New Streaming Formats for Video-Based Simulation
From AV System to Digital Training Format
AV systems like SIMStation provide ideal conditions for making simulation training accessible across various digital formats – whether live, on-demand, or hybrid. Technically, these systems enable:
- Recording and editing of audiovisual content
- Targeted export of training data and annotations
- Integration with streaming platforms or internal networks
New Use Cases at a Glance
Based on internal experience and international studies, a wide range of simulation formats have proven effective for streaming, including:
- Live demonstrations and tutorials for skill-based training
- Lectures, webinars, or pre-recorded sessions for theoretical content
- Case discussions or walkthroughs for process analysis
- Checklist videos and mockups for standardization
Implementing with SIMStation
These formats can be implemented quickly and effectively with SIMStation – in just three steps:
- Define the format – based on your target audience and learning goals
- Use your AV setup – turn your SIMStation system into a recording studio
- Stream the content – via suitable platforms or internal channels
Thanks to the built-in hardware (cameras, microphones, etc.) and software functionality, only minimal adjustments are needed. The connection to a streaming PC is made via grabber hardware, optionally enhanced with software interfaces.
Key Considerations
- Define audience size, technical background, and privacy requirements in advance
- Integrate interactive elements (e.g., chat, polls) as needed
- Choose your platform based on purpose and accessibility
Conclusion
Streaming is no longer just a workaround from the pandemic era – it’s a sustainable extension of professional simulation. With the right tools – such as SIMStation – new learning formats can be launched, knowledge can be scaled, and quality can be ensured.
The future of simulation is hybrid, flexible, and connected.
