My role

I led the PCR2 rebuild as Director of Engineering, bringing capital-project leadership and broadcast engineering experience to the room and its production systems.

Project scope

  • Operator positions and monitor wall
  • Sony production switcher controls
  • Wheatstone audio and communications

The finished room brings the operator positions, monitor wall, Sony switcher controls, and Wheatstone audio console together. This gallery documents PCR2; PCR1 is a separate room with a different hardware approach.
