CTV offers fully equipped TV studios with ample space for interview formats, multiple cameras, professional lighting, audio mixing and a teleprompter. Each studio is also equipped with a camera switcher that allows producers to create network style virtual sets, balanced audio, and integrated character graphics. One studio is even equipped to allow callers to participate during live programs.

For remote shoots, CTV provides the use of digital video cameras, microphones and portable lighting kits. Using CTV’s digital editing software, video can be transferred from almost any format for editing. It can then be edited into clips; clips can be joined using transitions; and background effects can be added.

Producers may reserve equipment by phone or in person. All equipment is reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Producers who repeatedly sign up for facility or equipment use and do not fulfill their commitment may face the loss of access privileges. Please let staff know as soon as possible if you are not going to make your scheduled session.

Each producer is responsible to see that the facilities they use are left in good order and that they report any equipment malfunctions to CTV staff. Any producer checking out equipment must sign an agreement accepting financial responsibility for any equipment, which is lost, stolen, or damaged while in his/her possession.

Persons under the age of 18 must be under adult supervision at all times while in the CTV facilities or using CTV portable equipment. CTV reserves the right to adjust equipment use policies based on user demand and the general technical health of our production equipment.
