Services
Six areas of studio operations, from equipment records to live show cues, and how each one is set up with your crew.
Six ways we support your studio
Studio Equipment Management in practice
This service suits studio managers and technical supervisors who share kit between several studios or productions. Equipment is entered once, then booked, checked and returned through one record that every department can read.
Contact
- Inventory of cameras, lenses and monitors
- Each item is listed with its serial details, accessories and current location. We help you agree naming and grouping so crews find a lens or a monitor by the same words each time.
- Booking across studios
- Departments request kit against a show and a time slot. Clashes show up before the day, so a camera is not promised to two studios at the same call.
- Maintenance and fault records
- Faults, repairs and routine checks are logged against the item. Engineers see the history at a glance and can decide whether a piece of kit is safe to put on a show.
- Cabling and small items
- Cable runs, adaptors and stands are grouped into sets that travel together. Counting a set back in at the end of a recording takes minutes rather than a search of the gallery.
Before we start, gather your current kit list in whatever form it exists, even a spreadsheet, along with a note of which studios share equipment.
What studio teams tell us
Before newzara, our lighting changes between the lunchtime bulletin and the evening entertainment recording lived in three different notebooks. Now the rig plan, the timings and the crew assignments sit in one place, and the floor manager can answer questions without hunting for them.
Marcus Ellery ·The shot lists are clear enough that our freelance camera operators arrive already knowing the dolly moves. Rehearsals start with fewer questions and fewer pauses.
Sunita Rao ·Our rundowns used to be emailed around and edited in several copies. A single shared schedule has made late changes much easier to handle in the gallery.
Graham Pollitt ·Equipment records are finally honest. We can see which monitors are due for checking and which cameras are free before we promise them to another show.
