Line test
Thirty minutes before content we check return audio, picture crop and timecode. The test counts toward the booked hour if it falls inside it.
Hybrid links for remote guests
Two isolation booths, Dante control and an hour of hybrid direction for EUR 240 including 19% VAT. For interviews where one voice cannot sit in Prenzlauer Berg.
Hybrid here means: someone speaks in the house, someone speaks elsewhere, and later it should feel like one conversation. Isolation booths sit in the control lounge. The remote arrives on an agreed link; we do not run an open Zoom show for viewers.
The hour holds a recording engineer and one picture-direction person who either lays the remote frame into the host camera or records it as its own ISO. Extra remotes cost EUR 75 incl. VAT per hour. Technical prep sits in the delivery-formats guide.
Four steps in the link
Booth
A local guest who should not share the host frame sits in the booth. The host stays at the table in the conversation room or on the floor.
Directing the remote
We hear the remote track separately. Return and talkback stay internal so the host does not hear the bench.
Separate layout
Each remote sits as its own file plus a mix, so the edit can ride levels later.
When hybrid is the right call
Correspondents in another district, specialists without a travel day, guests colliding with a Hauptbahnhof connection. It is the wrong call if everyone is already in Berlin and U2 Eberswalder Straße is six minutes away — then interview recording is the quieter path.
Two booths means two local isolations. Further remotes can still join, each extra hour EUR 75 incl. VAT. We do not run more than three remote tracks at once in this house.
What the remote end needs
Headphones, a quiet room, a camera at eye height, no readable brand mark in the background. We send a short technical list. Responsibility for the remote end sits with the desk; we cannot place lamps there.
Public links without end-to-end control can fail. We set a phone fallback if the desk names a number. The hour still runs because staff and booth are held.
Picture and sync
The remote frame can appear as a window in the host camera or as an ISO. We rough-align lip sync in the house mix; fine sync belongs in the edit. We write local timecode; remote clocks often drift, hence the separate layout.
Privacy: remote guests sign the same consent as guests on site. Transmission through third-party software is described in the privacy statement where Voxlyra runs the instance. If the desk uses its own account, the desk remains controller for that channel.

Questions on this service
Which software do you use?
The link is agreed per production. Voxlyra does not sell a software licence and does not name platform partnerships.
Can the remote guest hear the audience?
Only if a talk-show audience is booked and we lay a return. The conversation room has no audience.
What if the link drops?
We use the agreed fallback. The hour stays booked; lost content minutes are recouped in the same window if the link returns.
Can we have two hosts and two remotes?
Two remotes in a half day yes. Two hosts sit in the conversation room; that counts as interview plus hybrid.
Delivery tech: formats. Law: terms and privacy. Request: contact.
What hybrid is not in this house
Hybrid is not an open webinar stage and not a substitute for guests who could walk six minutes from U2 Eberswalder Straße. Hybrid is the path when a voice physically cannot sit in Prenzlauer Berg: a correspondent in another district, a specialist without a travel day, a clash with a Hauptbahnhof connection. An hour of hybrid direction costs EUR 240 incl. VAT (EUR 201.68 net) and holds a recording engineer plus one picture-direction person. One isolation booth is available for a local guest who should not share the host frame. The host stays at the table or on the floor.
The line test thirty minutes before content counts toward the booked hour if it falls inside it. Public links without end-to-end control can fail. We set a phone fallback if the desk names a number. The hour still runs because staff and booth are held. Lost content minutes are recouped in the same window once the link returns. We do not run more than three remote tracks at once. Extra remotes cost EUR 75 incl. VAT (EUR 63.03 net) per hour.
The half-day hybrid for EUR 890 incl. VAT (EUR 747.90 net) covers up to two remotes. We rough-align lip sync; fine sync belongs in the edit. We write local timecode; remote clocks often drift, hence the separate ISO layout. Privacy: remote guests sign the same consent. If the desk uses its own software account, the desk remains controller for that channel. Voxlyra does not sell a licence and does not name a platform partnership.
