A great broadcast is only as good as its studio.
charmixa is the professional resource for studio production in motion. Learn to set up equipment, operate cameras with confidence, shape light and sound, and build smooth workflows for television news and live shows. Courses start from £480.
Build your studio and go live without problems
- 1
Plan the studio
We map your floor space, power, cabling and audience so every piece of kit has a reason to be there.
- 2
Rig cameras, light and sound
Position pedestals, balance the lighting grid and set microphone coverage for clean, repeatable shots.
- 3
Go live with your crew
Rehearse cues, talkback and fallback plans until your news or live show runs smoothly under pressure.
Who are the courses and consultancy for?
Studio managers, camera operators, lighting and sound crew, producers and broadcasters across the United Kingdom who want a calmer, faster studio.
Do I need my own equipment to start?
No. We teach the principles on any kit, from compact news studios to full multi-camera floors, and we advise on what to buy when you are ready.
Can you train my crew at our own studio?
Yes. On-site sessions are the most popular option, because your team learns on the exact equipment and layout they use every day.
Do you cover both television news and live shows?
Both. News needs speed and consistency, live shows need flexibility and fallback plans, and our workflows address each of them.
