Novum Live provides managed technical production for corporate and live events. We design and coordinate the agreed production scope across audio, video, screens, lighting, staging, cameras, playback, crew, testing, rehearsals and show control. This is an accountable delivery service shaped around the event, not an online equipment or dry-hire offer.
Managed technical production is the design, preparation and live operation behind an event, not a list of equipment. Novum agrees the scope, coordinates the relevant systems and people, and takes responsibility for the technical delivery it has accepted.

Managed production scope
Start with the event, then design the system.
The technical scope follows the venue, audience, content and live programme rather than a preset equipment package.
01Start here
Venue, content and critical moments
Share the event plan, production challenge and any technical provision already in place.
02Agree ownership
Systems, suppliers and interfaces
Define Novum, venue, client and supplier responsibilities, including content and approval dependencies.
03Connect what helps
Design, testing and rehearsal
Bring the relevant audio, video, lighting, staging, playback, camera and crew requirements into one production plan.
04Deliver
Accountable show control
Operate the accepted technical scope with clear communication, contingencies and live decision routes.
01 · The detail
Managed production, not a kit list
Audio, video, screens, lighting, staging, cameras, playback and communications are specified around how the event needs to work.
Novum's offer is an accountable design and delivery service. Equipment forms part of that scope where needed, but the page is not an online dry-hire catalogue or an instant-pricing promise.
02 · The detail
Define venue and supplier interfaces
Venue AV, exclusive services, rigging, power, connectivity, content, creative and production responsibilities can overlap.
Novum reviews the available provision and agrees the technical boundary, dependencies and handovers with the client, venue and other partners before show day.
03 · The detail
Test the critical paths
Pre-production can include layouts, drawings, visualisation, content checks, system testing, crew planning, cueing and rehearsals.
Redundancy and contingency are proportionate to the event and the consequence of failure rather than added as unsupported blanket claims.
04 · The detail
Operate one live production plan
The live team works to agreed communications, responsibilities, cueing and escalation routes.
One accountable technical lead coordinates the accepted scope while keeping the event lead and client informed through the moments that matter.
Commercial outcomes
Start with what the event needs to achieve.
A system designed around the event
Specify production around the room, audience, content, programme and critical moments.
Clear integration responsibility
Coordinate technical systems, venue interfaces, suppliers, content and crew through one accepted production scope.
Testing and rehearsal where it matters
Check content, signal paths, systems, cues and people in proportion to the consequence of failure.
Accountable live show control
Give the client and event team a clear technical decision and communication route during delivery.
Built around the outcome
What the work can include.
Every brief is different. We shape the right mix of thinking, people and production around the audience and the result you need.
01
Design and visualisation
Preview the environment and refine spatial, creative and technical decisions before build.
02
Clear live audio
Design sound systems around the room, content and need for every audience member to hear clearly.
03
Screen systems
Specify and design LED or projection solutions that present content clearly and fit the event.
04
Integrated preparation
Coordinate technical elements in advance so they work together and reduce avoidable on-site changes.
Integrate screen, audio and lighting into a private corporate dinner held in a distinctive venue.
What Novum owned
Novum provided joined-up agency and production support, coordinating the technical elements with the venue, presentation content and branded environment.
Useful detail for planning, comparing options and writing the brief.
What is technical event production?
It is the design, planning and live operation of the audio, video, screens, lighting, staging, content playback, cameras, communications, crew and show-control systems behind an event.
What is included in event AV?
The scope varies but can include sound, microphones, screens, projection or LED, lighting, cameras, playback, streaming, staging, rigging coordination, crew and show control.
Should we use venue AV or an independent production company?
The best route depends on the venue agreement, event complexity, content, service level and accountability required. Novum can review the venue provision against the brief.
What backup systems should an event specify?
Backups should reflect the consequence of failure. Critical microphones, playback, signal paths, power, content and communications are assessed as part of the production design.
Does Novum provide managed production or equipment dry hire?
This page describes managed technical production. Novum designs and coordinates an agreed delivery scope around the venue, audience, content and programme, including the relevant systems, crew, testing, rehearsals and show control. It is not an online equipment-only or instant-price dry-hire service.
