Streaming tech Dave Goldstein sets up the audio in front of the Warrior’s Circle of Honor memorial at the National Museum of the American Indian
Every day in Washington, D.C., there are events and ceremonies that deserve to reach as wide an audience as possible. Even when the particular situations don’t seem to lend themselves to success. That’s where MTI comes in. We have the crews, gear, and knowledge to get the message out. Of course, it also helps that all MTI crewmembers are fully vaccinated and all COVID-19 protocols are rigorously adhered to on every MTI production.

One such deserving event was the recent live outdoor broadcast from the grounds of the National Museum of the American Indian. Put on by Four Directions, the nonprofit organization dedicated to Native voting rights, voter empowerment, voter protection, and voter engagement, the purpose was to commemorate the National Buffalo Soldiers Proclamation in support of the Lakota/Sioux Tribe and Wounded Knee Descendants.
Hawaiian Congressman Kaiali’i Kahele and Kansas Congresswoman Sharice Davids joined Four Directions Co-Founder/Executive Director Barb Semans and many other activists were in attendance at the solemn occasion.
Making the Connections
Having the right technology, like the LiveU Solo device, helps the message reach its audience.
The video was to be streamed live to both Four Directions’ Facebook and Youtube pages. However, because the event was taking place outside, special equipment was required to overcome the fact that there was no hardwired Internet connection available. So, videographer John Bogley and audio/streaming tech Dave Goldstein used the LiveU Solo, a bonding device that enables streamers to reliably acquire, manage and distribute a high-quality remote live broadcasts.

Working with a team that has the gear and knowledge to bring an event to its audience is the key to success.
A Sony HD camera captured the ceremony, a powered speaker supplied audio from an Electro-Voice RE50B microphone.
In the end, the message was broadcast loud and clear.
