News Desk Systems

 

Looking for some inspiration for a beautiful fresh news desk or broadcast desk for your studio? Or maybe you are in need of a video editing desk. Look no further, we have your solution. And if you don’t see what you are looking for, we can custom build it for you!  

Things to think about when researching what news desk you want:

  • Knowing exact measurements of the entire room you are working in and the area you want the desk to fit in
    • Do you have storage for additional desk pieces?
  • What sort of desk are you looking for? A desk to shoot or a desk for editing that won’t ever be on video?
  • How many talents will be sitting at the news desk at a single time?
    •  Will this number change? If so, how often?
  • Any safety regulations/restrictions/code your organization may have or have to abide by
  • Do you want a fixed/permanent broadcast desk?
  • What about height? Do you want it to be at the standard 30″ H, or 42″H bistro height?
    • Do you want the heights to be interchangeable?
  • Or do you want a modular/flexible anchor desk?
  • Is the ability to have a monitor, logo or green screen insert on the front of the news desk important?
  • Do you want a desk that is light and moveable or a broadcast desk that is on wheels?
  • Is it more important to change the desk look for the number of talents or is it more important to change the style and physical look of the desk from show to show?
  • How much money do you have to spend
  • The timeline you have to work with

With these basic questions in mind and details on your studio space, the next steps are to determine what’s most important – design, size or modularity. If you have an idea of what you want that is fantastic! You are one of the few, as most people really don’t know what they want when it comes to their talk show background or tv studio’s brand. And that is okay! 

What I would do next if I were you: 

  1. Check out our news desk option below, even if you want a fixed desk, check out our modular desks and vice-versa. Save and take note of the photos or renderings you both like and don’t like.
  2. Next, I would recommend watching some youtube channels and researching the shows you enjoy watching and respect. Take screenshots, save photos and clips of the sets you like AND don’t like. If you don’t know what you want, knowing what you DON’T want is equally as important. With all this information, our team will be able to help you design your perfect set.

“Big thanks to the whole team at Uni-Set. We recently received our Uni-Pro desk system and our talent agrees; it makes our virtual environment feel & look like a real newsroom. We have been looking for a desk to use in our virtual newsroom environment but nothing quite worked until we discovered the Uni-Pro desk system. It allows us the flexibility to quickly change the setup from a single shot to multiple guests. Versatility is key for us and with the Uni-pro system, we can quickly change the look of the desk as well as branding, table top configuration quickly and easily. The team at Uniset were a pleasure to work with; professional, courteous, and always quick to respond with answers to our questions. Again, Thank you.”

“Over the past year, however, requests have skyrocketed to additionally produce more traditional talking head and interview-style recordings. Initially, all we needed was a versatile desk setup that could easily be used in any of the three video classrooms. The answer? The NUNS 7 desk. It quickly transports to, sets up, disassembles, and is transported back out of any of our three rooms with ease. It has up to 7 different desk configurations that easily fits whatever management or executives need. One day we may be recording a classroom, the next morning we can set up a NUNS desk configuration for an executive interview recording. Quick and easy.”
