Television Control Room and Studio Equipment

Stage TV studio design for maximum star power The actual production being recorded takes place on the studio floor or stage. Necessary television studio equipment components would include television control room lighting, cameras, microphones and set decoration.

I recommend:  Litepanels, Inc., has introduced their Litepanels Micro, the first professional compact production LED light that uses regular AA batteries. The Micro is ultra efficient, lightweight and cost effective producing 1.5 hours of continuous output from four AA batteries. Iconix Video, Inc., has developed the HD-RH1, the world's smallest professional HD video camera. The camera delivers superb picture quality and a versatility that make it ideal for television broadcasting.

Put it all together in the TV studio control room The video control room or production control is where the composition of the final program takes place. This room houses the video monitors, mixing console, digital effects devices, special effects generator and camera control units to put everything together.

I recommend:  Renegade Labs, Inc., developed a new digital audio mixer called Blue|328. It is designed to meet the demanding audio needs of video producers; this is your dream machine when you need powerful audio mixing technology in a compact package for your video control room. Boland Communications has a premium HDTV LCD monitor for your control room. All of their monitors (no matter what size) have the widest color spread and all-digital 10-bit processing.

Master your production in your TV studio control room The TV studio control room or master control houses the equipment that makes the production control room work. It is the final stop on the road before the signal is transmitted for broadcast. The connection boxes and circuits for mixers, controls for playback and recording feeds, satellite receivers and camera control units are some of the devices placed in this room.

I recommend:  CineForm, Inc., has a direct-to-disk video recorder, Wafian HR-1, that streamlines your workflow. You get Digital master quality in a budget-friendly product that eliminates the need for tape.
