Equipment List

Here is the equipment that will be needed during our production. I have described what each piece of equipment in the way it will help us or what it is used for.



Tricaster Pro – The Vision Mixer we will be using to broadcast our footage on the live acts. The tricaster pro comes with five internal monitors to link to the cameras and 
allows talkback communication.

Portable Monitor – Connect to the vision mixer so that the live broadcast can be viewed at the same time.

Sony V1 Camera (3 Cameras)

Panasonic P2 Camera

6 Sony V1 Batteries (3 for spare incase any are drained)

2 Panasonic P2 Batteries (1 for spare incase the other has drained)

4 Tripods - To make all available camera’s stationary

4 Composite Cables – Used to connect the camera to the vision mixer.

3 Dollies – Attachment to the tripod to make the camera moveable but at the same time steady.

5 Talkback Units – The crew will need 5 talkback units for the director, three camera operators and the floor manager.

5 Microphone Headsets – Connect to the talkback to communicate

5 five-pin XLR Cables – Used to connect the talkback to the Vision Mixer so that all Units are linked up to each other for everybody to communicate.

4 BNC Cables – Used to show the input from the cameras to the monitors of the vision mixer. It is connected from the output of the composites into the monitors.

Sound Mixer – Connected to the boom microphones using three-pin XLR cables, then the level of sound can be adjusted so it isn’t too loud or too quiet.

2 Boom Microphones - Boom microphones will be on a stand, one on the left and one on the right to capture sound on both sides, these will be plugged into the sound mixer.

2 Boom Poles – Attachment for the boom microphones to stand.

4 three-pin XLR Cables – To connect the boom microphones to the Sound Mixer.

Cable Mats – The cable mats will be used tidy loose cables on the ground near a popular walkway so that no risks can occur such as tripping or damaging equipment.
