The TD position will understand the blending of multiple video sources. We use three cameras -person controlled, multiple stationary cameras, & an image/graphics computer which is a lot of video sources. Communicating is key with cameras, graphics, lights, and audio team members. The TD will need to have an understanding of directing for I-MAG (Image magnification) for our worshipers distant from the stage, within the worship center. Our online viewers who are not available to attend, or watching from another place. And the replay viewer (those who will view the service at a later date.) The TD will be previewing cameras & graphics to add live into service program. Understanding the switcher console, dissolves (changing from one source to another), rates (how long the change takes), overlays (combining two video sources at the same time), and use with graphics (adding titles over video live). The TD will plan camera locations for the best views, watch the pre-service rehearsals to take notes, and what views from the different cameras will blend well.

To become familiar with the equipment and process, you’ll train alongside a TD to understand the switcher console. Learn communication (giving proper camera movement) with the camera operators & graphic. As training continues from week to week, you will be building comfort to step into the role of TD.
