AI-Powered Live Production at the State Convention of Bündnis 90 / The Greens Saxony

When delegates of Bündnis 90 / The Greens Saxony gathered in Neukieritzsch on May 16 and 17, 2025, for their state convention, political debate met a well-rehearsed production setup. With cutting-edge technology under the direction of Martin Jehnichen (Streamio), MiruSuite was deployed. MiruSuite is a revolutionary AI-based automation solution that takes live video productions to the next level by being precise, responsive, and tireless.

The Challenge

Political events like a party convention present special challenges for live production:

• Multiple camera perspectives (presidium, lectern, audience)
• Frequent speaker changes
• Different positions and body sizes
• Long sessions that require constant concentration

Park Arena in Neukieritzsch. 2 PTZ cameras (Panasonic UE-150) behind the delegates and one camera directly in front of the stage reliably captured all actions.

Traditionally, this requires a multi-person control crew who continuously manage cuts, camera pans, and framing manually - a constant cognitive strain with potential for errors.

The Solution: MiruSuite in Live Operation

“We have to switch back and forth for hours between lectern, presidium, and audience. Of course, the framing also needs frequent adjustments. MiruSuite now takes care of almost all of this for us!”
- Martin Jehnichen, Managing Director of Streamio

The Setup:

• Multi-camera production using Panasonic UE-150 PTZ cameras
• Audience questions via a microphone in the hall
• Hours of continuous use of AI-controlled PTZ cameras
• VMix for live cutting
• A digital mixing console connected as an audio interface, transmitting individual microphones to MiruSuite
• Companion on various Streamdecks for unified, simple control of all components
• MiruSuite running on a laptop as the central automation solution

How MiruSuite Makes the Difference

🎯 Automatic Cutting Based on Audio Analysis

With the help of audio signals, MiruSuite detects who is speaking - whether at the lectern, in the presidium, or in the audience - and automatically switches to the appropriate camera perspective. In the event of other sounds like applause, the software smoothly cuts to the audience to capture the atmosphere.

🧠 Context-Sensitive Framing

Whether a tall speaker or a shorter one: the framing is dynamically adjusted to the target person’s height - without manual intervention.

🛠️ Reliability For Hours

Even during lengthy agenda items, the AI stays alert: no fatigue, no lapses in concentration - a reliable assistant for monotonous routines.

👥 Easing the Burden on the Crew

The human crew can focus on creative decisions while MiruSuite confidently handles the technical basics - efficiently, relaxed, error-free.

Conclusion

The production of the state convention was not only made more efficient through the use of MiruSuite, but also higher in quality. Less on-site personnel were needed, with less stress and more creative freedom - all while maintaining a consistently professional live broadcast.
