Services

Six areas of broadcast consultancy, how an engagement runs from first enquiry to delivery, and what we need from you to begin.

What we do

Consultancy for studios and live media

eventulu covers the technical side of television and live production, from the studio floor to the control room. Each service can be booked alone or combined with others on the same site.

  1. Studio Design Consultancy

    We plan the layout and equipment of television studios, from floor plans to cable routes and control room placement. The aim is a space the crew can work in without tripping over its own infrastructure. Drawings are written so an installer can build from them.

  2. Camera System Configuration

    We set up and match studio and field camera chains, covering colour, framing and monitoring. Daniel works with your operators so every camera reads the same on the gallery wall. You receive notes on the settings used, so the setup can be repeated.

  3. Stage Lighting Planning

    We draw lighting plots for studio sets and live stages that balance the look, the power available and what the cameras need. Tom keeps rigs practical and loads within safe limits. The plot is a document your electricians and operators can follow.

  4. Audio Synchronisation Review

    We check lip-sync, timing and signal paths across mixers, embedders and playout chains. Priya traces where delay enters the chain and measures it, rather than judging by eye. The result is a written account of each path and what to change.

  5. Control Room Workflow Audit

    A written review of how your gallery team, vision mixer and graphics systems work together. We observe a working session and note where information or cues are lost between roles. The report ranks the findings so you can act on them in order.

  6. Team Training Sessions

    On-site workshops for crews on live production routines, signal flow and fault finding. Content is built around your own equipment and the faults your team actually meets. Sessions suit mixed groups of operators, engineers and producers.

How it runs

From first enquiry to delivered findings

Every engagement follows the same sequence, so you know what to expect before anything is agreed. We begin by listening to what the site needs, then agree the scope in writing. Work happens on your premises or from your documents. Nothing starts until the quotation is confirmed.

  1. Enquiry through the contact page

    You describe the studio, the equipment and the problem as you see it. We read it, ask follow-up questions by e-mail or phone, and say whether the work suits one of our services. There is no obligation at this stage.

    What you leave with

    A shared understanding of the question and which service fits it.

  2. Written quotation

    We set out the scope, what the price includes and what could change it. You check it against your own plans and ask for changes. Work begins only after you confirm the quotation in writing.

    What you leave with

    A written quotation you can accept, amend or decline.

  3. Site visit or document review

    A consultant visits the studio or works through your drawings, signal diagrams and logs. We measure and observe rather than assume. Your staff are asked questions while the equipment is running.

    What you leave with

    Notes and measurements gathered from your real setup.

  4. Report and recommendations

    We write up what we found and what we advise, in plain language with the technical detail behind it. Findings are ordered by importance. We go through the report with you and answer questions.

    What you leave with

    A written report with ranked recommendations.

  5. Invoice and follow-up questions

    After delivery we send an invoice, paid by bank transfer. Questions about the report remain welcome afterwards. Cancellations and refunds follow the payment and refund policy.

    What you leave with

    An invoice and a report you can hand to installers or managers.

Preparation

What to have ready before we begin

A consultancy works faster when the basics are on the table. None of this needs to be polished. Rough drawings and honest descriptions of problems are more useful than tidy summaries.

Documents and drawings

Gather any floor plans, signal flow diagrams, equipment lists and cable schedules you have. Old or incomplete versions are still helpful, and we will mark where reality has drifted from them. If a drawing does not exist, say so and we will build a rough one on site. Include the model names of key equipment where you know them. A photograph of the rack or the gallery desk often answers several questions at once.

People and access

Tell us who runs the studio day to day and who can authorise changes. We often need ten minutes with the operators who feel the problems first, since they describe faults in ways logs do not. Confirm how we get into the building and when the space is free. If the studio is in use for transmission, agree a quiet window for any measurement that interrupts signals.

The question you want answered

A clear question shapes the whole engagement. It might be that the picture looks different on each camera, that audio drifts late in long shows, or that the crew struggle during busy cues. Write down what happens, how often, and what you have already tried. Mention constraints such as budget limits, power capacity or fixed dates. We would rather know the limits at the start than discover them in the report.

FAQ

Questions we hear often

These answers cover the practical points that come up before a first engagement. If yours is not here, ask us through the contact page.

Can we book just one service rather than several?
Yes. Each service stands alone and many clients start with a single review. If findings in one area touch another, we say so in the report and you decide whether to go further. Nothing is added without your agreement.
Do you travel to our studio?
On-site work is part of most services, since we need to see equipment running. We are based in Cambridge and visit studios across the UK. Travel arrangements are discussed when the quotation is prepared.
How is the price worked out?
The quotation lists the scope, what the price includes and what could change it, such as the size of the site or the number of camera chains. The prices page explains the general approach. The figure you pay is the one in your confirmed quotation.
How do we pay?
After the work is delivered we send an invoice, which you pay by bank transfer. Nothing is purchased on the website itself. Enquiries go through the contact page, followed by a written quotation or confirmation.
Can you work while we are on air?
We can observe and take non-intrusive readings during live use. Anything that interrupts signals is arranged for a quiet window agreed with your engineers. We would not touch a transmission path without your say-so.
Do you supply or install equipment?
We advise, plan, configure and review. We do not sell hardware, so our recommendations are not tied to a product range. Installation is carried out by your own staff or contractors, working from our drawings.
What does the final report look like?
It is a written document with a summary at the front, findings in order of importance, and supporting measurements behind them. We walk you through it and answer questions. It is written to be passed to colleagues or installers.
What if we need to cancel?
Cancellations and refunds follow the payment and refund policy, which sets out what applies at each stage. Tell us as early as you can and we will explain where you stand. Please read the policy before confirming a quotation.
