Show Control & Media Server Operations
The right content, in the right place, at the right moment — operated live.
Equipment alone doesn't run a show. We operate the playback, screens and visual cues live — so the right content appears in the right place at exactly the right moment. This one discipline covers VJ, Resolume, Watchout, media-server and AV-console operation.
What we do
- Live media-server operation and multi-output playback.
- VJ and Resolume Arena performance, mixing visuals in sync with the show.
- Watchout timeline programming across multiple displays and projectors.
- AV-console operation, screen routing and live content switching.
- Edge-blended output, LED canvas mapping and backup playback.
Where it’s used
- Concerts, festivals and club shows (VJ / Resolume)
- Corporate keynotes and multi-screen conferences (Watchout)
- Product launches with tightly cued content
- Any show with more than one output to keep in sync

A redundant playback path ready if the primary ever drops.

Questions
Good to know
What does a media-server operator do?
They run the playback system live — loading content, firing cues and switching what's on each screen so the visuals hit exactly on time with the show.
Watchout or Resolume — which do you use?
Both, for different jobs. Watchout suits timeline-based, multi-display shows like keynotes; Resolume suits live, performed visuals like concerts and club nights. We pick the tool that fits the show.
Do you provide backup during the show?
Yes. For critical shows we run a redundant playback path so the program keeps going even if the primary machine fails.
