this special live
Welcome to the 8 Mont-Blanc Facebook page and on your TV.
On site, we are filming with our team of running cameramen.
They can run 5 km, 10 km, and even 20 km.
Therefore, they need a kit that is light enough to keep up with the best competitors
for the greatest possible distance.
DJI Osmo Mobile is the perfect tool for our fleet-footed cameramen.
My role is to immediately go to the takeoff spot
and capture images for the producing director.
That way, he can check and tell me
if the quality meets expectations.
I fly DJI FPV, which is very lively.
I stream with DJI Mavic 2 Pro and DJI RC Pro.
The great benefits of DJI RC Pro is its large,
very bright screen.
And above all, its HDMI output can be connected to a multi SIM box,
which allows us to send a video stream cleanly,
even in remote areas with a weak network signal.
Then it's up to the director
to choose which shot goes where.
and set a rhythm of giving indications
to the cameramen and drone operator.
In a few seconds, the images land on the audience’s screens.
Sometimes we have to shoot the same event with two cameras.
One sends the images, live and the other
records images in a slightly higher quality for an edited version
that will be finished later.
We were once stuck on a traditional TV model.
Now, we use streaming to meet audiences however they wish.
Today, we can say that DJI has revolutionized the way we work.
Every live broadcast is a new challenge.
At 8 Mont-Blanc we are very proud to accomplish them every day.
