Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour (2025) was designed as a content-first live production, where the quality and usability of captured video extended far beyond the live performance itself. Across more than 50 stadium and arena shows in North and South America, video feeds were used simultaneously for in-venue live replay, large-format LED screens, social media content, promotional edits, and future long-form concert film production.
To support this, the production required a wireless camera system capable of delivering broadcast-grade 4K images with ultra-low latency, consistent colourimetry, and dependable RF performance – night after night, venue to venue.
Production Challenge
The touring video workflow presented several technical challenges:
- Ultra-low latency wireless video for live IMAG and replay on large in-venue screens
- Visual consistency across multiple cameras, including cabled and wireless sources
- Precise timing alignment for multi-shot live cutting during fast-paced performances
- Freedom of movement for Steadicam operation on crowded, high-energy stages
- Repeatable performance across a wide variety of RF environments and venue architectures
Steadicam operator Matt Trujillo was responsible for capturing artist-centric, dynamic shots that fed directly into the live vision mix while also being recorded for downstream content creation.
After early trials with alternative wireless systems failed to deliver the stability and consistency required for a stadium-scale touring production, the Shakira team turned to a Vislink-based solution deployed by Aerial Video Systems (AVS). Built specifically to handle demanding RF environments, the Vislink HCAM quickly proved its reliability where other approaches had fallen short, reducing engineering complexity, restoring confidence in the live video workflow, and ensuring the images seen in the Steadicam viewfinder were exactly what tens of thousands of fans experienced on the big screens. The result was a dependable, low-latency wireless platform that supported creative freedom on stage while removing unnecessary risk for engineers, production staff, and the artist herself.
Solution
The production deployed the Vislink HCAM 4K wireless camera transmitter as part of the core camera complement for the tour.
HCAM was selected for its ability to:
- Deliver low-latency 4K wireless video, suitable for live replays and IMAG
- Maintain image consistency alongside hard-wired broadcast cameras
- Support tight multi-camera coordination, enabling seamless live switching
- Operate reliably in RF-dense stadium environments
- Remain lightweight and stable for extended Steadicam operation
The HCAM feeds were integrated directly into the live production workflow, enabling directors to treat wireless shots as primary cameras, not creative extras.
Results
Across the tour, HCAM enabled a unified video workflow where wireless cameras contributed fully to live and post-production outputs.
Key outcomes included:
- Live replays on large in-venue screens with imperceptible delay, preserving impact and timing
- Consistent colour and image quality across wired and wireless camera sources
- Clean multi-shot sequencing, allowing directors to cut dynamically without latency compensation
- High-value content capture, with footage reused for social media, promotional videos, and long-form edits
- Operational reliability sustained over a long-running, high-pressure touring schedule
The result was a visually cohesive live show and a deep archive of high-quality content that extended the value of each performance well beyond the venue.
Why It Matters
Modern concert touring demands more than live coverage: it requires a scalable video creation platform that supports live replay, fast-turn social content, and cinematic post-production from the same camera feeds.
By delivering low-latency, broadcast-grade wireless video that integrates seamlessly into multi-camera live workflows, the Vislink HCAM enabled Shakira’s production team to capture every moment consistently, creatively and without compromise.
