Abstract

The present invention describes systems and methods for remote video production. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides a remote video production system including a first portal. The first portal includes a number of ports, the ports configured to receive taking place at a studio. Furthermore, the first portal includes a multiplexer configured to communication signals from equipment designed to capture a performance combine the communication signals into a transport stream. Additionally, the first portal includes at least one transmitter configured to transmit the transport stream to a location remote from the first portal.

Claims

1. A remote video production system, comprising:

a first portal comprising;

a plurality of ports, the plurality of ports configured to receive a plurality of communication signals from a plurality of equipment designed to capture a first performance taking place at a studio;

a multiplexer configured to combine the plurality of communication signals into a transport stream; and

at least one transmitter in configured to transmit the transport stream to a location remote from the first portal.

2. The remote video production system according to claim 1, further comprising a second portal in the location remote from the first portal configured to receive the transport stream.

3. The remote video production system according to claim 2, wherein the second portal includes a de-multiplexer, the de-multiplexer configured to separate the transport stream into the plurality of communication signals.

4. The remote video production system according to claim 3, wherein the second portal is configured to communicate the plurality of communication signals to a control room.

5. The remote video production system according to claim 2, wherein the second portal is configured to communicate a control signal to the first portal, the control signal providing controls and instructions to the plurality of equipment at the studio.

6. The remote video production system according to claim 1, wherein the first portal is configured to receive a plurality of communication signals from a second performance.

7. The remote video production system according to claim 6, wherein the multiplexer of the first portal is configured to combine the plurality of communication signals from both the first performance and the second performance into the transport stream.

8. The remote video production system according to claim 6, wherein the multiplexer of the first portal is configured to combine the plurality of communication signals from the first performance into a first transport stream and to combine the plurality of communication signals from the second performance into a second transport stream.

9. The remote video production system according to claim 1, wherein the first portal is configured to transmit the first transport stream to a second portal in the location remote from the first portal and to transmit the second transport stream to a third portal in the location remote from the first portal.

10. A method for remote video production comprising:

capturing a performance by a plurality of equipment located proximal to the performance;

transmitting a plurality of communication signals from the plurality of equipment to a first portal;

multiplexing the communication signals in the first portal into at least one transport stream; and

transmitting the transport steam from the first portal to a location remote from the first portal.

11. The method for remote video production according to claim 10, further comprising receiving the transport stream at a second portal in the location remote from the first portal.

12. The method for remote video production according to claim 11, further comprising de-multiplexing the transport stream into the plurality of communication signals.

13. The method for remote video production according to claim 12, further comprising communicating the plurality of communication signals from the second portal to a control room.

14. The method for remote video production according to claim 11, wherein the second portal is configured to communicate a control signal to the first portal, the control signal providing controls and instructions to the plurality of equipment.
