01 · Existing platform
Keep the workflow residents know
Primestar works around the municipality's current meeting platform and focuses on the production responsibilities that happen before, during, and after the meeting.
Municipal Platform-Compatible Production
Granicus & Swagit
meeting production support.
Already using Granicus, Swagit, or another municipal meeting platform? You do not have to replace the workflow your staff and residents already know. Primestar provides the cameras, audio, presentations, graphics, monitoring, and meeting-night production around your existing municipal technology.
Keep the platform
Retain the agenda, meeting, and public-access workflow already in place.
Add the production layer
Give the room, cameras, audio, and live program a defined operating team.
Choose onsite or remote
Use the production model that fits the chamber, equipment, and staffing plan.
Different layers, one meeting
The platform manages the workflow. Primestar produces what happens in the room.
A municipality can keep the software, portal, archive, and records process it already uses while assigning the live production work to a broadcast team. That distinction is the starting point for a practical conversation.
Existing municipal platform
Manage the meeting record
- Agenda and document workflow
- Meeting portal and public access
- Video indexing or archive workflow
- Publishing and records process
Primestar production layer
Produce what happens in the room
- Cameras, microphones, and room sources
- Live switching, audio mixing, and graphics
- Presentation and remote-participant operation
- Stream monitoring, recording, and troubleshooting
What production looks like
The platform works best when the room has an operator.
A municipal meeting platform can organize the agenda and public record. The room still needs someone to manage cameras, audio, presentations, switching, monitoring, and the handoff to the live destination.
How municipalities engage
The right answer is not always a platform change.
Some municipalities need operators. Some need a remote control room. Some need a complete chamber and broadcast system. Primestar can begin with the production responsibility you actually need to solve.
02 · Existing equipment
Put operators behind the system
If the municipality has already invested in cameras, audio, displays, and connectivity, Primestar can assess the room and plan the operator and support scope around it.
03 · Managed production
Move the control room offsite
Connect the chamber to the Primestar studio for remote camera direction, audio, presentations, graphics, monitoring, and distribution.
A practical handoff
One production contact for the room and the live program.
When a camera, microphone, presentation, network path, encoder, captioning workflow, or destination needs attention, the municipality should know who owns the production conversation.
Cameras and coverage
Dais, lectern, public comment, presentation, wide, and remote-participant views.
Presentations and graphics
Meeting sources, speaker identifiers, agenda context, and readable on-air composition.
Audio and monitoring
Council microphones, public comment, program mix, recording, and live signal checks.
Coordination and continuity
A production contact for the chamber, the platform workflow, and the service vendors involved.
Questions municipalities ask
Keep the platform. Clarify the production.
A platform-compatible production conversation starts with the room, the current workflow, and the responsibilities your staff no longer want to own on meeting night.
Can Primestar work with a municipality that uses Granicus?+
Primestar can assess how the live production layer fits around an existing Granicus workflow, including cameras, audio, presentations, graphics, streaming, recording, and the handoff to the municipal meeting system. The exact technical path and division of responsibilities are confirmed during planning.
Can Primestar work with a municipality that uses Swagit?+
A municipality using Swagit can begin the conversation with the production responsibilities it wants to keep, improve, or move to an operating partner. We review the current room, platform workflow, service responsibilities, and distribution path before defining the production scope.
Is Primestar a replacement for Granicus or Swagit?+
Primestar is primarily the production layer: the people, equipment, operation, and technical coordination behind the live meeting broadcast. It is not presented as a replacement for agenda management, meeting records, civic engagement, or platform features Primestar does not provide.
Can you operate equipment the municipality already owns?+
If the existing cameras, audio, control equipment, network path, and room workflow are suitable, Primestar can plan around them. An assessment identifies what can be operated as-is, what needs to be reconfigured, and where a system change is necessary for a dependable production.
Can production be onsite or remote?+
Yes. Primestar supports onsite production, remote production from the Primestar studio, and blended models. The right model depends on the room, installed equipment, network, meeting format, and the responsibilities the municipality wants the production partner to own.
