Package Glossary - Service & Equipment Definitions

The following definitions explain what's included in your Gemba AV package. Use this guide to understand exactly what each service or piece of equipment does for your event.

Branded lower thirds
Graphic overlays that appear in the lower portion of the video frame, displaying a speaker's name, title, or company in your event's branding. They give your stream a polished, broadcast-quality look and help virtual attendees identify who is speaking.
Call-in presenter support
Technical setup that allows a remote speaker to present via video call — Zoom, Teams, or similar — and appear live on screen alongside your in-room content. Gemba AV manages the connection so the presenter can focus on their material, not the technology.
Confidence monitor
A screen positioned at stage level, facing the presenter, that displays their slides, speaker notes, or a live feed of what the audience sees. It allows speakers to maintain eye contact with the room without turning around to check the main display behind them.
Link to venue projection / display
A connection between Gemba AV's switching system and the venue's existing projectors or screens, so your slides and video appear on the room's built-in displays. This eliminates the need to rent a separate projector and ensures a seamless visual experience for in-room attendees.
Manned camera
A traditional video camera operated by a dedicated Gemba AV technician, providing dynamic, human-directed shots — audience reactions, close-ups, and movement — that automated PTZ cameras cannot replicate. Ideal for events where production quality and creative framing matter.
Microphones
Wired microphones are podium or handheld mics connected directly to the audio system, offering reliable, interference-free sound. Wireless microphones — lavalier (clip-on) or handheld — give speakers freedom to move around the stage without being tethered to a cable.
PA system
A Public Address system — the speakers and amplification that fill the room with sound for your in-person audience. Gemba AV provides and operates the PA so your presenters, panels, and Q&A are heard clearly throughout the venue.
PowerPoint / graphics computer
A dedicated laptop or workstation used exclusively to run your presentation slides, videos, or graphics during the event. Having a dedicated machine — separate from the streaming rig — ensures that advancing a slide never interrupts your live stream or recording.
PTZ camera
A robotic camera that can Pan, Tilt, and Zoom remotely, covering wide shots, speaker close-ups, and everything in between — all controlled by the Gemba AV operator without a dedicated camera person on the floor. PTZ cameras provide professional multi-angle coverage at an efficient cost.
Recording — full event stream
A complete, uninterrupted recording of the final mixed video output — exactly what your live stream audience saw — saved as a high-quality video file. This gives you a ready-to-publish replay of the entire event without any additional editing required.
Recording — isolated cameras
Individual recordings captured from each camera feed independently, separate from the mixed stream. These isolated files give a video editor full flexibility in post-production to recut the event, add graphics, or repurpose footage for social media and marketing.
Slide advancer
A wireless remote clicker that lets a presenter advance their own slides from anywhere on stage, without relying on a technician to click through for them. It gives speakers full control of their pacing and keeps the presentation feeling natural and confident.
Stream to platform of choice
Live delivery of your event video to one or more streaming destinations simultaneously — YouTube Live, LinkedIn, Vimeo, a private platform, or any RTMP-compatible service. Gemba AV handles the encoding and upload so your virtual audience receives a stable, high-quality feed.
