Gain real control of a live production deck
Every session is built around live work. You will switch, cue and communicate in a real control room environment, so that the first time you sit at a vision mixer on a paid job will not be the first time you have done it.
Multi-camera switching
Cut between up to eight live camera sources with clean timing and confident shot choices.
Live broadcasting techniques
Work to a running order, count in, and keep a programme on air when things change.
Real-time video operation
Control routing, keying, multiviewers and signal flow without losing the picture.
Replay and graphics
Cue replays, lower thirds and full-screen graphics in step with the director.
Talkback discipline
Use clear intercom language so the whole crew hears the right call at the right moment.
Production management
Plan rehearsals, brief crews and manage television and streaming productions end to end.
Course modules
Six modules, one complete live production workflow
Book a single module to sharpen a specific skill, or combine them in our full programmes.

Learn M/E banks, keyers, macros and transitions on professional-grade switching decks.
Routing and signal flow
Trace a signal from camera to transmission and fix problems before the audience notices.
Comms and audio feeds
Work with talkback, programme audio and IFB so every crew member stays in the loop.
Timing and rundowns
Follow a rundown to the second, hit breaks on time and adapt when the schedule shifts.
