According to Blackmagic Design, eplus Co., Ltd. built a live distribution and recording studio "eplus STUDIO" using Blackmagic Design's workflow.

Opening in November 2021, the studio will feature a number of Blackmagic Design products including the ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K, ATEM 2M/E Advanced Panel and Smart Videohub router for live multi-camera performances. And talk shows are being distributed.

eplus STUDIO is a new service in the video business developed by eplus Co., Ltd., and can be used in conjunction with the distribution platform "Streaming+" operated by the company. The company operates "eplus", one of the largest ticket sales sites in Japan, and also operates the agent business and news media "SPICE" specializing in entertainment information.

The studio, which is often used for talk shows and media online events, is also equipped with excellent sound equipment, so it is possible to perform music, and it is said that it is also ideal for musicians to broadcast live. Popular musician Masayoshi Yamazaki also delivered a high-quality performance at the same studio.

In the studio, the studio users operate the equipment themselves and distribute it, but the studio staff are always on hand to explain and troubleshoot the wiring and equipment.

Moriro Takiguchi of the company's video content division commented as follows.

Mr. Takiguchi: There are many users who have used Blackmagic Design's other switchers, even if they are not the 2 M/E type switcher we introduced. Therefore, even first-time users can operate it intuitively. We get a lot of questions about simultaneous recording and VTR output with HyperDeck Studio Mini, and DSK with switchers, but when I explain it, everyone understands it immediately and masters it.

Mr. Yasuda: Regarding the equipment, we focused on things that could be used as soon as possible by the boarding staff, including sound and lighting equipment. When it comes to video, I don't think there are many people who have never used Blackmagic Design equipment.

Mr. Takiguchi: In addition to the studio for distribution, there is also a room in the facility that serves as a dressing room. It has been. We also have a monitor in the dressing room so that you can see the state of the studio. The video displayed on the monitor can be easily switched using the Smart Videohub, which is convenient. If there's something you don't want the performers in the dressing room to see yet in terms of production, Videohub lets you quickly switch it up.
