The Role
The role of the Technical Director is to oversee the technical quality of the required resources for the production.
The technical quality mentioned is to setup the Control Room and ensure that all the video and audio sources are available and routed to the Vision mixer as well as the Audio mixer for the production.
This can start with switching on the Studio cameras, connecting the video cable from one of the 4 wall boxes located on the studio floor to the return vision monitor on the floor and that its getting the correct feed from the Tricaster, that is Program output.
Ensure that the microphones required are patched through the wall boxes and that the mic output is available through the Audio Mixer. Check Phantom power is On from the mixer, if required? This can be passed to the Audio operator if one is available.
Check that the Tricaster is selected to the correct session. This ensures that the correct inputs are available and showing on the multi-view screen for the Vision Switcher / Director of the production. If some vision inputs are not wing, then correct it by adding them to the TC-1 inputs
