The Tech’s Changing—Here’s How to Stay Ahead

The demands on video techs have evolved dramatically. What was niche knowledge five years ago is now table stakes. From hybrid events to real-time content delivery, today’s crews are expected to adapt fast and execute flawlessly. Here’s what every video tech should be sharpening in 2025:

1. IP Video Workflow Fundamentals As AV over IP becomes the standard, understanding NDI, Dante AV, and SMPTE 2110 is non-negotiable. We don’t just teach protocols—we help you understand how to implement them practically in your environments.
2. Camera Matching and Look Consistency With audiences expecting high-quality visuals from every angle, mastering multi-cam color balancing and shading across different models is vital. We train you to identify discrepancies and solve them in the moment.
3. Encoding and Streaming Under Pressure Live streaming isn’t just for virtual events anymore—it’s often a redundancy requirement. We give you hands-on experience with encoders, bitrates, and how to triage stream issues in real time.
4. Signal Flow Like a Boss Knowing how to move signal across SDI, HDMI, fiber, and CAT6 quickly is an undervalued superpower. We dig into signal management, adapters, and diagnostics, so you’re never stuck rerouting under pressure.
5. Client Communication and Show Flow Awareness Techs who understand cue structure, client priorities, and production pacing are the ones who get callbacks. We train you to listen better, anticipate needs, and communicate clearly across departments.

With the right knowledge, you’re not just a tech—you’re an asset. And we’re here to help you become indispensable.
