As demand for game shows and reality content increases, TDC (Technical Direction Company) is driving a wave of television productions across Australia. TDC is offering services from technical planning through to live broadcast, pilot builds, automated studio control with TDC LiveVIEW custom game engine design and development along with LED screen integration.
TDC has carved out a reputation for making complex technology accessible. While others step back from high-risk technical challenges, TDC leans in to deliver robust solutions while informing and supporting clients throughout every stage of production.
That mindset proved essential on The Hundred with Andy Lee, one of the most technically ambitious shows on Australian television. The format required managing 100 simultaneous Zoom feeds integrated live into a broadcast studio.
Drew Ferors, head of innovation and training at TDC, said: “A dynamic, data-driven studio interface was crucial to making the show feel natural and fluid on air. Our team designed and delivered the full technical hardware and gaming system, covering everything from LED screen control to video processing and content playback. We built the game engine from the ground up, collaborating closely with the producers and Andy Lee to create a reliable solution. By automating the lighting, audio, and video cues, we gave producers seamless control. With The Hundred, we didn’t just take on a challenge—we set out to prove it could be done, and done exceptionally well.”
