The video produced, directed and edited by John Hetherington was uploaded and accepted by Conference on January 13, 2013 as a collaborative production the supported the paper:

This paper discusses the 2011 pilot Queensland Performing Arts Centre simulcast of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra within the context of four major research reports published in 2011, all of which were engaged in investigations into the impact of digital technologies on the performing arts; two reports from London: NT Live, Beyond Live, and two Australian: the AMPAG (Australian Major Performing Arts Group) Digital Scoping paper, and then the sub-section report into 'Audiences' for the Australian Research Council's project Sustaining Culture.

This paper concludes with a discussion of the implications for the current 2012 simulcast at QPAC to audiences in six regional centres, as well as the potential for the engagement of the higher education sector at this innovative intersection of the performing arts and digital technologies with multi-camera coverage of a live event simulcast. This engagement is discussed via case-studies of multi-cam teaching methods in courses conducted at Griffith Film School and University of Southern Queensland by John Hetherington.
