A look at the kinds of production buzztrix has worked on since 2012, grouped by the problem each one set out to solve rather than by client.
Every job begins with a look at the space as it is. Ceiling height, wall surfaces, power, daylight and noise from outside all shape what is possible, and they are far cheaper to deal with before kit arrives than after. A survey often shows that a modest change, such as moving a desk or adding panels in one corner, does more than new equipment would. We write down what we find so you can see the reasoning behind each recommendation.
Live television leaves little room for discovering faults on air, so testing takes a fixed place in every plan. Signal paths are checked end to end, microphones are tried at real speaking positions and lighting levels are saved and recalled. Where a stage is involved, we use the sound check to run cameras and feeds as well. If something fails in rehearsal, that is the system working as it should.
We would rather your own staff understand the setup than depend on a call to us. Cables are labelled, settings are written down and run sheets use plain words. Where training is part of the job, operators learn on the controls they will actually use. When we do return, it is because you need more capacity, not because nobody could find a switch.
