The HELM, a global expert in cinematic live broadcast and high-end production workflows, has entered a strategic partnership with ARRI.
The agreement “formalises a long-standing relationship, cementing The HELM as ARRI’s first global Live Solution Partner and marking a significant milestone in the integration of ARRI’s groundbreaking multicam technology into live broadcast and production environments worldwide”, a press release said.
Under the new partnership, The HELM will serve as ARRI’s global integration partner for live production, providing “industry leading turnkey solutions, project delivery expertise and technical leadership”.
This collaboration aims to ensure that ARRI Live Solutions can be integrated and supplied for any project as a managed service, bringing cinema-quality images with full workflow support.
It also accelerates the adoption of ARRI’s live broadcast solutions as an end-to-end service offering, supporting productions and content creators in integrating technology across concert touring, live broadcasting, film and television and corporate events.
Together, the two companies will collaborate on joint initiatives spanning marketing, technical development, training, and pilot projects, ensuring “seamless integration of cinematic camera solutions into broadcast workflows with the precision and reliability for which both brands are known”.
The partnership also seeks to accelerate technical innovation and product development, giving productions a single point of contact for global solutions, lowering the barrier to entry for accessing ARRI technology, and reducing operational risk through a trusted and experienced team.
“Our collaboration with The HELM marks an important step forward in bringing ARRI’s cinematic technology to live production at scale,” says ARRI’s managing director, Chris Richter.
“By combining ARRI’s technical innovation with The HELM’s live production expertise, we’re empowering broadcast and event producers to deliver the unmistakable ARRI look in real time – from major sporting events and concerts to large-scale broadcast productions without compromising creative intent.”
Josh Moffat, co-founder and CEO of The HELM, added: “This partnership represents both an incredible honour and the natural evolution of our relationship with ARRI.
“We’ve used ARRI systems for years across countless productions and have seen first-hand how their cameras, long regarded as the gold standard in cinema, transform live environments.
“To now become ARRI’s first trusted Live Solution Partner is a privilege. Together, we’re redefining what’s possible by delivering ARRI’s legendary image quality and reliability to live productions across every continent.”
The HELM reportedly brings extensive experience to the collaboration, with a proven track record using ARRI technology, including the Alexa 35 Live – Multicam System.
This system combines ARRI’s award-winning colour science with flexibility for live broadcast environments.
The HELM has supported numerous productions worldwide, from the first global live Alexa 35 Live deployment through its partnership with VA Hire, to high-profile events such as Fatal Fury: Canelo vs. Scull pay-per-view boxing for Riyadh Season, TikTok Creator Awards Broadcast, Troye Sivan Concert Touring, Wednesday Outcast Assembly Launch Stream, and various corporate projects.
