The Australia-based Technical Direction Company (TDC) is gaining worldwide
recognition, being one of the first to supply innovative video technologies to high
profile live events, light festivals, TV productions and live performance.
The exclusive TDC Open House, held at TDC’s Alexandria Headquarters in August
enabled production professionals to access a number of ground-breaking technologies
offered by the company, and talk to expert TDC teams about how these new tools can
be used in future projects.

“We have always been known for using the latest video technologies in innovative
ways to realise our clients’ projects. Now we are getting ahead of the game by
developing and deploying technology such as automation, motion tracking and real
time content generation that will be the future of live entertainment,’ said Michael
Hassett, managing director at TDC.

“Throughout the Open House event, our clients re-booked for double appointments
and brought their important clients with them. The audience included many of
Australia’s leading production people from TV, corporate, theatre, artistic groups,
graphics houses along with eager students from NIDA and the Australian Film and
Television Institute.’

The guests had the opportunity to see some of the world’s latest and best video
technologies. TDC has expanded their capabilities to include show pre-visualisation,
motion tracking, and automation with technology demoed by TDC experts using d3,
Notch, Blacktrax, the latest UDX projectors from Barco, along with TDC’s broadcast
OB capability, and high-resolution creative LED offerings.
