GV Pace

For broadcasting operations, unscripted live productions have historically been about controlling the chaos of the environment. With so many pieces moving at once, it is hard to maintain production quality with last minute changes and getting things back on track when errors do occur. GV Pace is a production automation control environment that simplifies unscripted productions to allow a single operator to execute and manage a high-quality, multilayered professional show — all from a tablet.

Historically, these agile automated production control solutions have been provided free of charge, or as an add-on to existing products. Unfortunately, they also come with a lot of hidden costs due to their level of complexity. Difficulty integrating third-party products, significant downtime to make changes to event and rundown templates and poor audio automation support all add cost to the bottom line. Plus, these solutions often don’t put content quality first. What is the benefit of automating a production environment if quality can’t be maintained?

GV Pace offers an intuitive, easy-to-use, personalized and configurable touchscreen UI that puts the power in the hands of one operator — without sacrificing what matters most: content quality. All of this, without the need for a newsroom computer system (NRCS), allowing GV Pace to enhance the pacing, quality and ease-of-operation for unscripted live production applications.
