The television control room: here sits the director, the technical director, the
producer, graphics, audio experts,
the engineers and others usually involved in the broadcast
of live events--e.g. news, sports, TV specials.
All of the video and audio
signals come here from the studio (or from each camera and microphone). The
director's
job is to decide which one(s) get "on the air" that you see at home.

What a Studio camera
Teleprompter looks like to the on-camera reader
(if you look close, you can see the studio camera's lens just beyond the words
on the screen;
the camera shoots through a two way mirror; the on camera reader can see the
script while
looking directly into the camera's lens)
Here is a shot inside one of the TV studios at DC's Newseum. In the center of
the photo is an unmanned studio camera with an
attached teleprompter. Just below the prompter is a monitor showing the
director's video output and a digital clock.
