Blackmagic Design announced today that Roker Labs uses Blackmagic Design’s Web Presenter streaming and encoding device, HyperDeck Studio Mini broadcast deck and ATEM Television Studio HD live production switcher to support its live streaming workflow. This includes using the Web Presenter for Roker Labs Live as well as with the production on digital lifestyle expert Mario Armstrong’s “Never Settle” show.

Roker Labs is an industry-leading innovator in the live streaming space. Focused on media and innovation, Roker Labs tests streaming technologies, pioneers new streaming formats and produces next-generation, interactive experiences across leading content platforms. It produces dozens of successful live streams, including hugely popular cooking, entertainment, technology and science shows.

Ben Ratner is Roker Labs’ Live Streaming Technical Supervisor and is the main technical operator and designer. Roker’s shows each have a vastly different set of technical requirements, with some shot and streamed directly from Roker Labs and others from a variety of small and large locations around New York City. Because Ratner is often the only crew member available to shoot and direct the streams, his production gear has to be compact, easy to use and mobile.
