Broadcast and studio guidance

Plain, accurate advice for studios and live productions

We explain broadcast technology and help studios plan dependable workflows. Based in Taunton since 2014, we work with studio managers, engineers and small broadcasters across the UK.

About us

Engineering experience, written down clearly

mediqly began in 2014 when Rebecca Hartley, after years in studio engineering, set out to write the guidance she wished her own crews had been given. The aim was simple: explain how things work and why they fail.

Today a small team covers cameras, signal routing, stage lighting, audio synchronisation and control room layout. We advise studios planning a build, an upgrade or a repair of a workflow that has become hard to trust.

We write in plain language and put recommendations on paper, so a studio manager can read them, question them and act on them without needing us in the room.

How we work

From first enquiry to a written plan you can use

Every project starts with understanding what your studio actually does day to day. We look at the equipment you have, how signals move through it and where the crew loses time. Recommendations follow in writing, in an order you can work through.

Services

What we can help your studio with

Our services cover the technical areas that most often decide whether a production runs smoothly. Each can be taken alone or combined, depending on what your studio needs.

  1. Studio Workflow Review

    We follow your signal path from camera to output and watch how the crew works with it. The result is a written report setting out what to improve and in what order. It suits studios whose workflow has grown piece by piece.

  2. Camera System Planning

    We advise on camera configurations, lenses, mounts and cabling for studio and live work. The guidance is matched to the shows you produce and the space you have. It helps when buying, replacing or rearranging cameras.

  3. Stage Lighting Design Advice

    We prepare practical lighting plans for sets and stages, covering rigging positions, colour temperature and power requirements. Plans are written so your own crew can install them. They suit new sets and tired rigs alike.

  4. Audio Synchronisation Support

    We help trace lip-sync, timecode and delay problems across microphones, mixers and playout systems. Each fault is followed to its source rather than patched over. You receive a plain explanation of what was found and why.

  5. Control Room Setup Guidance

    We advise on layout and equipment for vision mixing, monitoring and intercom in compact control rooms. The focus is on sightlines, reach and clear communication. It suits rooms being built, moved or reorganised.

  6. Technical Training Workshops

    We run half-day and full-day sessions for production crews on broadcast systems and good operating practice. Content is adjusted to the equipment your crew uses. Amelia Fox leads the sessions.

Our approach

What you can expect from us

Our habits are simple and consistent. They are the reason studios return to us when the next question comes up.

  • Accurate findings

    We measure and observe before we advise. Recommendations rest on what we found in your studio, not on assumptions about how studios usually behave.

  • Experienced engineers

    Our team has worked in studio engineering, lighting and audio. Advice comes from people who have faced the same faults on live productions.

  • Practical advice

    Each recommendation is something your crew can carry out with the equipment and time available. Where an upgrade is needed, we say so and explain why.

  • Written reports

    Findings arrive in writing, ordered by importance. You can share them with colleagues, return to them later and use them when planning budgets.

  • Clear scoping

    Thomas Willoughby agrees the scope with you before work starts. You know what is covered, what is not and what the quotation includes.

  • Reliable workflows

    Our aim is a studio that runs the same way on a busy day as on a quiet one, with fewer surprises for the crew.
