Experienced technical directors for video switching, show calling, and cross-department production management.
The technical director is the nerve center of any multi-department live production — calling camera cuts, managing video switching, coordinating graphics, and ensuring every technical element fires on cue. Show Ready AVS provides experienced technical directors who command switcher desks and production control rooms with confidence and precision. Whether you're producing a corporate keynote with IMAG and presentation content, a multi-camera concert broadcast, or an award show with live graphics and VT rolls, our TDs bring the leadership, timing, and technical expertise that complex productions demand. We staff technical directors across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and Palm Springs.
A technical director (TD) manages the real-time switching and coordination of all video sources during a live event. They call camera cuts, trigger graphics and video rolls, manage screen layouts, and coordinate with the stage manager, camera operators, and graphics operators to deliver a seamless visual production. At corporate events, the TD switches between presenters, slides, and video content. At concerts, they cut cameras for IMAG and broadcast. The TD's timing, judgment, and communication skills directly impact the audience experience.
Multi-camera live events move fast — a missed cut, a late graphic, or a wrong source on screen is immediately visible to every audience member. Show Ready AVS supplies TDs who have directed live switching for Fortune 500 keynotes, nationally televised productions, concert tours, and multi-day conventions. We vet for switcher proficiency (Ross, Blackmagic ATEM, Grass Valley, Analog Way), composure under pressure, and the leadership skills to coordinate multiple operators simultaneously.
Whether you need a TD for a single-camera corporate panel or a twelve-camera arena concert, Show Ready AVS provides technical directors with the experience and platform knowledge to run your show. We staff TDs for corporate events, concerts, trade shows, award ceremonies, broadcast productions, and hybrid events across Southern California. Tell us about your production and switcher platform — we'll match you with a TD who can own the control room.
