Connecting Multiple Remote Studios with Hive

Hive Multi-Bridge: The Missing Link for Scalable Remote Production

As remote production workflows continue to evolve, one of the biggest challenges production teams face is collaborating across systems and locations without compromising control or quality. Enter Hive’s Multi-Bridge — a breakthrough feature designed to unify distributed workflows under one streamlined interface.

Whether you’re producing a live event from multiple studios or coordinating a remote crew from different corners of the globe, Multi-Bridge offers a smarter way to scale.

Bridging the Gap: What is Multi-Bridge?

Multi-Bridge is a native feature of the Hive platform that allows multiple computers running Hive software to be linked together into one unified production environment.

This enables teams to distribute key tasks — such as switching, graphics, audio, camera control, or ISO recording — across separate systems, while still operating as one cohesive production.

Why Multi-Bridge Matters for Remote Production

In traditional setups, all production tasks are often confined to a single machine, limiting scalability and flexibility. With Multi-Bridge, each computer becomes a node in a larger network, enabling teams to:

Scale workflows across multiple computers
Coordinate operators in real time, regardless of location
Create modular, role-specific workstations (e.g., audio-only or camera control-only machines)
Facilitate cloud-based collaboration without complex infrastructure

This is especially valuable in remote environments where teams may be working from home, hybrid studios, or even different continents.

Use Cases That Shine with Multi-Bridge

🎬 Multi-Studio Collaboration

Connect control rooms from separate studios to work together on a single show.

🌐 Remote Multi-Operator Events

Split responsibilities between technical directors, camera operators, and graphic designers — even if they’re all in different locations.

🏫 Educational Production Labs

Let students or staff control different parts of a production from individual machines while learning or broadcasting remotely.

🏛 Government or Enterprise AV

Power productions that span rooms, buildings, or cities — perfect for hybrid meetings, remote training, or public communications.

Built for the Future of Cloud-Based Workflows

Multi-Bridge is more than just a feature — it’s an enabler for the next generation of broadcast and live streaming. By turning multiple computers into one connected system, Hive is solving the scalability puzzle for remote production teams.

Instead of patching together third-party tools or relying on fragile workarounds, production teams now have a built-in solution that’s secure, browser-based, and designed for today’s hybrid workflows.

Getting Started

If you’re already using Hive, Multi-Bridge is available with all subscription levels. Setting it up is simple, and the Hive interface makes it easy to view, manage, and collaborate across multiple nodes. As your team grows, your production infrastructure can grow with it — no hardware upgrades required.

Final Thoughts

Remote production is no longer a niche — it’s the new normal. And as the industry matures, tools like Hive Multi-Bridge are helping teams work smarter, collaborate more efficiently, and scale with confidence.

Whether you’re a one-person show looking to offload tasks to a secondary computer or an international team managing a live event from multiple time zones, Multi-Bridge makes it possible — and practical.
