As we wrap up Q4, we want to take a moment to celebrate several work anniversaries across our team. Some of these names you’ve probably seen in emails or heard on the phone, but each one plays a crucial role in keeping our company moving forward. Take a moment to congratulate them below!

🎉 14 Years of Service
• Jason Kress - TakeOne President
• Mary Darr-Johnson - Accounting Manager

That level of dedication doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built on consistency, integrity, and the way you show up for people every single day. Jason and Mary don’t just do the work well they represent TakeOne through and through in how they serve our team, our clients, and one another. And if you’ve ever needed a reminder that people matter most, just find Mary at 10:00 AM… those hugs are as much a part of TakeOne as anything we build.

🎉 1-Year Anniversaries
• Ryan Wardlaw - Engineering Coordinator
• Jeff Culmer – Project Manager
• Valerie Bibee – Accounts and Payroll

In just one year, each of you has made a meaningful impact, and we’re grateful for what you bring to the team every day.

We also celebrated 1- and 2-year anniversaries with team members from our sister companies POLO and BOLD. Your partnership and shared commitment continue to strengthen everything we do.

We’re truly blessed-not only to work alongside such talented people, but to have them and their families as part of our extended family. Thank you for your dedication, your heart, and the role you play in making TakeOne what it is!

On this Tech New Roundup - Would you ever trust an iPhone in a real broadcast workflow?

Blackmagic just dropped updates that make that question a lot harder to laugh off. Yves and Patrick dig into the new ProRes RAW support, the surprisingly controversial Camera ProDock (where’s the SDI?!), and Panasonic’s push into studio/sports hybrids. We also get real about AI, SMPTE standards, and what all this means for the future of production.

And hey-when you hand the studio keys to two geeks who love to talk, this is what you get.

If you like this style and want more episodes, let us know in the comments!

Sony spent the day here at TakeOne dialing in the full cinema lineup for tomorrow’s showcase and the footage coming out of these cameras is gorgeous.

And yes… the test scene had to be Christmas. ’Tis the season, and honestly, what better way to show what your church stage could look like on a great cinema setup?

We can’t wait to welcome everyone who registered. It’s going to be an incredible day of hands-on demos, learning, and real community.

If you haven’t grabbed a spot yet and want to see these cameras in action, there’s still time to register.

This week, we had the honor of supporting and engineering the SALT Conference and stepping into this year’s theme: “Enter In.”

For us, “Enter In” isn’t just a phrase, it’s a reminder to enter into His presence, His peace, and His plans. As a company rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ, it’s a privilege to serve and support other church creatives who are using their gifts to point people toward Him.

From taking a plan and drawing it out, to pre-programming and on-site ex*****on, our team was grateful to play a small role in bringing such a powerful event to life. Although we’re rooted in integration, getting our people into the control rooms, on the gear, and in the heart of the event pushes us to stretch our own creativity and excellence. That’s how we stay ahead, not just by designing, but by doing.

A huge thank-you to Patrick Thompson, one of our Project Managers, for leading the engineering efforts with both excellence and heart.

Broadcast is changing fast, are you ready?

From SDI to SMPTE 2110, building a future-proof system can feel overwhelming. That’s why we sat down with Ross Video’s Josh Ashcroft to break down the Ultrix platform, a true “system in a box” that can handle anything you throw at it.

Whether you’re running a church production or a tier-one sports broadcast, this is a must-watch.

Ready to talk about how Ultrix (or another solution) could work for your facility? Send us a message today; we’d love to help design your next system.

We love the small details in our work and we think that sets us apart from our competitors. So we love it when our friends and suppliers of delicious coffee from across the pond, include a fun micro-umbrella to enjoy with our fruity sample blend. I’m sure those fruity notes will shine through even better with the umbrella. Just a quick shout out for keeping the Take One team well caffeinated and happy!

Our team recently finished integrating a Calrec Argo M audio console for one of our news station clients. This console is a game-changer! Delivering the flexibility and power needed for today’s fast-paced broadcasts while fitting perfectly into their evolving workflow.

We love helping stations bring new tools online and seeing how quickly their teams adapt to push their shows to the next level.

Thinking about an audio upgrade or full control room refresh? Let’s talk about how we can help design and integrate a solution that fits your workflow and your future.
