ABSTRACT

The practice of Media Operations stands apart within the video department as the Screens Producer will oversee communication between all the groups but not necessarily run the video department as a whole. Media Operations has as its primary goal the cueing and playback of video files as defined by the Media Operations team. There are enough common elements to any show with video screens that practices and procedures for communication of content production, content playback, and screens engineering can be standardized. Someone might really dive deep into engineering and control, learning all they can about signal distribution and display technology, but also have an interest in the media servers. Media server skills often overlap with an interest in content production. There are many community groups on Facebook for the discussion of different kinds of software and media servers.
