**Studio 1**

The three PTZ cameras in Studio 1 are operated via the computer located in the room. 

When the computer is switched on, the program for operating the cameras and starting recording opens automatically. You can adjust the angle of the cameras and thus the frame of the cameras by selecting the desired camera and moving the view with the joystick on the keyboard.

**Studio 2**

To turn on the camera, push the two red buttons when you enter the room – one on the bottom left when you enter the room, one on the left near the window. This will turn on all the lights and the camera.

Adjust the camera, framing and staging (more details in a follow-up question) and once the camera and the stage are ready to record, make sure to press the red ‘Record’ button on the camera.

Tip: Don’t confuse it with the regular photo button!

Tip: A red recording indication will show up on the screen if recording.

How to set up the camera?

To transfer the video files from the camera in Studio 2, remove the XQD memory card from the camera (right side) and insert the card into the card reader on the computer at the maindesk. Transfer from the File Explorer to the Google Drive (folder: Videohaus Tödi).

To transfer your audio files from the Lavalier microphones and “Zoom H6 Recorder”, remove the SD card from the “Zoom H6 Recorder” (left side), and insert the card into the card reader on the computer at the maindesk. Transfer from the File Explorer to the Google Drive (folder: Videohaus Tödi).

How to get your files?

If the teleprompter is not already attached to the camera, you can find it in the closet. For access, please scan the QR code.

The app that is used for the teleprompter is called BestView :

1. It’s better if the client uses his/her own phone, downloads the app, and then uploads the text directly to the app. However, there is a phone in the studio for teleprompter use. You’ll find it on the main desk.
2. Place the phone into the Teleprompter and make sure that the phone ‘off’ button isn’t being pushed by the teleprompter.
3. Use the remote control to start, stop, go faster, go slower, go backwards or forwards. You’ll find the remote control in the closet.

## Download BestView on your mobile:

## **[iOS](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/desview/id1488285226) or [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rm.teleprompter&hl=en_US&gl=US)**



To transfer the files from a client phone:

* Send the text to the computer by sending an email to the computer in the studio: [videohaus_todi@curated.ch](mailto:videohaus_todi@curated.ch)
* Copy/paste the text to the Teleprompter file. This file syncs with the teleprompter phone automatically.
* Now switch to the phone, open the Teleprompter file.
* Copy/paste to the BestView app on the phone.

How to get the teleprompter ready?

**Staging**: Stand in the **center** of all four of the lights. The lights near the windows will light up the face, and the lights near the background will light up the background. Make sure not to stand too far back. Usually, standing near the line of the carpet is a good position.

Next, adjust the camera, angle and zoom as needed.

The tripod can also be adjusted as needed by opening the latch features on **all 3** of the tripod legs. It’s important to hold the camera steady while adjusting the tripod to ensure the camera doesn’t fall. There is a small liquid balance indiciation to demonstrate if the tripod is positioned levely. 

**Framing**: The individual should be framed nicely in the frame of the background (specifically important when using the green screen) and not partially outside of the frame.

**Tip**: If recording on your own, test the location and the framing and then place a temporary mark where you will stand for the remaining recording.

**Tip**: When people are moving around a lot within the frame, this will not appear well on camera. To solve this, either use a bar stool or imagine planting your feet like a tree.

How to frame the cameras?

Both studios offer a green screen so the background color can be edited in post-production. Reach out to us to get a quote for editing your videos if you don’t want to do it by yourself.
