Control rooms and shows we have run
Gallery scenes from recent productions
These scenes show the types of job we are booked for and how we set up the gallery for each. Every one started with a conversation about the venue, the cameras and what viewers needed to see.
-
Festival main stage, multi-camera cut
Six cameras were cut live to a large screen and a broadcast feed. The vision mixer worked from a cue sheet built around each act's set list.
-
Concert hall control room rig
A compact gallery was rigged in a side room with a vision mixer, talkback and a monitor wall. Cable runs were planned the day before to keep the audience areas clear.
-
Streamed conference with graphics
A two-camera stage show was encoded and sent to a streaming platform with names and titles added live. Tom monitored the stream throughout.
-
Replay desk at a sports day
Highlights were cued and replayed between events on a slow-motion server. The operator marked clips as the action happened so the director could call them quickly.
-
Rehearsal day with the director
Oliver ran a full camera rehearsal before doors, checking shots and talkback with each operator. Small changes at this stage saved time during the show.
-
Operator training on a switcher
A client team learned the layout of a video switcher and practised cutting a short sequence. Each person took a turn on the panel with a trainer beside them.
Control room design and setup
This service suits venues and production companies that need a working gallery for a single event or a permanent install. We plan the space, choose the kit and rig everything so that it can be operated calmly by your crew or ours.
Contact
- We assess the room, the power supply and cable routes before choosing equipment. Good planning here avoids long cable runs and noisy equipment near the performance.
- The vision mixer, monitor wall and talkback are arranged so each operator sees what they need. We keep the layout simple enough for a new person to follow.
- For temporary venues, we rig the gallery in flight cases that can be built and packed quickly. Each case is labelled and tested before it leaves us.
- Every signal path is tested, from camera to output, before the audience arrives. Faults found at this stage are fixed while there is still time.
Send floor plans or photographs of the room if you have them. Measurements of the space and details of the power supply help us plan accurately.
