The Problem

Most AV training
Fails in the Field

  • Hours of YouTube with no structure or show-day context
  • Manuals that are 300 pages and impossible to reference mid-show
  • No one standardizes signal flow, codec, or server terminology
  • Junior operators freeze when the TD calls a cue they've never run
  • Expensive workshops that don't fit a touring schedule

Video Ref Pro is
Built Different

  • One card, one concept — grab it, read it, execute it
  • Designed for show-day speed: visual-first, jargon-fluent
  • Print or pull up on phone/tablet in the truck before load-in
  • Covers the exact questions operators ask under pressure
  • Written by working live event professionals, not academics

From the Crew

What Operators
Are Saying

★★★★★

I used to freeze when the TD asked me to patch a new output in Disguise mid-show. The Quick Start card lives on my tablet now. Problem solved.

Marcus T.
Media Server Op · Corporate Events
★★★★★

The codec reference card alone is worth the price. I've shared it with every freelancer on my crew. No more arguments about which format to deliver.

Jess R.
Video Director · Touring / Festivals
★★★★★

Our whole team went through the LED troubleshooting card before a stadium show. Saved us 45 minutes of dark tiles on a dark night. Absolute must-have.

Dani P.

365-Day Guarantee

If the Video Ref Pro cards don't level up your confidence on show day — for any reason, at any time in the next 365 days — we'll refund you in full. No questions. No forms. No fine print. We believe in this deck, and we want you to prove it to yourself.

Common Questions

Got Questions?

Are these printable or digital-only?
Both. Every card comes as a high-res PDF formatted for A4, A5, and mobile screens. Print your favorites for your kit bag or pull them up on your iPad in the truck.
What software platforms do the cards cover?
Current cards cover Disguise dV, Resolume Arena, Green Hippo Hippotizer, Notch, Brompton/Novastar LED processors, and platform-agnostic topics like signal flow, codecs, and show operations.
I'm a total beginner — is this for me?
The Starter Pack is designed for exactly that. The cards assume industry context but guide you step by step. If you're transitioning into video or media server roles, this is the fastest way to get fluent in the language.
How do I get new cards after I purchase?
New cards are added quarterly and sent straight to your email as a free download. Pro and Team license holders get early access before public release.
Can I share the cards with my crew?
The Starter and Pro licenses are for single users. The Team License covers up to 10 people. For larger crews or company-wide distribution, contact us for a custom quote.
What if it's not what I expected?
Email us within 365 days and we'll refund you completely. We'd rather you walk away happy than hold onto a product that doesn't fit your workflow.
