How an engagement with infozelle works, what we need from you, and what to expect from a site visit, a written review or a day of coaching in your studio.
These answers cover the practical points that come up before work starts: scope, access, preparation and how we write things down. If yours is missing, the contact page reaches us directly.
We work with producers, studio managers and technical leads at broadcasters and independent production companies. Most clients run news programmes, interviews or live shows from a studio they already have. Some are planning a new gallery or refitting an old one, and some simply want a second opinion on a workflow that has become unsteady.
For equipment integration, acoustics, lighting and camera coaching we come to your studio, because the room and the kit are the subject. Workflow reviews can begin with documents and a call, then include a visit to watch a rehearsal or a live programme. We agree the format with you before quoting.
Yes. Live studios rarely have empty days, so we plan visits around your rundown, rehearsals and maintenance windows. Where possible we do measurement and wiring work when the studio is dark, and coaching during rehearsal. Tell us which hours are off limits and we will build the plan around them.
A simple floor plan, a list of the main equipment in the gallery and studio, and a short description of the formats you produce are enough to start. Photographs of the set and the control room help. If you have a recent rundown or a note of past on-air problems, send those too.
You receive a written summary in plain language: what we measured or observed, what we changed or recommend, and in what order to do it. Integration work includes wiring and signal documentation. Acoustic and lighting work includes the measurements or plans behind our advice, so your own engineers can follow them.
No. We advise on what to specify and how to connect and test it, but the purchasing stays with you or your chosen supplier. This keeps our recommendations tied to your studio and budget rather than to a product list. We can review quotes you have received and say whether they fit the plan.
Camera Operation Coaching is built around live news and interview formats: framing, movement and shot sequencing. Sessions run in your studio with your cameras and, ideally, your presenters or stand-ins. We can work with experienced operators who want to tighten habits as well as with newer crew.
Send an enquiry through the contact page describing the studio, the format and what you want help with. We reply with questions if anything is unclear, then send a written quotation. Work starts once you confirm it, and payment is by invoice settled by bank transfer. Prices are listed on the prices page.
Live television leaves little room for improvisation, so we try to make our own work predictable. Each engagement follows the same three habits: look closely, write things down, and leave your team able to run the result without us.
We start by watching how the studio is actually used, not how the drawings say it is. That may mean sitting in the gallery during a rehearsal, walking the floor with a sound meter, or tracing a signal path from camera to output. Many on-air faults come from small mismatches between systems that were installed at different times. Seeing them in context lets us propose changes that fit your routine rather than interrupt it.
Everything we find and recommend is put in writing, in language a producer and an engineer can both read. We list what is working well as well as what should change, and we rank the changes so you can decide what to do first within your budget. Wiring diagrams, lighting plans and measurement tables are kept alongside the summary, so a new member of your technical team can pick the documents up and understand them.
The aim is a studio that runs steadily without our presence. We explain why each change was made, show your crew how to check it, and agree who in your team owns each part afterwards. Coaching and workflow work in particular are meant to be absorbed into your own habits. If a problem returns later, you can write to us, but you should not need to for ordinary running.
