Services for studio equipment, crews and running orders
Six areas of studio operations, from equipment records and camera moves to lighting plots, audio checks, newsroom scheduling and live gallery coordination, set out so you can see what each covers.
Six areas of studio work
-
Studio Equipment Management
A single record of cameras, lenses, monitors and cabling across your studios. Bookings, handovers and maintenance notes sit together, so the floor crew knows what is available and what needs attention.
-
Camera Movement Planning
Dolly, jib and robotic camera moves are planned for each programme and shared with the floor crew in advance, so operators arrive knowing their positions, marks and the order of shots.
-
Lighting Design Coordination
Lighting plots, rig schedules and cue lists organised for news sets and live entertainment shows. Changes between programmes are written down once and passed to everyone who rigs or operates.
-
Sound and Audio Workflow
Microphone allocation, mixing desk setups and audio checks managed before and during broadcast, so presenters, guests and playback sources are patched and tested in a consistent order.
-
Newsroom Production Scheduling
Crews, studios and gallery time coordinated across the day so that bulletins run to a dependable plan. Clashes between programmes and shared resources are visible early, not on the studio floor.
-
Live Show Gallery Coordination
Directors, vision mixers and technical staff work from one running order for live productions. Late changes are recorded in the same place, so the gallery and the floor stay aligned.
Studio Equipment Management, step by step
Building the equipment register
We list cameras, lenses, monitors and cabling by studio, with the identifiers you already use. You tell us where kit normally lives, and we reflect that so the register matches what crews see on the floor.
Booking and handover records
Each booking shows who holds an item, for which programme and until when. Handovers between crews are noted, so a missing lens or cable can be traced back to the last person who used it.
Maintenance notes
Faults, repairs and routine checks are logged against the item concerned. Technical staff can see the history before a programme and decide whether a piece of kit goes on air or waits.
Cabling and rack overview
Cable runs and rack contents are recorded per studio, which helps when a set is turned around quickly. New starters can read what is installed without relying on one person's memory.
From first conversation to a working routine
Each engagement starts with how your studios actually run, not with a fixed template. We listen to the people on the floor and in the gallery, then set up the tools around their routines. The steps below describe the usual order, and they adapt to the size of your operation.
Initial conversation
We talk through your studios, programmes and the points where plans tend to slip. You describe who does what on a normal day, and we ask about the tools and records already in use.
What you leave withA short written summary of your studios, services of interest and current pain points.
Quotation and confirmation
Using that summary, we prepare a written quotation that names the services, what they include and what could change the price. You review it, ask questions and confirm in writing when you are happy.
What you leave withA written quotation, followed by your written confirmation of the agreed scope.
Setting up your records
We enter equipment, crews, studios and templates into the platform using your own names and conventions. Tom helps with audio and lighting templates where those services are part of the scope.
What you leave withConfigured equipment lists, schedules and planning templates ready for your team to check.
Working through a live programme
We follow a real programme or bulletin with your crew, watching how plans reach the floor and the gallery. Small adjustments are made to wording, layouts and the order of information.
What you leave withA list of adjustments agreed with the crew after the first programmes.
Handover and ongoing support
Your team takes over daily use, and we stay available for questions through the contact details we give you. Invoices follow the confirmed quotation and are paid by bank transfer.
What you leave withA working routine your own staff can run, with a named contact for questions.
Send an enquiry through the contact page, naming the services that interest you, whether equipment, cameras, lighting, sound or scheduling. We reply with questions and, once the scope is clear, a written quotation.
