Our work

Studios, galleries and sets in the making

A look at the kinds of work veridoly carries out: racks and control rooms, camera positions, treated walls, lighting rigs and the training that follows each installation.

On the studio floor

The materials and steps behind a finished studio

These scenes show the stages of our work: racks and wiring, camera positions, wall treatment, lighting and rehearsal. Each stage has its own materials and checks, and each is documented before the next one begins.

  1. Gallery racks wired and labelled

    Routers, converters and power are mounted in the rack and every cable is labelled at both ends. This makes tracing a fault a matter of minutes and keeps later additions tidy.

  2. Vision mixer configured for the programme

    The mixer is set up around the programme format, with sources, keys and macros arranged so the director reaches the common actions without hunting through menus.

  3. Pedestal camera positioned on the set

    Camera positions are marked on the floor after checking shot sizes and sight lines. Operators then practise moves and framing before the first rehearsal with presenters.

  4. Acoustic panels fixed to studio walls

    Panels are placed after measuring reverberation in the room, aiming for clean speech without deadening the space. Materials are chosen to be practical and affordable to maintain.

  5. LED lighting plotted on the grid

    Fixtures are rigged on the grid to a lighting plot, with colour temperature matched across the set so presenters look consistent from one camera to the next.

  6. Crew rehearsing a run sheet

    A full rehearsal with the crew tests the run sheet, talkback and failover routine together. Anything that stumbles is noted, corrected and rehearsed again before handover.

Where we stand

Experience measured in studios, not slogans

veridoly began in 2011, so the business has worked on live studios for fifteen years. Helen Marsh has led live studio projects for regional broadcasters for over twenty years. Our team of four covers management, engineering, lighting and cameras, and acoustics, so each project has a named person for every discipline it touches.

Approach

What you can expect from a veridoly project

Every project follows the same order of work, whatever its size. We assess the room and the programme, draw the system on paper, install it, test it and then hand it over. Keeping that order means decisions are made when they are cheapest to change, and you always know which stage the work has reached.

Documentation is treated as part of the deliverable rather than an afterthought. Signal flow diagrams, patch lists, lighting plots and equipment settings are written as the work proceeds and given to your team at handover. Years later, an engineer who never met us can still understand how the studio is put together.

Training is built into the end of the job. Sessions are held at the desk and on the studio floor, using your own programmes and run sheets. Crew members practise daily operation, learn how to spot and isolate faults, and are shown the routine maintenance that keeps the studio dependable.

We prefer to be plain about what a job involves. A written quotation sets out what is included, what is not and what could change the scope, such as a room that needs more acoustic treatment than first expected. You can then decide with the full picture in front of you.

Our team keeps its roles distinct. Daniel Prowse handles signal flow and documentation, Priya Nair plans lighting and camera positions, Tom Whitcombe measures and treats the room, and Helen Marsh oversees planning, budgets and delivery. You deal with the person who knows the subject.
