A team that takes the load off newsrooms
We know the reality of breaking news, tight time windows and clear technical requirements. Our teams work calmly, proactively and discreetly, even under time pressure. For recurring assignments, framework agreements create clear processes and make short-notice scheduling with two to three hours' lead time possible.
Discuss your production needsBroadcast expertise, at exactly the depth you need.
Individual trades, well-rehearsed crews or full production: you decide, we take responsibility.
ENG & camera crews
Experienced camera operators for interviews, statements, reports, magazine features and breaking news situations, including professional sound and lighting.
Live & multi-camera
Live inserts, programmes and events with cameras, vision mixing, direction, sound, lighting and redundant signal routing.
Editorial & research
Research, topic preparation, interviewing and editorial support by editors who work for the report, not to appear on screen.
Presenting & voice-over
Suitable presenters for on-camera content as well as professional voice artists for the finished narration.
Editing & ready-to-air version
Raw material, rough cut or finished report with graphics, packaging, subtitles and voice-over, matched to your transmission schedule.
Transmission & platform
Live signals via SRT, RTMP or bonded cellular, on request via our embeddable platform or an agreed handover route.

Frequently asked questions from broadcasters, newsrooms and production companies.
How quickly can an ENG team be on location?
For an initial enquiry we usually plan a few days' lead time. With a framework agreement, assignments are possible with as little as two to three hours' notice, subject to availability.
Do you deliver raw material or a fully edited report?
Both. We deliver structured raw material, a rough cut or the complete ready-to-air version including editorial, editing, graphics, subtitles and voice-over.
Do you also work as a subcontractor for other production companies?
Yes, regularly. We supply camera, sound and live services on behalf of – or for the end clients of – other production companies and adapt to their workflows, formats and handover points.
Which live transmission routes do you offer?
We transmit via SRT, RTMP and bonded cellular, among others. An embeddable platform for websites is also available; further handover routes can be agreed with your engineering team.
In which formats and codecs do you deliver the material?
We deliver in the formats commonly used by your transmission system or newsroom (e.g. ProRes, XDCAM, H.264/H.265) and agree resolution, frame rate and container with your engineering team in advance.
Can you also take on editorial work and presenting?
Yes. Our team handles research, editorial preparation and interviewing. If needed, we also provide presenters and voice artists.
How do you ensure confidentiality for sensitive or exclusive topics?
We work discreetly and sign NDAs on request. Material is handed over exclusively via agreed, secure channels to the commissioning newsroom or production company.
Do your teams speak English for international assignments?
Yes, our teams communicate confidently in English and are used to international production standards and working with foreign-language newsrooms.
What does a typical ENG assignment cost?
That depends on the scope (camera, sound, editorial, editing), duration and location. Tell us the topic, deadline and desired scope and we will calculate a suitable quote.
Do you also produce internationally?
Yes. Our teams start out from Vienna and work in Austria, neighbouring countries and worldwide. For each assignment we plan crew, equipment, logistics and local requirements on a project basis.
