Studio & Control Room Bookings
Studios, control rooms, edit suites and booths are shared between shows, and each booking needs the room, the equipment in it and the people to run it. Beam books locations, equipment and people on one reservation, shows every booking on a timeline or calendar grouped by location, and catches conflicts before they reach the floor. Production, engineering and operations all plan from the same schedule.
Use case in practice
- Rooms on the Reservation: Book the studio or control room alongside its cameras, kit and crew.
- Timeline by Location: See every studio and room on a timeline or event calendar, grouped the way each team plans.
- Conflict Alerts: Double bookings of units are flagged while you plan, and availability is shown for people.
- Recurring Shows: Clone a reservation for the next episode or the next week.
- Saved Views per Team: Production sees its bookings, and engineering sees the rooms it supports.
Why it matters
- No Clashing Bookings: One schedule for rooms, kit and people instead of separate calendars.
- Rooms Ready on Time: Engineering knows which rooms and systems are needed, and when.
- Less Back and Forth: Producers see availability before they ask.
- Clear Ownership: Every booking shows who made it and who is on it.
- Better Use of Space: See which rooms are busy and which sit empty.
