Switcher Operations
Live production relies on precision switching between cameras. Industry-standard switchers like Ross Carbonite and Grass Valley Kayenne enable seamless transitions.
Communication Flow
Producers and directors coordinate with camera ops through headsets, calling shots and anticipating action. Timing is everything.
"Ready Camera 3... Take 3... Standby replay..."
Multiview Monitoring
Operators track 20+ camera feeds simultaneously on multiview displays, ready to cut to any angle at a moment's notice.
Assistant Director (AD)
The AD manages timing, coordinates commercial breaks, and keeps the show on schedule. They're the director's right hand, ensuring every element hits its mark.
"30 seconds to break... standby clips..."
