Zest4.TV at London Fashion Week

Today Zest4.TV is at London Fashion Week. Partnering with award-winning streaming video provider Streaming Tank, Zest is providing vision mix and live ingest equipment to the TopShop collections at Old Billingsgate.

Simon Roe is on-site from Zest, working alongside Chris Dabbs from Streaming Tank. Pretzl Films are providing 4 x EX3 cameras recording at 720/50p. Zest4.TV is providing camera and comms cabling to feed its Panasonic AV-HS400AE vision mixer. The output from the mixer is being split into Streaming Tank's main and backup encoders for the live stream.

Simultaneously, we are recording the mixed footage on to XDCAM HD using a PMW-HD1500 record deck and ingesting on to our new live ingest machine. At the end of the 10 mins catwalk session, the footage is encoded to MP4 (H.264 codec) ready for encoding into multiple bitrates on the Streaming Tank encoders.
