The production control room or studio control room ( SCR ) is the place in a television studio where the exit program composition takes place.

The production control room is sometimes also called SCR or gallery - the last name comes from the original placement of the director on the ornately carved bridge spanning the first studio of the BBC at Alexandra Palace who once referred to be like a singer's gallery. Master control is a technical center of broadcasting operations that is common among television stations and over-the-air television networks. Master control differs from PCR in television studios where activities such as switching from camera to camera are coordinated. The transmission control room (TCR) is typically smaller in size and is a smaller centralized version.

Production control room facilities

Facilities in the production control room include:

• The video monitor wall, with monitors for programs, previews, VTRs, cameras, graphics, and other video sources. In some facilities, monitor walls are a series of shelves containing physical television and computer monitors; on the other, the monitor wall has been replaced with a virtual monitor wall (sometimes called a "cockpit glass"), one or more large video screens, each capable of displaying various sources in the monitor wall simulation.
• Mixers of vision, the large control panel used to select multi-camera settings and various other sources to be recorded or viewed in the air and, in most cases, on any video monitor set. The term "vision mixer" is primarily used in Europe, whereas "video switching" is typically used in North America.
• Professional audio mixing console and other audio equipment such as effects devices.
• The character generator (CG), which creates most of the full-screen digital names and graphics that are inserted into the bottom third program of the television screen
• Digital video effect, or DVE, for video source manipulation. In the newer vision mixer, DVE is integrated into the vision mixer; old models without built-in DVE can often control external DVE devices, or external DVE can be run manually by the operator.
• Still save, or still frame, a device for storing graphics or other images. While its name indicates that the device is only capable of storing still images, the newer still saves can hold moving video clips and motion graphics.
• Technical director station, with waveform monitor, vectorscopes, and camera control unit (CCU) or remote control panel for CCU.
• In some facilities, VTRs can also be found in PCR, but are also commonly found in the central aparatus space
• Intercom and IFB equipment for communication with talent and television crew
• Signal generator to genlock all video equipment to common reference requiring colorburst
