Benefits and Practical Applications of Remote Production for Television Producers and News Channels
Remote video production has become an essential option for media and content creators. This production method thus offers numerous advantages that can be classified into 3 main categories, which we will develop below.
First benefit: cost reduction and resource optimization
Remote production enables significant savings to be made on logistical expenses, transport of personnel and equipment for filming and post-production. Deploying teams on site to cover events or produce reports in another country or region generates considerable costs. Calling on a remote production agency like KINO can reduce these expenses.
For producers, remote production means better resource management. They can concentrate on other aspects of their work, such as managing human, financial and material resources, for greater overall efficiency.
What’s more, TV and news channels can pool their technical and human resources, enabling them to make the most of their investments. Production teams can work from a centralized control center, with access to video and audio feeds in real time, without having to travel to the event site.
Second advantage: flexibility and time savings
Flexibility, agility and time savings are indisputable benefits of decentralized video production.
Television producers can now cover a greater number of events simultaneously, with smaller production teams and greater reactivity. This flexibility also induces the ability to adapt quickly to last-minute changes and produce content more efficiently.
In the event of unforeseen circumstances or emergencies, remote production ensures greater continuity of operations: teams can work remotely and continue to produce content in real time, even in the event of on-site difficulties.
News channels can react quickly to live events and deploy camera crews on location, while production and post-production can be managed remotely. This reduces the time between image capture and on-air broadcast, providing real-time coverage of events.
Third advantage: innovation and reduced carbon footprint
At KINO, a Paris-based leader in remote production, we harness cutting-edge technologies to deliver high-quality TV production services, while reducing costs and environmental impact. Thanks to our expertise in this field, we enable TV producers to manage their projects flexibly and efficiently, without compromising the quality of the end result.
In short, remote production contributes to reducing the carbon footprint by limiting travel, optimizing the use of resources, reducing waste and promoting environmentally-friendly practices. This enables the audiovisual sector to minimize its environmental impact while producing quality content.
KINO is a remote production agency committed to environmental protection. We are certified EcoProd We are committed to reducing waste on location and within the company. We give priority to transport that emits fewer greenhouse gases and particles (bicycle, train).

Connected sound studio
Your connected sound studio, remote recording and mixing.
The world of audiovisual production has evolved considerably in recent years, with the arrival of real-time connection technologies for sound recording. At Kino, we’ve implemented these techniques in our Parisian sound studio to give you greater efficiency and flexibility, to open up the universe of possibilities, and to deliver an enhanced customer experience. The studio is equipped with two ultra-high-speed fiber optics, enabling you to envisage any recording and mixing configuration to suit your needs and constraints.
Recording with remote actors
Record the voice of your program with an actor remotely from his speak booth or from another studio in another city or on the other side of the planet. The actor’s voice enters our Protools studio in real time, without compression, via a sessionlink solution. We can talk to the actor to guide him, recalibrate the sound, implement live effects. If the sound is linked to a video, the actor also visualizes the video and can adjust to the image. For dubbing, the original voice is sent to the actor’s headphones, enabling him or her to match the rhythm and tone of the person being dubbed.
Recording with the remote customer.
No need to travel to the recording session. Take part in the session from the comfort of your office or sofa. Via Zoom, Teams or your favorite videoconferencing platform, you can view what’s happening in our camera-equipped studio. Throughout the session, you can hear the sound of what’s happening in the studio, and talk directly to the sound engineer in the studio and to the actor. At the moment of recording, you see the video and hear the actor’s direct sound. You can then take part in the session as if you were in person.
Invite your team and customers.
You can extend this experience by inviting your customers or team members to the session. This allows you to validate in real time, involving your customers and partners in the creative process without wasting their time or requiring them to travel.
From physical to digital, adopt phygital…
The studio’s configurations are thus modular. From 100% face-to-face to 100% remote, we adapt the recording and mixing conditions to offer you maximum comfort and possibilities without any loss of recording quality. The production of your documentaries, commercials, corporate films and web programs gains in responsiveness, and you increase your creative possibilities thanks to the possibility of working with actors from all over the world.
