TalkPoint Partners with Roland Systems Group to Integrate Convey with VR Vision Mixers

June 22, 2012 - PRLog -- TalkPoint, the leader in global communications technology, specializing in browser-based audio and video webcasting, today announced its partnership with Roland Systems Group, the leading supplier of commercial and performance audio and video equipment, to offer seamless live web streaming to Roland clients by connecting Roland’s VR-3 and VR-5 vision mixers with TalkPoint’s Convey SaaS-based self-service webcasting tool.

Roland’s VR-3 and VR-5 portable audio and video mixers, with a streaming-ready USB output, can be connected to a computer running a live webcasting service, like TalkPoint’s Convey, to enable live event streaming from a PC. Convey recognizes the VR-3 and VR-5 as a webcam so that AV professionals can easily record high-quality audio and video events.

“The collaboration with Talkpoint is a perfect example of RSG working as a total solutions provider for our clients,” commented Simon Kenning, sales manager, RSG UK.   
            
“We are happy to partner with Roland Systems Group to provide enterprise-grade streaming to its customers,” said Nick Balletta, CEO of TalkPoint. “Now, with the use of Convey, streaming live events doesn’t require significant setup time and equipment to produce a high-quality broadcast.”
