Live production that doesn't need managing.
Broadcast-grade streaming, IMAG and multi-camera production for festivals, arena tours, councils and universities. Our crew, our kit, and failover for everything.
People we've worked with
The kit we use
Live streaming
Multi-camera broadcast, anywhere in the UK.
To YouTube, Teams, Vimeo or your own player. Redundant encoders, redundant uplinks and a clean recording of everything, regardless of what the stream did.
Connectivity either way
A dedicated, tested venue line gets used where there is one, and it is often the best route. Guest WiFi never carries a broadcast, and bonded 4G, 5G and Starlink travel with us either way.
Captions and BSL
Live captions and in-vision BSL are planned in from the first conversation, including a green screen position where the signer needs one. Deliberate, not bolted on the week before.
Archive you can use
A programme record on every job, so you have the show as it was cut. Chaptered archives, highlights and accessible transcripts on request.
Live production & IMAG
Main stage. Conference hall. Council chamber. Anywhere.
LED screens, vision mixing and camera crews for festivals, touring shows and conferences, with a simultaneous stream output if you want one.
Who we work with
The kit is the same. The job isn't.
An AGM and a graduation use similar cameras and the same crew. What changes is what you need to get right, and who notices if it goes wrong.
Why dwmedia
You have enough to manage.
You won't be chasing us
Risk assessments, PAT certificates and confirmations arrive before you ask. On the day we get on with it.
Everything has a backup
Redundant encoders and duplicate uplinks. Problems get solved before the audience sees one.
One crew, one invoice
Cameras, screens, broadcast audio, captions and connectivity from the same team. One contact, nobody pointing fingers at 6am.
Procurement-ready
Insurance, method statements and itemised quotes formatted to drop straight into your process.
Pricing
A fixed price, before you commit anything.
Tell us the date, the venue and roughly what you need. After a proper conversation you get an itemised quote, and it doesn't move unless your event does.
Step one
Instant estimate
Four questions online gives you a ballpark in about a minute. No email, no sales call.
Step two
Thirty minute call
We tell you what we would bring and why. If we are wrong for the job we will say so.
Step three
Itemised quote
Kit, crew, travel and contingency listed separately, ready for procurement.
Questions people ask first.
How do you handle connectivity on site?
We assess what is already there. A dedicated, tested venue line is often the best route and we are happy to use one. Shared guest WiFi is not used for anything production-critical. Bonded 4G, 5G and Starlink come with us on every job as failover, and sites with no usable infrastructure at all are run entirely on our own connectivity.
How much does a live stream cost?
It depends on cameras, crew days and travel, but you will never get a vague answer. The estimator gives you a ballpark in a minute, and a written itemised quote follows once we have talked through the event.
Can you handle captions and BSL?
Yes. Live captions and in-vision British Sign Language are planned into the production from the start, rather than added the week before, which is usually why they end up looking like an afterthought.
Will we get the recording afterwards?
A programme record comes as standard, so you have the show as it was cut. Separate recording paths, edited highlights, chaptered archives and accessible transcripts are available as extras.
How far do you travel?
Anywhere in the UK. We are based in Ashington, Northumberland, and the trailer is regularly out as far as London, Cornwall and Glasgow. Travel is itemised so there are no surprises.
Are you insured, with the paperwork to prove it?
Public liability, employers liability, risk assessments, method statements and PAT certification all get sent across before the event without you having to ask, which matters if you are running a procurement process.
Tell us about your event.
Thirty minutes and you will know exactly what we would bring, what it costs and whether we are the right people for it.
