What we do

Control room services for live television and streaming

trendumu covers the work that happens behind a live picture: switching between cameras, streaming to online platforms, building gallery rooms, covering music events, running graphics and replay, and planning crews. You can book one service or several together, depending on the show.

  1. Multi-Camera Vision Switching

    A technical director cuts between camera feeds live, following the show script and the director's calls.

  2. Live Streaming Production

    We take your event feed from the stage to online platforms with graphics, audio and a monitored stream.

  3. Control Room Design and Fit-Out

    We plan and install compact gallery rooms with monitor walls, intercom and signal routing.

  4. Concert and Festival Coverage

    Camera crews and a mobile control desk record or relay music events for screens and broadcast.

  5. Real-Time Graphics and Replay

    Operators run lower thirds, scoreboards and instant replay during live shows.

  6. Production Management and Crew Planning

    We schedule crews, kit and run sheets so a live broadcast starts on time and runs smoothly.

Tell us the venue, the date and what the audience will watch on. We will say which services fit and ask for anything we need before quoting.

Multi-Camera Vision Switching

This service suits organisers and production companies whose shows use several cameras. A technical director sits at the vision mixer and cuts live between feeds, following the script and the director's calls throughout the performance.

Multi-Camera Vision Switching
Cutting to the script
The technical director works from your running order and shot list, so each camera change lands on the right moment rather than being guessed during the show.
Following the director's calls
Instructions arrive over intercom and are acted on at once. We keep talkback clear and brief so the whole gallery stays composed when the pace picks up.
Checks before the doors open
We test every camera feed, monitor and routing path ahead of the show, and agree with you what happens if a source drops out mid-performance.
Output to screens or broadcast
The switched programme can go to venue screens, a recording, a broadcaster or a streaming encoder, depending on what the event needs.

Send us the running order, the number of cameras you expect and any pre-recorded material, and let us know where the programme needs to be delivered.

How it works

From first enquiry to the final cut

Every production follows the same plain sequence. It starts with a conversation about your event and ends with a handover once the show is over. We keep each step short and written down, so you always know what has been agreed and who is responsible.

  1. Enquiry and brief

    You contact us through the contact page with the date, venue and kind of show. We read it, ask follow-up questions about cameras, audience and delivery, and check that the work suits our crews and kit.

    What you leave withA shared understanding of the event and a list of open questions

  2. Site check and planning

    Where the venue is new to us we look at power, cable routes, sightlines and network. Priya builds the schedule, and Daniel sketches the signal path for the gallery.

    What you leave withA draft run sheet, kit list and crew plan

  3. Written quotation

    We send a written quotation setting out what is included, what could change the price and how payment works. You confirm it in writing before we reserve crew and equipment.

    What you leave withA quotation you can accept or adjust

  4. Rig, rehearse, go live

    The crew arrives early, builds the gallery, tests every source and runs a rehearsal with the director. During the show Helen switches while Tom handles graphics and replay.

  5. Wrap and handover

    After the show we derig, hand over any recordings and note anything worth changing next time. The invoice follows, payable by bank transfer.

    What you leave withDelivered files, a short debrief and an invoice

Client reviews

What organisers say after the show

We had four cameras on a stage with no room to spare, and the gallery crew sorted the layout in an hour. Calls over intercom were short and clear, and the cuts followed our script closely. We would book them again for the next season.

Rachel EllisonEvents manager, regional arts venue

  • The stream stayed up for the whole evening and the graphics were tidy. Priya kept us informed about each step beforehand, so nothing came as a surprise on the night.

    Marcus Hale · Producer, independent production company

  • Having a mobile desk at the festival meant our screens showed the main stage live. The crew were polite with our volunteers and packed up quickly afterwards.

    Joanne Birch · Festival organiser, Dorset

  • They fitted out a small gallery room for us, with monitors, intercom and routing that our own staff could learn within a day. The handover notes were useful.
