Streamers · Gamers · Creators

Your stream deserves studio-grade sound and picture.

Microphone, camera, lighting, acoustics, network, encoding: we audit your setup like a broadcast control room, and we review installers' quotes. We sell no equipment: our only interest is how it looks and sounds on screen.

What your viewers notice

The gear is almost never the problem. The settings are.

Hiss and echo

The 500-franc microphone sounds like a gaming headset because the room rings and the gain is wrong.

Dull or noisy picture

A mirrorless camera held back by bad lighting: skin goes grey, the background shifts, LEDs flicker in the lens.

Drops and lag

Upload sized by guesswork, Wi-Fi where a cable belongs, an encoder that saturates when the game ramps up.

Hot PC, audible fans

The case airflow was never designed: the mic picks up the fans, performance drops mid-stream.

Cabling and latency

Dubious HDMI extenders, a capture card adding two frames of delay, an OBS scene stacking conversions.

Inflated installer quote

The "home cinema and gaming" section of a home-automation installer's quote, with three lines nobody will ever use.

The setup check

What we put under the microscope.

The same eye as a live production control room: we have run studios with six robotic cameras, a green screen and worldwide distribution. A stream is the same chain, smaller.

01
Audio

Mic placement and type, gain, processing (gate, compressor, EQ), room acoustics, background noise. Sound is 70 % of perceived quality.

02
Picture and light

Camera, lens, exposure, white balance, key and back light, ambient LED management, background.

03
Network and delivery

Real upload throughput, cabling, switch, encoder settings (bitrate, preset, resolution), stability over time.

04
Machine and ergonomics

Game vs encoding load, cooling, second PC or not, scenes and hotkeys, stream deck, comfort over 4 hours.

Who looks at your setup

A Broadcast Engineer, not an equipment salesman.

Patrick Oliveira spent three years running live production at the headquarters of a multinational: vMix, six PTZ cameras, green-screen studio, Yamaha mixer, worldwide distribution. Before that, twelve years designing and programming audiovisual and home-automation installations. Certified Dante Level 3 and AMX Programmer.

He streams too. He knows what it is to tweak a gate at 11 pm before going live, and to discover on the VOD that the mic was picking up the fan.
