Services

ENG-01 // SCOPE

Design

Facility & Studio architecture

Signal flow, room layouts, rack elevations, and migration plans for SDI, hybrid, and ST-2110 studios. Built so operators can run the system, not just survive it.

IP Video

ST 2110 & networked media

PTP, multicast, NMOS, essence planning, and leaf-spine topologies. Practical IP video that survives launch windows and live news, not just a lab demo.

Live

Production & webcast systems

Control rooms, routers, switchers, replay, intercom, and contribution paths. Engineer-in-charge mindset for launches, events, and daily on-air.

Voice

Intercomms

AES67/Dante,wireless and operational voice for studios, pads, and field teams. Designed around how people actually talk during a show.

Delivery

Commissioning & cutover

Acceptance tests, documentation, inventory, and overnight change windows. Systems handed off with drawings, labels, and a path back if something fails.

Advisory

Vendor-neutral reviews

Bid review, RFP language, skill-gap assessment, and second opinions before capital is spent. Protects the facilities from overbuy and under-spec.

On the bench

ENG-02 // TOOLING

HD Engineering is a broadcast media consulting practice for organizations that treat video and voice as operational infrastructure — television stations, launch and event webcasts, houses of worship, and production companies moving off copper.

The work is hands-on: drawings, packet flows, rack elevations, and the last 10% that decides whether a cutover holds.

How an engagement runs

ENG-03 // METHOD

01

Survey

Walk the facilities, read the drawings, communicate to operators. Capture what is actually on air versus what the last integrator left behind.

02

Specify

Signal flow, BOM options, and a cutover plan with rollback. Written so purchasing, facilities, and engineering can all use the same document.

03

Prove

Commission, document, and stay through first live use. The job is finished when the crew can run it without a consultant in the room.
