Live Stream Production Services

Village of Fairport, New York
April 2026

Overview

ROC Vox Recording & Production, LLC is a full-service video production and live streaming studio based in Bushnell’s Basin, NY. We have been producing live coverage of Village of Fairport meetings for WhatsUpFairport.com, giving us direct familiarity with your boardroom, your meeting formats, and the production quality improvements that are within reach.

This proposal outlines a phased engagement designed to deliver an immediate and professional upgrade to the Village’s live stream and recorded meeting archive - starting with your existing equipment and evolving into a full broadcast-quality production environment over time.

What ROC Vox Brings to the Table

Ecamm Live - Professional Streaming on Mac

We will transition the Village’s live stream production from XSplit to Ecamm Live, running on ROC Vox’s own Mac hardware during Phase 1. Ecamm is a professional-grade broadcast platform for Mac that gives us:

Feature Description
Native Zoom Integration Remote meeting participants appear seamlessly in the live stream as polished video windows, not a clunky screen share.
Real-Time Audio Filters Clean up less-than-ideal guest audio from remote participants or the existing PTT mic chain.
Unified Broadcast Platform Scene switching, overlays, lower thirds, and graphics handled all in one place.
Reliable Streaming Low-latency streaming to YouTube and other platforms simultaneously.

Branded Graphics & Animated Intros

ROC Vox will design and produce a complete branded graphics package for the Village of Fairport, including:

Graphic Element Description
Animated Video Intros Customized for each meeting type (Board Meeting, Planning Board, Zoning Board, etc.).
Lower-Third Graphics Consistent, professional layouts identifying board members, speakers, and agenda items.
Broadcast Screens Branded holding screens, countdowns, and intermission slates.
Video Integration Ability to incorporate Village PSAs, public notices, or short-form video content into the broadcast.

ROC Vox is a full-service production company. If the Village requires professional video shoots - public service announcements, staff spotlights, community content, or social media videos - those services are available and quoted separately.

Post-Production for Vimeo Archive

Before each meeting recording is uploaded to Vimeo, ROC Vox will review and prepare the file. This includes trimming pre-roll and dead air, correcting any technical issues, and ensuring the final archive is a clean, professional record of the meeting. Delivery within 24 hours of meeting end.

ROC Vox will also provide a transcript of each meeting recording for archival, accessibility, and reference purposes.

Social Media Clips

Upon request, ROC Vox can pull short-form clips from any recorded meeting and format them correctly for Instagram Reels, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, or other platforms. This is available as an optional add-on service and quoted per clip or on a monthly basis depending on volume.

ROC Vox Studio Access

ROC Vox’s studio facility on Kreag Road in Bushnell’s Basin includes a full range of professional live streaming and video production equipment. For special events, town halls, public hearings, or productions that require capabilities beyond the boardroom setup, our studio resources are available with advance notice and a separate project quote.

Engagement Structure

Phase 1 - First 90 Days (Months 1-3)

ROC Vox takes over live stream production using the Village’s existing Sony PTZ camera and PTT microphone/mixer chain, operated through Ecamm Live on our own Mac. You get a dramatically improved production - consistent graphics, clean audio, seamless remote participants - with zero capital expenditure from the Village.

  • Full Ecamm Live production on ROC Vox Mac hardware
  • Animated meeting intros and full branded graphics package (included)
  • Remote participant integration via Zoom/Ecamm
  • Audio cleanup and monitoring
  • Live stream to Village YouTube channel
  • Post-produced Vimeo upload within 24 hours, plus transcript of each meeting recording
  • On-site ROC Vox operator for every meeting
  • Quick-response technical support as needed

At the conclusion of 90 days, ROC Vox will conduct a full assessment and present a formal equipment recommendation for Phase 2, including specific camera models, infrastructure, and pricing.

Phase 2 - Months 4-12 (Multi-Camera Upgrade)

Phase 2 introduces a permanent, boardroom-installed two-camera PTZ system driven by a dedicated Mac Mini production machine. The result is a dynamic, multi-angle broadcast presenting Village meetings at a level of professionalism consistent with a modern, transparent local government.

  • 2x PTZOptics Move SE 30x 1080p Auto-Tracking PTZ cameras - permanently installed in the boardroom
  • PTZOptics SuperJoy Joystick Controller - tactile, real-time pan/tilt/zoom control with LCD preview and preset recall
  • Apple Mac Mini M4 Pro - 12-core CPU, 16-core courses GPU, 64GB unified memory, 1TB SSD, 10GbE - dedicated production machine
  • Final Cut Pro - all post-production, Vimeo preparation, and social media clip editing
  • Dynamic multi-camera switching during live meetings
  • Auto-tracking capability - cameras follow active speakers without manual pan/tilt
  • Expanded Ecamm Live scene capabilities with full Village branding
  • All Phase 1 services continue
  • Quarterly review meetings to address enhancement requests
