Going live is high-stakes. A dropped stream, out-of-sync audio, or unstable feed doesn't just frustrate your audience but it damages your brand. At Argus HD, we eliminate that risk with structured production planning, professional-grade redundant equipment, and a dedicated on-site crew that's managed thousands of live events since 2008.
Founded by Tim Kay ,who led production for YouTube's very first live event — Argus HD brings Silicon Valley-level expertise to every broadcast. We've streamed for Fortune 100 companies, professional sports teams, venture capital firms, and nonprofits. When it matters most, brands trust us.
We’ve live-streamed nearly every event type imaginable. If you need to reach an audience beyond the room, we make it happen:
We start with a thorough discovery call to understand your event goals, audience size, platform requirements, and venue setup. We develop a run of show, assign crew roles, and build failsafe plans for every technical scenario. Nothing is left to chance.
Before go-live, we conduct a full technical rehearsal — testing camera angles, audio levels, streaming platform connections, graphics, and remote presenter feeds. If something's going to go wrong, we find it in rehearsal, not on air.
During the event, our team actively manages every element: live switching, audio monitoring, platform stability, graphics display, and remote participant coordination. You focus on your content; we focus on the broadcast.
Every stream is recorded in high quality. After your event, we deliver your recording promptly — ready to repurpose for on-demand viewing, social media clips, or internal archives. Need a highlight reel or edited cut-downs? We offer full post-production too.

It was a pleasure working with you. I really appreciate your patience with our system and also for tuning in on what we wanted the video to look like. You (Argus) nailed it!
Yes, we scale to any event size. A single-camera webinar for 50 remote attendees gets the same professional attention as a 1,000-person hybrid conference with multiple platforms and remote presenters. We tailor the crew size and equipment to your specific needs.
We plan for this before every event. For mission-critical streams, we bring backup encoders and redundant network devices including cellular bonding options so a single connection failure doesn't take your broadcast down. We've never had an event go dark due to a connection issue.
