Oh the luxury of Director AND a Vision Mixer.
2:15 to be a vision mixer you need to be able to operate a remote control with 4 buttons 🤣
She has only four cameras, plus several VT’s or hard drive servers.
When I sit in front of a switcher I have 12-20 cameras and up to 14 replay servers. A little different in the remote sports world.
She's cutting directly rather than previewing and then cut / auto? Maybe that makes sense for a show like Strictly where things happen quickly (dancing)
Nice bit. In the USA - the Vision Mixer is the Technical Director.
In my tenure as a TD or Director (usually shows not booked for a TD) - I worked on several brands of switchers no longer made. I started on 2 smaller RCA broadcast switchers then we went to GVG 1600's. I worked on the first GVG 1400 switcher ever delivered - which had been modified for afv operation.
Most of my career was with large Live Room analog and digital Grass Valley products - with 4 years on Ampex switchers (which had just been bought from Duca-Richardson). I supervised several Master Control - on air switching - rooms with various GVG product. Plus a small Sony SEG at the edit suite at the National Association of Broadcasters's edit suite. I supervised a post house with 3 edit suites with large Thomson digital switchers - which I like. Add to that my free-lance live work on the now long extinct Computer Image (the precursor to Duca-Richardson), Standard Data and Vital large broadcast switchers.
Don't know most of the mixers you were telling about. But I'm only a mixer for about three years now. I love working on a sony, not to keen on the Grass. Making a timeline takes too long on the grass, I rather do an offline edit on the Sony.
What does a TD do? Do you direct the crew and make the decision what goes on air or is it the same as here in Europe with a director next to you and occasionally doing what you think is better?
The TD punches the show under the Director’s instructions. He/she often handles pre-production of news segments. Often a another Director may serve in rotation as a TD.
Studio 11 (Former news studio N2 before Stage 6 opened) is shown here. Sadly, it was demolished, along with TC4-TC8 (Main Building), TC9 (Restaurant Building), TC10 (Spur/Stage 4) and TC0/TC12 (Stage 5).

I'm a vision mixer from the Netherlands, love this clip! I always wanted to know how colleague's from an other country do they're job. Pretty much the same as over here though...
@@erincarson8998 Sad. Isn't it?
Job ? Pressing a few buttons when told to so and pulling a lever 😂 it’s amazing anyone get paid for it. 🤫
@@atmakali9599 hahaha. it's so amazing how few cut the mustard though.
Did Some UA-camr Using Vision Mixer
In France, it is the director who cuts between video sources, there is no vision mixer. The technical part of the mixing desk (setting, programming etc...) is handled by a technician called a "truquiste".
Thank you so much Naomi Neufeld forthis video. From here iwant to believe that you are making use of the Ross visual mixer. I do the same work in Nigeria but I have never come across the Ross visual mixer before but I am so interested it and want to lear. Please can you recommend a certified tutorial website that can give me a certificate after the training? thank you so much
Nice one Naomi, you're a legend!!
Hi, I’m from Sri Lanka and I do this job here.
I would pay to do a director demo. At live production expos, there should be a concert going, and you could be a director to try out a company's equipment.
Hi, I’m from Brazil and I do this job here. I have one doubt what’s the difference between technical director to vision mixer? Thanks for all
In my world, which wasn’t live, but studio to tape, or scene by scene...
The TD was responsible for all the tech gear, supervising CCU operators, audio technology, everything in between the director and the crew/production.
finally i can explain what im doing!! tnx
:)
I always say I deliver news papers when I'm done explaining...
Very interesting. Thanks.
This. Is. Awesome.
thank you - interesting
thenk you veary very much
i love it
Spot on !
2:16 working under extreme pressure 😂😂😂😂 pressing a few buttons. What a bulshitter. 🤣
If television workers ever lost their pretend jobs it’s straight to McDonald’s. No skills.
Absolutely anyone including my 90 year old grandmother could do that job. It’s ridiculous. Just pressing a few buttons 🤷🏻♂️ it’s insane the job actually exists.
Okay boomer
Fun fact: You get paid not for how hard is your job, but for what your jobs provides.
You can say the same if you compare a doctors jobs and a basketball NBA player.
If you like watching TV, a vision mixer was needed... thats all
@ haha bolox. Anyone can do these jobs. Tv workers think they’re doing something important by pressing a few buttons and talking their jobs up. I’m addicted to bulshit and these people provide me with an endless amount of it. 😂
@ thank you for moderate and polite explanation this topic needed. I say this because I've experienced this job (tv news, live talk shows, live shows of musical bands broadcasting something like top of the pops type of shows., religious concerts..) basicaly its team work and it can be very creative looking from the perspective of final product.
Its not "push the button" and it ask for some higher level of attention of course.
@@atmakali9599 sorry, youre ex was involved in this type of job maybe?
Your viewpoint is so rigid...sad
As a TD, I can tell you that the job is more then just pressing buttons. In certain studios you run the show, communicating with all departments at once in split second instances.
She presses 4 buttons to switch channels. She also pulls a few levers. Haha 😂 it’s amazing anyone gets paid for it.
A real skill television workers have is talking their silly jobs up to be important and therefore keeping them 🤫
Man, stop commenting, nobody is giving you attention hahahaha just me and because you are boring, not because you're making any sense
