Camera Control Units [Understanding the Basics]

[@thomaskerrigan3244]

I would love to see a more in depth tutorial on shading cameras (matching, keeping them matched, etc)! That would really help me as a digital media major! Thanks for the great videos, and keep it up!

[@lllllllllllllllll533]

I second this request

[@davidamack8176]

He ever do it?

[@VovaVidilin]

Thank you for covering these complex matters in such a well made video

[@mdrahma8]

I’m a broadcast and studio engineer in our TV station We mostly do the ccu work here which is fun Nice video, continue the good work 👍🏼

[@bojorquez99able]

Great video! Would like to see more on scopes and keeping cameras balanced through a live event outside.

Long time! Happy to be here! #KenyanNo1Broadcaster

Would love to see a video on how you wire intercom/tally into the CCU.

[@rammstein998]

great video mate! I'll have a look at the other ones for sure

[@davidbasset7557]

great stuff, can't wait for more

[@BroadcastBuddyTV]

Thank you!

[@videodudeX]

Good video. I've been shading for over 25 years! PLEASE do a video that describes how scopes work and their importance in color balance exposure and camera matching. The newbees I try to teach don't seem to get it!

[@tomasoconnor]

Great informative videos. Thanks for the great content.

Interesting differences in terminology. In the UK, composition is what the camera op does - as in composing the shot. Composing is not the racks engineer's job as it involves moving the camera, while the US uses composition in a different sense. Back focus is the camera ops responsibility too, things that need adjusting on the camera are their role, the racks op does the electronics. I didn't realise the US split the roles this way.

[@marcushoman9346]

Not sure about his take on "composition" term or Video Op either. But never done sports. I've been a Director and an EIC (Engineer in Charge) shading cameras all around the world supporting large corporate meeting. Depending on the crewing schedule, I often build a camera or 3, set the height and rough in the balance. After that I return to all the other signal flow, routing and making the system show ready. It isn't until the cam ops arrive that they work with me to perfect the back focus. Framing and composition of the camera shots are discussed from the director to the cam op. All things within the composition tell a story. Personally I would not include correctly calibrating the cameras to have any relation to the term composition.

[@mikecumbo7531]

@@marcushoman9346I work sports almost exclusively and the video op doesn’t have anything to do with “composition” unless the video op is helping a rookie camera op out or perhaps helping a director out. Directors have a “vision” in their head how their show is supposed to look, they tell the camera ops what they want, first during a camera meeting and then during the game.

I was about to say in the uk we use the terminology racks, racks engineer and racking.

Hi what is the RCU Hitachi software base solution you mention? and do you know how to build one? Love the video!

[@cheslynholland1487]

Thanks for all the amazing content. Do you have a video on how to set your exposure, when you work with natural light vs studio light. Working on a RCU. example you working on a football game but half the stadium is bright, and the other half is covered in shade.

[@BroadcastBuddyTV]

Thank you! I currently do not, but could in the future!

[@danielsamdevanesan]

Thank you

[@Kevaleen]

Do you have experience/video on registering a lense to a camera? White shading, flares, v mod saw?

[@briangodfrey2015]

Like you accent wall, what is it? Like the video too.

Hello gud day i have an issue in our ccu have an beep alarm ,, and may other video in multiviewer have no video output but other camera have,, studio production set up

[@BroadcastBuddyTV]

Hi! There are many reasons a CCU could have an alarm. Definitely consult the manual to see if it will give you a description on the error :)

Which community college or which university is best for learning technical course in broadcas???

[@worldwariihistoryroundtabl8183]

Nice summary! Please take down the level on your background music a touch. This isn't broadcast sports, it's distracting.
