SCENE 01 / LIVE STREAMING
Live Streaming
Professional broadcast streaming for your New Zealand event.
Here is how this works in practice. Live streaming delivers real-time video content to online audiences through pro broadcast workflows. Multi-camera switching, graphics integration, audience interaction tools, and redundant streaming infrastructure come together for polished broadcasts—whether it's a corporate event at Auckland's Aotea Centre, a film premiere in Wellington, or an adventure sports event in Queenstown reaching audiences across Asia-Pacific time zones.
Here is the short of it. We give from start to finish live streaming production services across New Zealand, including multi-camera setups, vision switching, and reliable transmission. Our team works with venues from Auckland's Spark Arena and Sky City Convention Centre to Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre and Christchurch's Te Pae, setting up bonded cellular, fibre connectivity, and satellite backup so your event reaches audiences across Oceania and beyond without interruption.

Broadcast-Grade Live Streaming Across NZ
Here is how this works in practice. Our live streaming infrastructure in New Zealand combines tier-one venue-side IP camera packages (Sony HDC-3500, Panasonic AK-UC4000, Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2), Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 8K and 4 M/E switchers, vMix and Wirecast software switching for tier-two corporate shoots, NDI 5 fabric, and Haivision SRT / Zixi encoders for global low-latency input. Backbone connectivity runs Chorus and Vocus fibre into AWS Sydney and GCP Sydney edge endpoints with the 3-hour trans-Tasman latency, plus Spark NZ and 2degrees 5G bonded cellular (Pepwave, LiveU, Mushroom) for outdoor festivals and remote venues. Stadium streaming runs at Eden Park Auckland (All Blacks rugby, 50K+ capacity), Sky Stadium Wellington, Spark Arena Auckland (12K indoor concerts). Western Springs Stadium (50K outdoor), Bay Oval Mount Maunganui and Hagley Oval Christchurch (cricket). Festival live streaming serves WOMAD New Plymouth, Splore, The capital WOW (World of Wearable Art), and Rhythm and Vines Gisborne — the first city to greet the new year worldwide.
Here is the short of it. NZ live streaming compliance covers Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) frequency licensing for wireless camera links and IFB, broadcast partnerships with TVNZ, Three NZ, Sky Sport NZ, and Spark Sport for sports rights planning, and Live Nation NZ concert promoter agreements for music event delivery. America's Cup 2021 in Auckland and the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 (co-hosted across Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, Dunedin) anchor recent broadcast-tier live streaming heritage.
Here is how this works in practice. We bundle MEAA-Equity NZ reciprocal credentialing for trans-Tasman crew rotation, WorkSafe NZ compliance, ACC universal accident insurance, Tait Communications (Christchurch HQ — global radio comms manufacturer) RF planning where needed, and iwi/hapū consultation for events on culturally major whenua. NZSPG 20% + 5% productivity uplift records runs through the New Zealand Film Commission where the live event is part of a qualifying production package.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What platforms can you stream to?
We can stream to any major platform—YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Twitch, and custom RTMP destinations. We can stream at once to many platforms for maximum reach.
What about internet connectivity at New Zealand venues?
Here is the breakdown. Most major venues in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch have strong UFB (Ultra-Fast Broadband) fibre connectivity, and we back this up with bonded cellular across Spark, One NZ, and 2degrees carriers. For remote shoots in Fiordland, Queenstown, or coastal areas, we deploy satellite uplink or Starlink-based redundancy.
Can you stream events across Asia-Pacific time zones?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes. New Zealand's NZST/NZDT position is ideal for being one of the first countries in the world to live-stream events, reaching audiences from Sydney to Singapore to Los Angeles. We produce English-language streams with multi-language interpretation tracks. Edited highlights for on-demand viewing after the live event.
What quality can you deliver?
We can deliver up to 4K resolution streams based on venue connectivity and platform support. Most pro streams use 1080p HD with high bitrate for great quality with broad compatibility.
Do you provide interactive features?
Yes, we can integrate live polls, Q&A, chat moderation, and audience participation features. These engage viewers and make streams more interactive than traditional broadcasts.
What about recording the stream?
We always record streams as backup and can give high-quality recordings for on-demand viewing. We can deliver edited highlights or full recordings after the event.
