H2R Gear

Collaborative planning for live video teams

Share gear plans with your entire crew, hand off between team members, and keep everyone aligned on the technical setup — no matter how many people are involved.

Live video production for a crowd

Teams plan differently than solo operators

When multiple people are involved in a production, communication becomes the bottleneck.

Knowledge in people's heads

The lead tech knows how it all connects, but when they're off sick or unavailable, the rest of the team is guessing. A shared diagram captures institutional knowledge.

Handoff friction

Passing a job between team members usually means a long phone call or a messy email chain. With shared plans, the next person opens the diagram and picks up immediately.

Inconsistent documentation

Everyone has their own way of noting down a setup — if they document it at all. A team-wide planning tool creates a consistent format that everyone can read.

Shared plans your whole team can access

Team plans let crew members view, edit and hand off setups without friction.

With H2R Gear's team feature, any team member can share their personal plans with the team. The team admin manages membership while everyone gets access to the plans that matter to them.

When a new job comes in, one person starts the plan and the rest of the team can jump in. No emailing files around, no version confusion — everyone is always looking at the same, up-to-date diagram.

Team members can pick up where a colleague left off. If the technical director starts the diagram and the audio engineer needs to add their section, they just open the plan and get to work.

Video production team collaborating

Diagram complex setups together

Large productions need input from multiple specialists — your planning tool should support that.

Use zones to divide a plan by department or area. The video team diagrams the camera and switcher setup, the audio team maps the console and mic positions, and the comms team adds their talkback and IFB chain.

With 18+ cable types, every department's connections are accurately represented. HDMI, SDI, XLR, Dante, NDI, fibre, intercom, power — each with its own colour coding and cable key.

Text labels let each team annotate their area with notes, IP addresses, channel assignments or any other reference information the crew will need on site.

Share plans beyond your team

Read-only sharing lets you distribute plans to anyone who needs to see them.

Share a direct link to your plan with venue managers, clients, freelancers or sub-contractors. They get a full interactive view of your diagram — they can zoom, pan and explore, but can't change anything.

This is ideal for pre-production meetings and tech recces. Walk a client through the plan in a browser instead of trying to describe it verbally or sending a static PDF.

Export diagrams as PNG, JPG or PDF when you need to include them in proposals, production packs or site documentation.

Sharing production plans

Teams of every size

From small production crews to large broadcast operations.

Production companies

Standardise how your team documents setups across every job. New crew members can review past plans to understand your typical rig and workflows.

In-house AV teams

Document your venue's permanent installs and create templates for common event configurations. Onboard new team members faster with visual references.

Broadcast crews

Coordinate between vision, audio, comms, and engineering. Each department contributes to the same plan, building a complete picture of the production.

Education & training

Share example setups with students and trainees. They can explore real production diagrams to learn how professional rigs are wired together.
