Hire V2 Video Technicians for Live Productions

What Does a V2 Video Technician Do?

The V2 video technician handles the physical video components of a live event. This includes camera operation (single or multi-camera setups), projection alignment and focus, LED wall building and content mapping, video playback and content management, and cable runs for the entire video signal chain. On corporate events, the V2 operates cameras for IMAG, sets up and aligns projectors in ballrooms, and manages content playback for presenters. On concert and festival stages, they run cameras, manage LED wall configurations, and ensure video content displays correctly across all surfaces. The V2 works directly under the V1's direction and is the hands-on executor of the video department's technical plan.

When to Staff a V2 on Your Show

You need a V2 whenever your event includes camera coverage for IMAG or recording, projection in a ballroom, breakout room, or outdoor venue, LED video walls that need building and configuration, content playback requiring a dedicated operator, or any video setup that takes more than one person to install and operate. On larger shows, you may need multiple V2 technicians — one on cameras, one on projection, and one on LED walls. Booked AV makes it easy to staff as many V2 positions as your show demands.

Hire V2 Techs Without the Agency Markup

Production companies staffing V2 positions through labor brokers pay inflated rates for technicians they've never vetted. On Booked AV, you post the gig with specific V2 requirements — camera platform experience, projection knowledge, LED wall familiarity — and qualified freelancers apply directly. Review their profiles, check references and reviews, and book the right tech at the right rate. No surprise invoices. No faceless crew calls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a V2 operate any camera platform?

Experience varies by technician. Most V2 techs work with PTZ cameras, Sony, Canon, and Blackmagic platforms. Check their profile for specific camera experience before hiring.

Do V2 technicians handle LED wall building?

Yes, many V2 technicians are experienced with LED wall installation, processor configuration, and content mapping for ROE, Absen, and other common LED panel brands.

How many V2 techs do I need for my event?

That depends on your video scope. A simple single-camera, single-projector setup may need one V2. A multi-camera, multi-screen show with LED walls may require three or more. Post your gig details and qualified techs will apply.
