System Design
The first phase of every project is System Design, which begins with a needs analysis. The needs analysis is produced through a series of meetings with our team of engineers and architects and your team to clearly understand and define your exact expectations, functional requirements, and a realistic budget.
Once we have articulated your needs, we begin drafting workflow and signal flow diagrams. The purpose of these diagrams is to visually illustrate how your solution will work and how it needs to be engineered. With the workflow diagrams, we reconcile your team’s personal preferences with our team’s recommendations to determine the best technical product and configuration of every key piece of equipment. This includes items such as cameras, switchers, routers, monitors, editing systems, storage, video servers, 2D and 3D effects systems, and more.
With the workflow and budget confirmed, our team then develops floor plan layouts, estimated power consumption, and HVAC requirements. If we are working with a new building, these are critical inputs for the building architect and building contractor.
Once we’ve completed workflow diagrams, our HR Team prepares staffing requirements for the solution. This will allow your team to have a head start on hiring and budgeting for staff. In addition to Phase 1, our HR Team can help you assemble job descriptions (responsibilities and requirements and if need be we can place temporary staff while permanent staff is being sourced.
After design is completed, engineering can begin.
