VCC Study Reveals Dramatic 76% Reduction in IP-Remote Execution Time
For many years VCC has been getting feedback from their customers that their IP-remote process and AirFirst™ platform have dramatically improved customers’ ability to use smartphones and laptops for IP remotes. Now they have study results to confirm it.
In a first-of-its-kind study of a major TV news organization, VCC used testing data from nearly a year of on-air production to compare the organization’s legacy IP remote workflow to the AirFirst process. Among the report findings:
Execution time has been reduced by more than 76% creating thousands of hours of improved efficiency
The need for time-consuming test calls has been reduced by 42%
A 267% increase in the number of air calls made reflects more quality content being produced
The report also explores the steps taken that quantifiably improved the newsgroup’s ability to create remotes from smartphones and laptops by:
Reducing time to air
Decreasing operational complexity and improving communications for staff
Using a single link to connect contributors with any of three native apps from any device, anywhere
Improving ease of use for non-technical remote guests and other contributors

PALISADES, N.Y. (PRWEB) AUGUST 26, 2022

VCC Study Reveals IP-Based Remotes Using Smartphones Can Have Significant Impact on TV Newsroom Speed and Competitive Capability
Data from year-long study of major TV news group identifies opportunities for newsrooms to use smartphone and laptop remotes to create more content efficiently and compete effectively
PALISADES, N.Y., SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 — The Video Call Center, LLC (VCC), a leading developer and provider of smartphone- and laptop-based IP video remote technology and services, has released a new study called “New management technology for video remotes drives change across TV News production.” The report explores the steps taken by a major cable news organization that quantifiably improved its ability to create content using remotes from smartphones and laptops by:
Reducing time to air
Decreasing operational complexity and improving communications for staff
Enhancing the ability to create more content in less time
Improving ease of use for non-technical remote guests and other contributors
IP remotes are increasingly important to television news organizations that need near-instant access to journalists and experts worldwide. With no technician at the remote end of the connection, news organizations are challenged to connect quickly and effortlessly with their non-technical guests, achieve high-quality connections, and shorten time-to-air to improve productivity.
The report uses testing data from nearly a year of on-air production to compare the organization’s legacy IP remote workflow to a modernized process using VCC’s AirFirst platform. Among the findings in the report:
Execution time has been reduced by more than 76%, creating thousands of hours of improved efficiency.  
A 42% reduction in the need for time-consuming test calls.
An increase of 267% in the number of air calls made reflects an increase in the quantity of content being produced.
According to Larry Thaler, CEO of VCC, “To compete effectively in today’s media landscape, TV newsrooms need to leverage their access to experts around the world and do so as quickly as possible. Every minute counts, so media organizations need smart tools and efficient workflows that reduce complexity for their contributors, empower their staff and accelerate time to air. Our goal with this report is to provide a glimpse of the real world data to show how news organizations can best use IP remotes to give them a competitive advantage.”

The Video Call Center’s Larry Thaler on AirFirst, Solutions To Meet Increase in Live Remote Productions
NAB 2022 Perspectives:The Video Call Center’s Larry Thaler on AirFirst, Solutions To Meet Increase in Live Remote Productions
New platform provides cloud-controlled management for IP-based models
Long before COVID transformed live sports production, The Video Call Center was pioneering solutions that allow content creators to get camera feeds from virtually any device into a live-production environment. From their Caller Cloud and Caller Queue solutions to HAT (host automation technology), The VCC has been at the forefront in harnessing the power of smartphone cameras as a live source while also opening the door for operations folks to rethink the conventional control room.
At NAB 2022, The Video Call Center showcased its newest service: AirFirst. The company calls the first cloud-controlled management system for live IP-based remotes. SVG caught up with The Video Call Center CEO Larry Thaler to learn more about how AirFirst enhances operational efficiencies and to get his take on the first in-person NAB Show since 2019.
Tumblr media
What was your company’s strategy heading into this NAB Show, the first one in-person in three years?
It was the first time that we’ve publicly shown AirFirst, the new platform that we’ve put out. We’ve been doing remotes through smartphones for seven years now, and all of our knowledge is in this platform. All of the efficiencies gained in our operation are built into AirFirst.
Inevitably, for example, [prospective clients we met with] were saying, “We install all these Skype TX boxes, and we’re struggling to keep up with the volume. It’s too much work. People don’t know their Skype names; we don’t know whether they’re downloading Skype TX or have downloaded Skype for business, which doesn’t work at all. We’re getting lousy results.” We can help you, and we could take hours and hours out of your day by making the connections really efficient. There were lots of people who came to us and said, “We’ve been jury-rigging with Zoom or [Microsoft] Teams.” Those people were really drawn to the platform, and having the opportunity to show that to them was just great.
Can you tell us more about AirFirst? What does it deliver to the live-production industry?
AirFirst was really the only thing we were showing at [NAB 2022]. Of course, we still have our services business, Caller Cloud, but, quite frankly, what we wanted to do is to show that this capability can be in anybody’s hands and that we not only are willing to share that technology with people but are willing to train people in what we do. Attendees were very excited.
We had a very major broadcaster from the Middle East who came by who was struggling to do the volume of remotes that they have. One of the things that we were sharing with people was that we have a very large news customer now who’s doing approximately 25,000 remotes a year and we took 20 minutes or more off each of those remotes. When you multiply that out, that’s a big number of hours saved. We’re very excited to be doing that — not only for them but for other people as well.
Were there any additional trends or common pain points that emerged as you talked to NAB 2022 visitors throughout the week?
I think the thing that we heard the most was that, at the beginning of the pandemic, people installed whatever they could find as quickly as they could in order to get on the air. An “any port in the storm” kind of strategy. Nobody expected it to last this long. Not only are they having to use those same workflows that were hurried together, [but] they are seeing the volume of work that they’re doing in that way growing, and they can’t handle it. That’s when you need something that can handle the volume and can handle it across the whole team. That seemed very valuable to them.
What was your general assessment of NAB 2022? How did it feel being back at an in-person trade show after so long?
We had a great show. First of all, it was great to get in touch with people in person again. It felt really nice. It felt like the world was a bit more normal. We found that people were drawn to what we had, and it was great to see some old faces and meet so many new people as well.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

NBCUniversal Syndication Studios Re-signs Video Call Center as Live Remote Production Partner for “Maury” and “The Steve Wilkos Show”
STAMFORD, CONN. AND PALISADES, N.Y. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 03, 2021 — The Video Call Center, LLC (VCC) today announced that the company has been selected as a technology partner for the second consecutive year by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios to bring live remote guests to Maury and The Steve Wilkos Show for the 2021-2022 broadcast season. VCC smartphone-based, remote contribution services provide clients with a reliable solution for booking virtual, top-tier guests in shows that offers the highest-quality low-latency audio/video while dramatically reducing travel costs and environmental impact.
Stamford Media Center’s Vice President and General Manager, Vinnie Fusco, said,
“re-signing our agreement with VCC makes perfect sense for the production of our nationally syndicated shows like Maury and The Steve Wilkos Show. We began working with VCC initially at our Stamford Media Center Studios to address pandemic-related production challenges but discovered that VCC’s remote production technology is a cost-effective way to work. As we continue to produce our shows in a safe COVID-compliant manner, VCC gives our producers the tools to book dynamic remote stories that make our shows compelling.”
This is the second consecutive year NBCU Syndication Studios has selected VCC to provide live remote production services. For the previous season, VCC enabled more than 800 remotes for the two shows, including as many as 22 guests in a single production day. The VCC package provided last season to the Stamford Media Center provided pre-production call-producing services, technology, as well as live support during production hours.
VCC CEO Larry Thaler said,
“High-energy shows like Maury and The Steve Wilkos Show depend heavily on great banter between show hosts and guests who may be anywhere in the world. VCC enables NBCU Syndication Studios to extend its reach to access the most relevant guests and have them on air in real-time at the highest quality. VCC helps producers achieve their goals by managing the key pre-production steps and providing advanced technology to ensure effortless, face-to-face conversations occur between studio hosts and their guests.”
Tumblr media
VCC’s StageDoor™ feature enables remote VIP guests to join the production simply by clicking a texted or emailed hyperlink, with no need to create user names or download software, making participation simple for new contributors. This link connects them with an experienced VCC Call Producer who utilizes VCC’s new Tenaciti™ feature to optimize the connection for each guests’ device and bandwidth for the best possible audio and video during long-duration shoots. VCC Call Producers also take cues from the Stamford Media Center creative team to ensure that guests are fully prepared for their appearance, know what to expect, and look their best. During production, VCC’s patented technologies deliver hyper-low-latency video return and IFB mix-minus for effortless interaction between host and guest.
