What We Do

Our digital transformations improve and future-enable your operations, user experience, and service delivery.

Broadcast Solutions

Video conferencing is a vital – and familiar – tool for keeping your distributed workers connected. Today’s video-centric world, though, presents emerging opportunities for video beyond the conference room. Used as a recruiting tool, as a training tool, or as a marketing tool, video can help you reach new customers, tell your story, and strengthen your company brand.

Broadcast Engineering

TWD broadcast engineering covers a range of specific infrastructure and room design services that support the operations of internal broadcast facilities, conference rooms, and command and control centers.

From broadcast production including digital workflows to video, voice, data, and streaming technologies, TWD designs, installs, and integrates infrastructures and solutions that enable you to create and broadcast through any media – telephone, radio, online, and mobile.

These services are performed by our certified Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) and AV-certified professionals who employ the System Engineering Life Cycle (SELC) model as the basis to develop new and major upgrade solutions. Engineering Design Packages (EDP) present detailed price proposals; system configuration drawings that show audio/video/control flow, equipment rack elevations, and critical signal path/measurements; and Bills of Materials (BOM).

Our projects include Broadcast over IP (BoIP) solutions that allow our customers to deploy worldwide in austere environments using multiple transmission mediums. Using our BoIP solutions, our customers successfully have streamed hundreds of live events worldwide.

During 28 years of audio-video engineering experience, TWD has implemented solutions successfully for customers including the US Department of Defense, civilian agencies, and commercial clients. TWD engineers are available to represent you as resident Subject Matter Experts and technical consultants on project review panels, as members of internal working groups, and in the requirement development process.

Live Event Production Services

TWD live event production services include the setup and operation of camera systems, teleprompting, lighting, sound reinforcement, audio and video acquisition, live broadcast, and coordination with live captioning services.

Our staff supports projects that require multiple camera feeds, live switching, and recording and includes cinematic-style production using a steady cam, jib, or track system as required.

In order to capture the highest-quality audio and video possible our experienced staff perform lighting and sound checks and address the dynamics related to audio and visual capture that are unique to each location. We make necessary adjustments to optimize audio quality by compensating for ambient noise, microphone characteristics, audio system noise floors and dynamic ranges, environmental conditions to include the materials and shapes of objects at the event location; all of which have an effect on the presence, timbre and intelligibility of audio. Room lighting and natural light are unique to every situation and must be addressed for proper video capture.
