Rental and production packages
Choose the level of support that fits your crew and event.
Every package is quoted around the dates, location, system size, delivery needs, and availability. The middle option includes an EIC to manage the technical build and help the system arrive show-ready.
Show Build + EIC
A complete technical package designed and prepared for your show, with an Engineer in Charge supporting the system.
- System design and signal-flow planning
- Prebuilt racks, labeling, patching, and testing
- EIC for deployment and technical oversight
- Documentation and crew handoff
Full Production
For organizers who need the equipment, engineering, crew, and live execution managed as one production.
- Preproduction and site planning
- Equipment, EIC, technical direction, and crew
- Switching, replay, graphics, audio, and commentary
- Setup, operation, strike, and deliverables
Final pricing and availability depend on requested dates, equipment list, transportation, staffing, and site conditions. Equipment insurance, deposits, or a rental agreement may be required.
Equipment categories
Build only the system you need—or connect the entire workflow.
Packages can be configured as standalone rentals or engineered together as part of a larger show build.
Camera Systems
Broadcast, handheld, POV, support, monitoring, power, and operator-ready camera packages.
Switching & Control
Production switchers, multiview monitoring, recording, routing, control computers, and rack systems.
Replay & Graphics
Replay workflows, playback, graphics integration, sponsor loops, and show-control support.
Audio & Comms
Mixing, announcer workflows, Dante systems, wired intercom, IFB, headsets, and program audio.
Fiber & Networking
Field fiber, SDI transport, managed networking, media conversion, Dante infrastructure, and distribution.
Power & Connectivity
Portable power, field charging, internet uplinks, networking support, and remote infrastructure.
Show builds
A pile of equipment is not the same as a finished production system.
The show-build service turns selected equipment into a documented, tested workflow. We can prepare the system before load-in, support deployment on site, and provide the EIC who owns the technical picture through final strike.
- System design around cameras, formats, signal paths, recording, streaming, audio, comms, and redundancy
- Prewire, labeling, configuration, firmware checks, and bench testing
- Technical oversight, troubleshooting, and crew handoff
- Practical signal-flow notes, assignments, deployment guidance, and strike expectations
