Multi-Cam Production Terms

The two most used calls in a live tv show are:

"Cut"- Which is used by the director to tell the vision mixer that he wants to move cameras and to go onto the next shot.

"Dvd Ready" or " Dv Ready"- Is another that is used a lot, this is used by the dvd operator to signify that the Vt insert is ready for whenever the director wants to cut to it. Just before he/she does cut to it they will say "Role Vt" or "Role Dvd".

The other calls that are used during a live tv show are:

"Floor Ready"- This is used by the floor manager to tell the director that the floor is ready whenever he/she wants to start recording.

"Sound Ready"- This is used by the Sound Operators to tell the director that all Mic checks have been done and they are ready to record whenever he/she is.
