Master the control room. Command the broadcast.
showtrailvo trains vision mixers, technical directors and production managers in multi-camera switching, live broadcasting technique and real-time video operation, taught on real gallery equipment by working industry professionals.
What you will master
Every module is built around the equipment and pressure of a genuine control room, not a classroom simulation.

From the classroom to the gallery
“Six weeks after finishing the Professional course I was on the gallery floor of a regional news studio, cutting live bulletins. The training matched the job exactly.”
Aisha Bello

“I came from a filming background with no control room experience. showtrailvo's instructors broke everything down calmly, even under time pressure exercises.”
