Screen systems, playback and media server workflows for broadcast, television and live event production.

pixel.formation brings together the broadcast and live production experience of FORMATION, Twisted Pixel and Brad Salt across television, awards shows, public events, corporate shows, brand moments and large-format live productions.

From The Voice, Australian Idol, WorldPride, Logies, Carols by Candlelight and Australian of the Year through to corporate launches, civic events and broadcast specials, our work sits in the space where content, timing, cameras and live production all meet.

Broadcast & Live Events

Talk to us about live events

Built for rooms where everything needs to happen on cue.

Broadcast and live event screen systems are not just playback machines.

They need to respond to producers, presenters, cameras, lighting, audio, running order changes, late content, rehearsals and the pressure of a live room.

We build and operate screen systems for shows where timing matters, content changes fast and the operator needs to understand more than just the server.

Our background spans screens direction, media server programming, motion graphics delivery, cue-based playback, live inputs, show control and onsite operation.

Why It Matters

Live shows change. The workflow needs to survive that.

A clean screen system is not just about powerful gear.

It is about knowing how the show is going to be rehearsed, who needs control, how content will arrive, how cues will be called, what happens when the running order changes and how to keep the system readable under pressure.

We build workflows that make sense to operators, producers, content teams and technical directors.

That means faster rehearsals, fewer surprises and a screen system that can move with the show.
