// the room
A popup studio, not a sound stage.
This is the studio for the shoot that needs to happen this week: a green screen standup, a live shot into a network, an interview feed, a product video, a sports segment. The cyc comes pre-lit and a set of talent lights is included. If your look needs more, bring your own instruments or rent additional lights from us.
// green cyc 16' w x 11' h · pre-lit
// power and phone included
// behind the glass
Most studios rent a room. This one comes with a broadcast company attached.
Behind the studio wall is a working control room: a TriCaster switcher, a Blackmagic Design Ultimatte for high-end chroma keying, replay, a prompter, and a monitor wall, wired to the floor through a 40×40 SDI router. The entire Varto rental fleet is one hallway away: TriCaster and 3Play systems, PTZ camera kits, LiveU units, networking and recording gear. Certified operators are bookable for the day. If your production needs more than the room was born with, the integration team is in the building.
// the package, not a bare room
One booking covers the whole chain.
A facility day books the room and the control room together. You bring the talent and the story; the room handles the rest.

// on air from here
Feed a network without driving into the city.
Breaking news, sports reaction, an expert interview: this room works as an insert studio. Get your talent on air from a pre-lit floor with a return feed and a prompter, without a Manhattan load-in. Transmission runs over bonded cellular or the building’s wired internet. Rent the LiveU unit through Varto, a LiveU Authorized Partner, and it arrives provisioned to your account, ready for pickup here, in the same building as the studio. Tell us the hit window when you book and the room is ready before your talent arrives.

Questions we hear every week.
Do I need insurance to book?
We accept a certificate of insurance, and depending on the booking we may require one; we will confirm with your quote. Coverage for your production is the renter's responsibility, and Varto does not offer insurance.
Is the lighting really included?
Yes. The cyc is pre-lit and a set of talent lights is included. Bring more if your look needs it, or rent additional lights from us.
Can we bring our own crew and gear?
Yes. Book the room only, or add a Varto operator and anything from the rental fleet.
Can we feed a live show from here?
Yes. Bonded cellular through LiveU units rented through Varto, or the building's wired internet. Tell us the hit window when you book.
Can we record a podcast here?
Yes. Book the studio, or ask about the conference room for a seated conversation setup.
