Studio Services: your studio, ready when you go live

Managed support for in-house video studios, streaming rooms and worship spaces. Your gear is set up, documented, monitored and fixed by a broadcast engineer with more than 35 years in live TV and events.

Who it’s for

Plenty of organizations now have a studio, and nobody on staff whose job is to run it. If that sounds like yours, I can help.

IT & facilities teams

You inherited cameras, switchers, NDI, LED walls and a streaming PC, and they all sit on your network. You need someone who speaks both broadcast and IT, and who works within your security policies.

Corporate & marketing studios

Podcasts, town halls, webinars, executive messages and social content. Shows have to start on time and look professional, even when the crew is small or rotates.

Houses of worship

Your Sunday livestream is run by volunteers. Keep it reliable with pre-service checks, simple run sheets and fast help when something breaks.

What’s included

Health check & documentation

A walk-through of your system, followed by a signal-flow diagram, a gear list and a one-page run sheet your team can actually use.

Pre-show checks & monitoring

Remote checks of your stream, encoders and recording before important shows, with live monitoring while you’re on air.

Training

Hands-on sessions for staff and volunteers on switching, audio, cameras and streaming, built around your exact setup.

Troubleshooting & on-call help

When something breaks, you reach a real engineer by phone or remote session, with an on-site visit when it’s needed.

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled visits for firmware updates, cable and connector checks, fiber cleaning and testing, and calibration.

Upgrades & integration

NDI and IP video, vMix and OBS, recording workflows, plus AI tools for captions, transcripts and quick edits. You get advice that doesn’t push any one brand.

How it works

  1. Free 15-minute health check. Tell me what you have and what keeps going wrong.
  2. Site visit & documentation. I map the system, fix the quick wins and write the run sheet.
  3. Pick a plan. From then on, your studio is supported week after week.

Common questions

Will you work with our IT department?

Yes. I work within your network and security policies, including VLANs, multicast and firewall rules for NDI and streaming. I document everything so your team stays in control.

Do you only support certain brands?

No. I work with whatever you have: PTZ cameras, Blackmagic, Ross, Panasonic, Barco, vMix, OBS, NDI and more.

Remote or on-site?

Both. On-site visits cover the Philadelphia region, remote support works anywhere, and I’m glad to travel for bigger projects.
