digital media
The set of medias that are transmitted through electronic devices.
digital
Media Integration operators control the overall image, media content and/or the synchronisation and distribution of communication signals between the execution of different disciplines of a performance based on the artistic or creative concept, in interaction with the performers. Their work is influenced by and influences the results of other operators. Therefore, the operators work closely together with the designers, operators and performers. Media Integration operators prepare the connections between the different operation boards, supervise the setup, steer the technical crew, configure the equipment and operate the media integration system. Their work is based on plans, instructions and other documentation.
