So so smooth explanation Congratulations!!! great tutorial. I've been watching other guys but nothing compares with your dedication to show and explain how does it works the operation Thanks very much indeed greetings from Uruguay (a cameraman)
I don't work in Television - I don't even like watching Television. I really love the technology that makes TV happen though so I found this quite interesting.
7:00 One thing I'd like to add: It's still very useful for a Director to "ready" a camera that's already on standby, this is so the cameraman will know that they have to be ready again. Saying "take" out of nowhere may be ok for the TD to understand, but for the cameramen, it can be very detrimental.
A very excellent and details explains, but it is only for this particular studio and switcher. Other studio and switcher may prefer on how their setup and switcher.
Very good instructional video about how television is in to the control room, just let me add something, the technical director should be able to put in preview signals who is going to be live, that way cameramen and the audio operator could SEE wich is the next source,in the control room one very good set up is the audio operator behind of the switcher ON A SEPARATED ROOM with an preview and live monitor, long time ago i worked in a USA tv station where all equipment was next one to one, for me that was very unprofessional video and audio on the same place. The moment i seat there i felt very uncomfortable,the audio operator was to my side...checking mics, while i was switching...Thank for sharing
That wasn't really a wipe. Wasn't it more of a compression transition from top left? Also, I was surprised to see how the graphic, and the name titles, are completely separate. What newsroom program do you use? I used iNews back at CNN. Great video. Very informative!
With great respect, very few professional vision mixers (or tech.directors) would "drive" programme/preset this way. Especially within live tv, there's rarely time to always use the preset/take 'option' to get to the next camera or video source. I've been a Vision Mixer (or in USA terminology, a Tech.Director) for almost 50 years & I have NEVER used the programme/pre-set buses like that. On virtually EVERY occasion I can imagine, I would always "hot-cut" the required sources on the programme (red-lit) bus, unless of course I was about to do a mix to the preset bus. Given ALL the years I've been a VM/TD, on every genre and type of both recorded and live TV programme, in studios & in outside broadcast trucks, I would NEVER, EVER tell a trainee to ALWAYS keep their left hand on the preview/preset buttons - that's just a recipe for absolute disaster ! Your left hand should always be on the live, red-lit 'programme' row of buttons. Although it IS possible to use the thumb of your left hand to also pre-select the preview/preset buttons on the row under the programme (live) buttons, unless you've got a large "span" with very big hands, it's NOT generally a good idea. Sorry guys, but good luck to all of you out there in TV land 🙂 xxx P.S. There is also a very good instructional video by one of the top UK vision mixers, Naomi Neufeld, which is definitely worth a look. Naomi also confirms my own "assertion" that good VMs will ALWAYS have their LEFT hand over the TRANSMISSION row of (hot-cut( buttons.
I'd say like any form of technical art, that's one way of doing it. Hot taking everything may work in some cases and in some cases not work as well. I saw that Naomi Neufeld and I don't recall seeing a spot where she said you can only use the hot take row. I saw her using the preview row here and there. She and others may prefer to hot take for their particular application. When I switch for a life band with multiple camera operators (some handheld), I use the preview so that an operator knows to be ready and I bring them hot quickly. It can also give time for them to steady their shot when I need to bring them live. In more static cam/studio applications, mostly hot taking may work a bit more. But I think there are multiple says based on the person.
Paul walker the reason to use your hand over preset depend of the dinamic of the program, when you make cuts it's ok but yet the cameramen could see on the camera monitor wich signal is the next one, also if you have the audio operator behind you (that's the most proper set up in control room) he could see what is the next source to open audio key, if you make professionally with the switcher you should be ready to cut,mix transición and compose with the foreground something called chroma, or fx saying you have been worked for 50 years and telling not to put your hands on preset is completely wrong because you can make a mistake, that happen in a very fast production sometimes, with all respect 50 years don' t tell nothing after what you said...
Paul, had to disagree, I was not taught that way either, but that WAS just over 30 years ago on an old Grass Valley 1600 series production switcher as a student in a tech program for the TV Broadcast Tech at a local tech college. We were taught to use the preview row and then either cut to, or dissolve or wipe to. The GVG 1600 series switchers were similar in layout to this one, but from the late 70's so was getting up there in years but still largely serviceable. But that was due to the fact that we students were noobies at it and it was a great way to learn and as you gained experience, you could hot take if you felt like it, but if I recall, it was not encouraged so much.
Not really. I have absolutly NO experience in working with media production but due to me being technically curious and a nerd I can follow along quite good anyway. But nowadays you don't really need a hardware interface anymore since there's software out there that acts the same way as their older cousins...
I have a question. What let’s the camera man know that their camera is live? I know something lights up on the camera to let them know but I don’t know what is called or where I can get it from.

we want to hear more from u
please talk more about

thanks alot ....
Realize now every switcher board is different. You actually have to get the model and make of the switcher bard you;re working on.
Not really.

@@thiesenf Good for u nerd.

This is great. Can you give tips for a video production team that is just starting

You cut video on 2.22
Is this a school? Are you a professor or some other teacher for a broadcasting school.
Yes, it is; this is a training video for high school students. You can follow their work here: www.oc-tv.org
TheTrauger daaaaam High School!? my high school didn't have this and I'm barley learning every at Columbia College Chicago
TheTrauger any chance for students from other countries??
A relic of the dying broadcast industry
Looks more like current production equipment. See: Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E.
Uh... also a "relic" of the rapidly-expanding livestreaming market?
Any body know what’s this switcher brand?
