Most conferences are a formula too, and any competent audio-visual
company will have established routines for "doing" a conference.
There's a whole essay to be written here about how the initial cost
and complexity of traditional AV gear meat that "trained
professionals" were required, which in turn meant that certain
production values prevailed. There was ONLY the professionals stuff,
so that's where expectations were set.
However these days the equipment is relatively cheap. and the
distribution costs tending to zero. The key issue is the salience of
the material, not whether we have a well-list made-up HDTV picture of
the presenter's face. So even a recording with flaws is of value to
the specific audience which wants it.
Um, but enough on that theme for now...
