How this room works
Built to be argued with
Two galleries, one set of cameras
A hybrid Vizrt chain on one desk and a complete Blackmagic ATEM ecosystem on the other, both fed from the same sources. The argument between SDI and IP, or between two vendors, stops being theoretical the moment both are cutting the same programme.
Run it yourself
Bring a running order. The room is loaded before you arrive so the session starts with your hands on the panel rather than with a setup, and within twenty minutes you know whether one operator can hold the show you are being asked to deliver.
The failure you have to see
We pull a source mid-programme. A gallery that only ever demonstrates the happy path tells you nothing about the night it matters.
