Capture Rigs

Mini Rigs

Our Mini Rigs are ideally suited for 4 – 8 cameras. It includes a single client/director monitor, monitoring and control for the hothead operator and a compact engineering position. These setups can use a central record server or record in camera. Audio would be to an ENG operator level and a small UHF to UHF radio setup for Comms. Ideal for mobile production and setups in small and discreet areas with the option of wireless camera monitoring and PTZ control.

Maxi Rigs

Maxi Rig setups support a 2 tier control room setup with a multi monitor gallery as well as some monitoring into the support areas. Hot Head operator and technical support monitoring. This would include switching, monitoring and control of 8 – 24 cameras. With such a large number of cameras we would look to minimise the amount of data created by switching the cameras into 8-16 channels of a centralised mRes server. Audio would multitrack all audio sources and provide a Program mix. Communication is a small matrix with comms panels in key areas with talent listening on the panels and a UHF or beltpack solution for the crew on the move. 

Jumbo Rigs

We are able to build systems to suit almost any production requirement, having completed projects of up to 100 cameras and 32 channels of video ingest. Using our compact and efficient mRes servers, every angle can be captured. We design and build multifunctional control spaces with technical and operational monitoring that provide the full scope of production possibilities. Comprehensive audio setup with multi zone radio mic receivers and fx mics combined with multi-node comms to ensure clear and reliable communications site wide for very large numbers of users.
