REMOTE D.I.T. is an innovative alternative to a traditional on-set DIT.

How Does REMOTE D.I.T. Work?

Step 1

TexasDITS ships a complete DIT fly pack (kit) directly to your production location.

Step 2

Place the fly pack in the production office or anywhere with electricity.

Step 3

When camera cards are ready, we remotely connect to the fly pack to execute your media management plan.

REMOTE D.I.T. Solves Business & Production Challenges

Never Pay Overtime

Working only when you need us (usually a few times per day), there is never risk of overtime!

Eliminate All Travel & Expenses

No flights, no hotel rooms, no per diem, no meals & no mileage!

Consistency For All Locations

For multi-city docuseries or multiple camera units use the same DIT and spend less time searching for & onboarding multiple employees!

Less Stress, More Sleep

No need to stress over late wraps and early calls anymore, our DIT isn't driving, so you both get more sleep!

Who's Using REMOTE D.I.T.?

"I have a DIT on-set for 10-12 hours, but I only need the Tech a few times per day, usually at crew lunch and at wrap. REMOTE D.I.T. has transformed how I budget and utilize a DIT on all my commercial and advertising projects!"

Matt Bloom, Producer

"Using REMOTE D.I.T. for a travel documentary revolutionized my hiring process. I no longer spend hours and hours searching and hiring multiple local Techs. I now use the same DIT for all filming locations. The DIT kit travels with us and the editors love interacting with one DIT!"

Caitlyn Wyborn, Production Manager

"REMOTE D.I.T. is basically like having the actual DIT on set. I walk up to the DIT kit, pop in the camera cards, and -boom- I'm video chatting with the DIT who's five states away... and I'm back on-set in no time!"

Bharat Clark, 2nd AC

FAQ

Where is the Tech located?

Our DITs are located in Texas. Our cental time zone and some of the fastest internet infrastructure in the United States makes Texas an ideal location to serve all time zones

If the DIT is remote, how do we communicate?

Of course, a call, text or facetime can work, but our remote DIT fly packs are equipped with Google Meet so we can talk face-to-face.

Once the fly pack arrives, do I need to connect all the devices?

No, the fly packs are delivered fully assembled with all devices pre-connected and ready for use. The only items that you need to plug in are electricity and your backup hard drives /shuttle drives. All USB ports are clearly labeled and easily accessible, requiring no technical expertise. Rest assured; we are available to guide you through the process if needed.

Does my location need a high-speed internet connection?

No, our REMOTE D.I.T. fly pack includes a high-speed 5G LTE hotspot that allows us to connect to it anywhere. Our Hotspot automatically finds the fastest and stongest cellular signal, be it T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T. If your location has cellular phone signal, so do we.

If the fly pack location can be connected to hard-line internet or reliable venue wifi, we prefer using that.

When production locations do not have cellular service we deploy our (optional) Starlink dish for space based internet, anytime, anywhere!
