Livestream and Broadcast Production Built So the Stream Never Becomes the Story
Most corporate livestreams do not fail at the camera. They fail at the upload, at a platform setting nobody checked, or at a single point in the signal path that had nothing standing behind it.
Argus HD plans the broadcast as its own production rather than an extra on the end of the room. Contribution paths, encoders, platform configuration and the run of show for the remote audience all get scoped, tested and rehearsed before doors.
We work out of 214 W. 29th St. in Manhattan and stream from venues, offices and studios across the metro. When the stakes are high, we are the team behind the team.
What We Produce and Broadcast
Everything below sits inside one scope, written in plain language after a technical discovery call. Whatever falls within it, we own end to end.
Conference and Keynote Livestreams
Main stage and breakout sessions streamed live with IMAG, graphics and speaker lower thirds, produced to look like a broadcast rather than a webcam pointed at a ballroom.
Multi Platform Simulcast
One production, every destination. The same show delivered simultaneously to YouTube, LinkedIn Live, your own platform and anywhere else your audience already is.
Webcast and Virtual Event Production
Broadcast quality webcasts and virtual events at any scale, with registration, Q and A and moderated chat handled alongside the video.
Hybrid Event Broadcast
In room and remote audiences fully integrated, with camera packages, switching, encoding and remote participant workflows handled end to end.
Executive and Investor Broadcasts
Investor days, earnings communications and all hands broadcasts on secure, gated delivery where the audience list matters as much as the picture.
Remote Contribution and Studio Feeds
Remote speakers brought in at full quality on their own end and recorded locally as a safety, so a poor hotel connection never lands in your master file.
Live Podcast and Show Distribution
Live podcast production and multi platform distribution, including the isolated audio deliverables your team needs once the show is over.
Captioning and Accessibility
Live captions on the stream, plus caption files and transcripts for the archive, so the broadcast is usable by everyone you invited to watch it.
Recording, Archive and Post
Clean isolated recordings of every feed, an archive ready for on demand posting, and edited session cuts when post production sits inside the scope.
Your Venue's WiFi Will Not Carry Your Broadcast
This is the most common reason a corporate livestream falls over, and it is entirely preventable. Here is what actually happens in the room.
Upload Is the Number That Matters
Venues provision for guests browsing, so download looks generous and upload does not. A clean HD stream needs at least 5 Mbps of steady upload, and 4K sits closer to 25. Under peak congestion a venue network can drop below 1 Mbps upstream. That is not a slow stream. That is no stream.
Shared WiFi Is Contention, Not Capacity
WiFi is a contention model, so fifty devices during your site visit behaves nothing like fifteen hundred devices at doors. The 2.4 GHz band carries only three non overlapping channels, which means a room full of personal hotspots saturates it no matter how many access points get added.
Order the Hardline Early or Do Not Count On It
A dedicated circuit is not something a venue switches on during show week. Hybrid and livestreamed events are commonly quoted at six to twelve weeks of lead time once site surveys, venue IT, security and union approvals are counted. Late orders mean rush fees, thin inventory and no time to test.
Bonded Cellular Is the Backup, Not the Plan
We run multi carrier bonded cellular alongside the hardline so congestion on one network cannot take the show down. It is a real safety net, and it is not a substitute for the dedicated circuit that should have been ordered in week one.
We handle the bandwidth conversation with your venue in writing during planning. If a dedicated circuit is not possible, you will hear what the stream can realistically carry weeks beforehand rather than discovering it live.
One Production, Every Destination
Your audience is already somewhere. We deliver the same broadcast to all of it at once rather than asking people to move to a platform that suits us.
Public platforms
- YouTube Live
- LinkedIn Live
- Facebook Live
- X
- Twitch
- Vimeo
Meeting and webinar
- Zoom Webinars and Zoom Events
- Microsoft Teams live events
- Google Meet
- Webex
- Registration gated webinar tools
- Custom RTMP or SRT destinations
Enterprise and owned
- Your own site via an embedded player
- Enterprise video platforms
- Registration gated portals
- Private and unlisted delivery
- Single sign on protected streams
- Internal networks and intranets
If your team already holds a platform contract, we stream into it. If you do not, we will tell you which one fits your audience rather than which one is easiest for us.
Six Decisions That Shape Your Broadcast
Settle these in planning and everything downstream gets simpler. Leave them open and they turn into show day arguments.
Public or Gated
Open to anyone with the link, or restricted to a registration list, a company domain or single sign on. This drives the platform choice and most of the setup, so settle it first.
Latency or Interaction
Standard latency buys stability and reach. Low latency buys live Q and A that feels like a conversation. You can have either comfortably. Wanting both at once is usually where the trouble starts.
How the Audience Asks Questions
Open chat, a moderated queue, or upvoted questions surfaced to the stage. Each needs a moderator and a clear path for what actually reaches the speaker.
Captions and Accessibility
Automated captions are fast and inexpensive. Human captioning is accurate and appropriate when the audience or the subject matter calls for it. Decide before the registration page goes out.
What Happens to the Recording
Same day on demand posting, an edited highlight cut, or an internal archive only. This changes what we capture on the day, not just what we edit afterwards.
Who Owns the Remote Audience
Somebody has to watch the stream as a viewer sees it during the show. If nobody is assigned, the first person to notice a problem is a customer typing in the chat.
How We Keep It On Air
Redundancy is not optional on a show that only happens once. This is the stack we build behind a critical broadcast.
Contribution and encoding
- A hardwired primary circuit with multi carrier bonded cellular alongside it
- A backup encoder configured and warm, not sitting in a case
- Primary and backup ingest into the platform wherever it supports both
- Local recording at the encoder, so a lost stream is never lost content
Room, power and people
- A redundant audio path with a backup mixer ready to take over
- Uninterruptible power on every critical rack
- A second switcher standing by on the shows that warrant it
- A rehearsed handoff, so the crew has run the failover before it matters
Every one of these is a decision we make with you in planning and size to the show. A quarterly town hall does not need what an investor day needs, and you should not pay as though it does.
Our Production Process
Four stages, one senior team, no handoffs between them. The person who wrote the plan is the person calling the show.
Scope and Strategy
Every production starts with a technical discovery call. We map your venue, your audience, your signal path and every place something could go wrong.
Connectivity and Platform Planning
We specify the circuit and its lead time, the encoders and the destinations, then configure the platform and test the whole chain end to end well before show week.
Rehearsal and On Site Execution
Speakers rehearse, the failover gets exercised rather than assumed, and experienced production leadership runs the broadcast from load in to wrap.
Archive and Handover
Recordings and stream archives handed over clean, plus a short debrief so next year’s broadcast starts ahead of where this one did.
What Your Scope Actually Includes
Scopes get vague when a vendor wants room to add charges later. Ours are written to be read by the person approving the budget.

Our Fun Fact
Argus HD has been producing live broadcasts since streaming was still figuring itself out. Our founder worked the crew on one of YouTube’s very first live events back in 2008, the Katy Perry show, and later helped bring Facebook’s early F8 developer conferences to a live audience online.
We have been doing live at scale for as long as the platforms have existed. That is the experience sitting behind the calm in your stream operator’s chair.

What Livestream and Broadcast Production Costs in New York
Pricing depends on scope, crew size, the number of feeds and how much of the chain we are responsible for. A single room town hall streamed to one destination sits at the light end. A multi day, multi room conference with simulcast, captions and a same day archive sits at the other.
We scope it on a technical discovery call and put it in writing in plain language, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
What moves the number
- How many rooms you need and how many stream at once
- Whether a dedicated circuit already exists or has to be ordered
- How many destinations, and whether any of them are gated
- Camera count, graphics and how produced the stream needs to look
- Captioning, moderation and audience support
- Recording, archive and post production scope
Livestream and Broadcast Production in New York FAQs
Pricing depends on scope, crew size, the number of feeds and post production. We scope it on a technical discovery call and put the number in writing before you commit, so nothing new appears on the invoice afterwards.
Almost never, and it is the most common reason a corporate stream falls over. Venues provision for guests browsing, so upload is thin and contention is high. A clean HD stream needs at least 5 Mbps of steady upload, and a venue network under congestion can drop below 1 Mbps upstream. We specify a dedicated circuit and carry bonded cellular alongside it.
For hybrid and livestreamed events, six to twelve weeks is the realistic window once site surveys, venue IT, security and union approvals are counted. Ordering late means rush fees, limited options and no time left to test the chain properly.
YouTube Live, LinkedIn Live, Facebook, X, Twitch and Vimeo, plus Zoom Webinars and Events, Microsoft Teams live events, enterprise video platforms and any custom RTMP or SRT destination. We can deliver to several at once from a single production.
Yes. Unlisted links, registration gated portals, domain restricted access and single sign on protected streams are all normal for us. Tell us who is allowed to watch and we will match the platform to that.
Critical shows carry a backup encoder, a second contribution path and, where the platform supports it, a backup ingest. We also record locally at the encoder, so a dropped stream never becomes lost content.
Yes. Automated captions on the stream are quick and inexpensive, and human captioning is available when accuracy or your audience requires it. Caption files and transcripts come with the archive.
Yes. We bring remote presenters in at full quality on their own end and record them locally as a safety, so a poor hotel connection never ends up in your master file.
Yes. Moderated Q and A, chat monitoring and a clear path for questions reaching the stage sit inside our scope whenever you want them there.
Clean recordings of every session, a stream archive ready to post on demand, isolated files on request, caption files where captioning was in scope, and a short written debrief so next time starts ahead.
Streaming something that only happens once?
Start with a technical discovery call. We will check the venue’s bandwidth reality, size the redundancy to the show, and put a scope in writing you can take straight to your budget holder.
