Designed, purchased, and built a Remote Production Vehicle for the direct needs of productions recorded by CCMCommunications. This project is unique as it one of the only of its kind, of only a handful of remote vehicles in all of Catholic Broadcasting - it is also designed and built out of a trailer, as opposed to a truck. The CCMCommuncations Remote Television Operations Center imcorporates both digital and analog production technology, and designed to simplify the off-site production process while incorporating all of the cutting edge elements needed for successful event recording. Overseen every design element personally. |
|
|
|
Design Element: The RTOC has been specifically designed to use the same equipment as in the Television Operations Center, to ensure ease of compatibility and equipment redundancy |
|
|
|
Design Element: Audio system with a Mackie 12-02 VLZ mixer, with sources being mics, external lines and mixers, wireless microphones and receivers, playback decks, and CD players. |
|
|
|
Design Element: Playback and record system suse Mini-DV, which is compatible via an adaptor with the Television Operations Center's DVCPro25 system. |
|
|
|
Design Element: The RTOC includes an I/O Panel whereby 4 cameras, as well as a multitude of other video sources, can be connected and referenced as necessary depending on the needs of the production. |
|
|
|
Design Element: Director's Console incorporates LCD Camera, Remote, and Playback preview monitors, as well as a Porta Comm Intercom System, with multiple PL and IFB (with program) outputs. Switching via an Editol 4 bus live switcher, with internal fame syncs. |
|
|
|
Designed the RTOC on CAD computer program, cataloging all cables and connections, cross referencing them between schematics and cable listing index for ease of tracing cable |
|
|
|
Built RTOC - laid down and terminated cable, installed HVAC systems, did minor electrical work, installed carpeting, augmented trailer, installed cable runs and raceway. Continue upgrades and maintenance as well. |
|
|
|
Worked with Diocese of Paterson (funding entity) and vendors to purchase all necessary equipment |

Designed, purchased, and built a complete live-capable television production facility. Including a studio floor, control room, tape storage room, workshop, and equipment storage rooms, the CCMCommunications Television Operations Center was specifically designed to support the needs of the nationally syndicated talk show, "The Word: Alive and Well." The facility, integrating digital (SDI) and analog technology, is very modular and designed to be easily augmented to support a variety of productions. It also balances the needs of a facility that is simple to use, one that is easy to teach and instruct in, and a production studio that is complex enough to support live and live-to-tape programming. |
|
|
|
Design Element: The studio floor is the main part of the Jesus Christ Prince of Peace Chapel, so it needs to be augmented every week to change it over to a set. Lighting, cameras, monitor returns, the set, and all of the anciliary audio and video equipment needs to be set up. Because of this, the equipment and set need to be movable, and non-obtrusive. |
|
|
|
Design Element: The main format the CCMCommunications operates off of is DVCPro25, a digital format, but also records on DVD, VHS, SVHS, and 3/4" Umatic for the use of our affiliates |
|
|
|
Design Element: Built to be very modular, so through a series of I/O panels which are patchable, cameras can be plugged in and operated throughout the facility. Weather dependant, the studio can be moved from the inside studio to being shot in the outside gardens with minimal changes made to the facility setup. This is all accomplished through routing and patching. |
|
|
|
Design Element: Switcher (Sony DFS 7000) fed by Kranmer Routers and Patchbays. |
|
|
|
Design Element: Mackie 24-08, CD, Mini Disc |
|
|
|
Design Element: Editing Suite - Adobe Software Bundle (Premier Pro / Auditorn / encore / After Effects) |
|
|
|
Design Element: Graphics off of a Digital PC Codi (Chyron) |
|
|
|
Design Element: Phone Hybrid installed, for phoner guests. IFB system also includes a program-insert module, so host can conduct interviews with telephone guests. |
|
|
|
Design Element: Porta Com Intercom Ssytem - Program Insert Module, Director's Consolue, beltpacks and other user stations. |
|
|
|
Designed the TOC on CAD computer program, cataloging all cables and connections, cross referencing them between schematics and cable listing index for ease of tracing cable |
|
|
|
Built TOC - laid down and terminated cable, installed HVAC systems, did minor electrical work, installed carpeting, augmented trailer, installed cable runs and raceway. Continue upgrades and maintainance as well. |
|
|
|
Worked with Diocese of Paterson, benefactors, and the New Jersey Office of Faith Based Initiatives (funding entities) and vendors to purchase all necessary equipment |

BACKGROUND: In July of 2004, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson received its first new bishop (named by the Pope) in 26 years. This remarkable and historic event provided an excellent opportunity for CCMCommunications, although at that point the had no equipment needed for an off-site remote. With the new Bishop named in mid May, and with the installation mass scheduled for July 6th, CCMCommunications had only 3 weeks to come up with a solution to provide efficient and broadcast-quality coverage of the event. That solution was to build and design a temporary remote vehicle. |
|
|
|
Design Element: System build in a loaned van from Catholic Charities, in a Plymouth mini-van. Because of that, it was necessary to build the system so that it was removable and would not damage the van. |
|
|
|
Design Element: 5 cameras, each plugged directly into the switcher with video and reference runs. Communications system (porta-com) also run. |
|
|
|
Design Element: Audio systems run off of a Tascam board, with wired and wireless microphones, CD, and playback decks. |

BACKGROUND: The Jesus Christ Prince of Peace Chapel was built in 1998/99. AT that time, it was decided that we include a videotaping and duplication system to record events for use in the current productions. As the Chapel was being built, it was an idea time to do the install on this equipment. This system was the foundation for the Television Operations Center, and was removed and incorporated into that system when it was built 5 years later. |
|
|
|
Design Element: 2 Robotic Cameras, and associated equipment. 2 ParkerVision CameraMan were installed, with the ShotControl control system installed. This system, designed by ParkerVision for teleconferencing, incorporated the ability to do all on-line switching. |
|
|
|
Design Element: Designed so a third and fourth non-robotic camera could be plugged in, referenced, and used. |
|
|
|
Design Element: Record only on 3/4" Umatic Decks. |
