SCENE 01 / MONITOR VIDEO VILLAGE SETUPS

Monitor & Video Village

Professional on-set monitoring and video village solutions for film and TV production in Ireland.

Scroll

Video village setups create a centralized viewing station where directors, clients, and department heads can watch live camera feeds during production. These configurations typically include large monitors, signal routing, wireless receivers, and comfortable viewing environments for real-time review and decision-making.

We design and deliver video village configurations tailored to your production's viewing requirements and set layout. Our team coordinates monitor calibration, signal distribution, and furniture setup so your video village is operational and comfortable from the first day of principal photography.

Teradek Bolt 4K wireless, Flanders Scientific and SmallHD reference monitors, and full weatherproof tent setups prepped through TVM Ireland, Pyramid Camera, and Camera Hire Belfast

Here is how this works in practice. Video village in Ireland routes through TVM Ireland Dublin (the deepest Teradek Bolt 4K LT and 4K MAX inventory plus Flanders Scientific DM170 and DM240 reference monitor stock that shipped on Banshees of Inisherin. Vikings Ashford, and Foundation Apple TV+). Pyramid Camera Dublin (Normal People HBO multi-camera client village builds). Camera Hire Belfast (Game of Thrones eight-season director and producer village inventory through Titanic Studios), and Filmgear Ireland Dublin (multi-monitor wall configurations for commercial and prestige series). We supply complete director and client viewing stations with Flanders Scientific 24-inch and 32-inch HDR reference monitors.

Here is the short of it. SmallHD 1703 and 2403 producer monitors. Teradek Bolt 4K transmitters and receivers paired by camera, and full COR-Tent or Genie Outdoor weather tent staging with climate control. Generator tie-in, and comfortable seating for extended client review days at Ardmore, Ashford, Troy, and Titanic Studios stages.

Here is the breakdown. Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing dictates IP-rated tent staging, sun-readable HDR-bright monitors for the Wild Atlantic Way exterior shoots, and sealed cable runs for the wet Atlantic frontal weather October through March across Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, and Donegal Slieve League. ComReg range coordination governs the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands used by Teradek Bolt. RT Motion, and Preston FIZ. We run frequency surveys with the focus puller and DIT before principal photography to lock channels and prevent crowding.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. When extra Bolt 4K MAX or specialty multi-camera receivers aren't held in Dublin or Belfast stock we cross-border to ARRI Rental London or Panavision London under the Common Travel Area frictionless border with the United Kingdom (no carnet for UK-start gear). Revenue Commissioners ATA carnet routes Schengen and non-UK gear through DUB Dublin Airport, ORK Cork, SNN Shannon, or BFS Belfast Global with records handled by the same coordinator running the booking.
