Monitor & Video Village

Here is how the work lines up. Video village builds in New York anchor on Stray Angel NY, Boland Communications, ScreenWorks, NTP Technology, AbelCine LIC, and Sim Group NY, with Adorama Rental Co at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and TCS Cine Services in Greenpoint covering exact package overflow. Our rental team designs the village around the production's seating chart — director's monitoring station on SmallHD 1303 HDR or Cine 13, agency and client view on 24-inch and 32-inch TVLogic LUM-242G and Sony BVM-X310 reference panels, focus-check OLED on SmallHD Cine 7, and DIT cart on Boland MON-24 with Pomfort Live Grade running through a Fix Mini Panel.

Wireless arrives on Teradek Bolt 4K LT, Bolt 6 XT, and Bolt 1500 with 6-receiver fan-out, frequency-lined up through our office given NYC's dense-built RF settings and the FCC paperwork the post-700 MHz auction spectrum still demands. Stage builds at Silvercup Long Island City, Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Kaufman Astoria, and York Studios get hardline SDI delivery via AJA Kumo and Decimator routers, while Manhattan brownstone, Brooklyn rooftop, and Hudson Valley exterior days move to weather-protected EZ-Up and Quick Shade canopies with climate-controlled tents for client-went to commercial days.

Each village is staged the day before camera with the DIT and 2nd AC — show LUT loaded on every reference monitor via Pomfort Live Grade or a baked-in LUT box, Klein K10-A and Konica Minolta CA-310 calibration sweep against Rec. 709, P3-D65, or Rec. 2020 PQ targets depending on the deliverable. A signed calibration report attached for the production accountant's NYS Film Tax Credit submission through ESD.

IATSE Local 600 DITs and Local 52 video engineers manage the on-set integration with the Preston FI+Z, cmotion cPRO, or ARRI Hi-5 focus systems, the Cooke /i and Zeiss eXtended Data feed for lens metadata recording, and the QTAKE or Evertz Mediator-X playback chain when episodic series and feature work demand instant replay. Comtek and Sennheiser IFB channels, Riedel Bolero wireless intercom, and Eartec full-duplex headsets thread through the same RF coordination map.

The MOME Made in NY permit, FDNY fire-watch for tent and generator placement, and NYC DOT parking suspensions clear ahead of the call sheet. A 24-hour swap cycle out of Long Island City and the Navy Yard keeps spare panels, wireless receivers, and antenna repositioning kits on the truck through wrap.
