Five areas of advice for television networks and live event producers, from the first floor plan to the signal flow on the night of the show.
tickerzi advises on how a production space is planned, equipped and operated. Our work covers studio layout, camera control, lighting, audio chains and live workflows. Each area can be taken alone or combined, depending on where your team needs a second opinion.
Layout and planning advice for television studios, from floor plans to cable routing and control room placement.
Guidance on selecting, configuring and integrating camera control and shading setups for multi-camera productions.
Lighting plans for studios and live events that balance look, colour consistency and operating practicality.
Advice on audio chains, mixing consoles and monitoring for broadcast studios and live event productions.
Production workflow reviews covering signal flow, communications and crew roles for live television and events.
Tell us what you already have in place and what is not working. We will then agree the scope with you in writing before any work begins.
ContactBoth approaches reduce friction for a crew, but they start from different places. This comparison helps you decide whether the physical space or the way people use it needs attention first.
Many projects need both. If you are unsure which comes first, describe the problem in a short message and we will suggest an order.
This service suits studio operators and event producers who need a lighting plan that looks right on camera and is practical to run. Priya Nair leads it, working from your space, your cameras and the programmes you make.
Contact
Floor plans, camera models, current fixture lists and a few frames from recent programmes are the most useful things to send us beforehand.
These are the questions producers and facilities managers ask us most often. If yours is not covered, the contact page is the quickest way to reach us.
No. tickerzi is a consultancy, so our advice is not tied to any product or supplier. We help you specify what you need and compare options on their merits. Purchasing stays with you or your chosen integrator, and we can review quotations if you wish.
Yes. Each of the five services stands alone. Some clients start with a single review, for example an audio chain, and add other areas later. Others ask for several together because the problems are linked. We agree the scope in writing first.
Yes. Lighting, sound and workflow advice applies to both. Live events add pressure on set-up time, communications and crew roles, so we look closely at those. Studio projects tend to focus more on layout, cabling and long-term operation.
Where the work depends on a physical space, a visit is usually the best way to begin. We look at the room, the equipment and how your crew works in it. Some reviews can be done from drawings and documents, which we will tell you at the outset.
A short description of the problem and the programmes involved is enough to begin. Floor plans, equipment lists, signal diagrams and crew structures help if you have them. None of it needs to be polished. We would rather see the working documents as they are.
Our prices page sets out what each service costs, what is included and what changes the figure. After an enquiry we send a written quotation. Once you confirm it, we invoice and you pay by bank transfer.
Yes. Each engagement ends with written findings and recommendations that your team can act on and share internally. They are specific to your space and workflow, with priorities marked so you can decide what to tackle first.
Yes, and we prefer it. Your engineers know the equipment and the habits of the house. We bring a fresh view and experience from other productions. Recommendations are written so your team can carry them out or brief a contractor.
Send an enquiry through the contact page and we will reply with questions about your project, then a written quotation once the scope is clear.
