The CrewZBox Use Any Camera Radio Talkback audio monitoring

The complete flyaway gallery facility.

Our People

Crewzbox is a unique lightweight gallery designed and built by Mike Jackson and Graham Veevers. You can use it as just a gallery with operating staff or we can light and shoot, we are experienced lighting cameramen / lighting directors with extensive CV's.

Any Camera

Crewzbox takes any camera with HDSDI or SDI outputs so you're not stuck with one make or model. We have used most Sony cameras, Panasonic and Canon C300s. A feature we love is being able to record out into any format, if you need to record onto HDcam one week and SXS cards the next then its no problem.

All down one cable

Easy rig and de rig is facilitated by use of fibre optic cables which carry the video, audio, talkback, reverse vision and more. This thin but tough cable can work up to 1.5 kms. and easily rigs into arenas like the MEN in Manchester or the smallest venue.

Big monitoring

Monitoring is carried out on a clear 46 in. multiview screen displaying up to 8 cameras, programme and preview. We can send switchable pictures to a variety of monitors offering Sony Oleds and Samsung large floor displays. You can have any display you wish but offer 24in. Grade 1 Oleds for critical monitoring.

Whats in the box?

As much or as little as you want! A fully specified flyaway gallery with talkback, reverse vision, tallies, full distribution of programme sound, genlock and time code to cameras with mixer and integrated radio talkback. Or just a multicam viewing platform with the cameras locked and talkback.

Communication

Included in the package is all talkback to cameras via the fibre optic cable. Alongside this is a full duplex 8 channel integrated radio talkback system with a choice of lightweight or Peltor headsets for FM and general production use. It has a full back up system included in the unit.
This is an example of what we can provide, but we are modular in our approach to each project and can scale up or down if needed.

The Box

The CrewZBox Illistration

The brains of the CrewZBox system, this custom built box has 40 switchable HDSDI video inputs/outputs, with master control of timecode, talkback and Tri-level Black & Burst sync outputs and built in vision mixer. We think our 46" HD multiview is the best was to watch and cut your program/event together.

Communication

Communication Illistration

The studio comms box, is used to distribute video to floor monitors and also is home to the radio talkback units and base station. This is linked back to the brains via fibre cable, this saves having to rig miles of BNC cables just to run floor monitors.

CrewZBox on Set

"Working with Crewzbox was an absolute PM's dream, not only was the kit technically brilliant but the pre-production, rigging, cameras, lighting, audio and crew were all seamlessly managed by one expert contact. The CrewZBox was easy to use in a very tight space ensuring we got the most out of our budget, location and crew! Thanks so much for everything!"

Natalie Bolton | Production Manager

"You really have come up with something special that enables productions to be very productive, very cost effective, and achieve that without having to compromise on quality or creativity."
"My team and I were bowled over by of CrewZBox and their ability to tailor the equipment to our exact needs. I would (and do!) recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great value and efficient alternative to a fixed gallery for a multi camera setup."

Julie Bradshaw | Series Producer
