How Canon PTZ cameras helped a Tibetan medical centre master the art of streaming

From Austria to the world, find out how “School of Inner Medicine” – Nangten Menlang International – extended ancient Tibetan teachings to a wider online audience.

Visual enlightenment

Even the ancient teachings of Tibet are not immune from the pandemic, as Austria-based organisation Nangten Menlang International (NMI) found out. Dedicated to the promotion of Tibetan Medicine, NMI teaches body movement practices, healing methods and meditation to enable students to live a happier life. Founded and led by master Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche, their mission is to share this medical philosophy with audiences all over the world. However, when COVID-19 hit, the non-profit organisation faced their biggest challenge: transitioning their in-person events to an online platform.

Client: Nangten Menlang International

Location: Vienna, Austria

The Challenge

Due to the pandemic, Nangten Menlang International needed an easy, user-friendly solution to produce and stream live teaching sessions to an online audience. They were considering remote-controlled options because the practice room was small. Overall, they wanted to create more immersive and engaging teaching sessions with a professional look, while working to a budget.

The Solution

NMI worked with its partner Tools at Work to find the best solution for their needs. After an initial consultation, Tools at Work recommended the range of Canon PTZ cameras based on its razor sharp 4K UHD imagery, compact form factor and ability to effortlessly live stream with comprehensive IP protocols. The organisation eventually purchased two Canon CR-N300s PTZ cameras to help capture teachings in higher quality.

“The deciding factor was the intuitive control, the pre-sets, the excellent autofocus and 20x zoom, which is great for our hybrid events”
