A machine-readable non-transitory medium having stored thereon machine-executable code for providing connectivity between a remote source and a control room, comprising code to:

• receive a request to connect the remote source and the control room;
• in response to receiving the request, determine an input/output mapping between the remote source and the control room,
• wherein the input/output mapping is based on a first profile information associated with the remote source and a second profile information associated with the control room;
• and
• based on the determined input/output mapping, enable a connection between the remote source and the control room,
• wherein the remote source comprises a camera configured to provide live audiovisual content to the control room for production of a live broadcast, and
• wherein code to enable the connection comprises code to assign, to the control room, sole control of one or more communication channels supporting the providing of the live audiovisual content.

An apparatus for providing connectivity between a remote source and a control room, the apparatus comprising:

• a network communication unit configured to transmit and receive data;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• receive a request to connect the remote source and the control room;
• in response to receiving the request, determine an input/output mapping between the remote source and the control room,
• wherein the input/output mapping is based on a first profile information associated with the remote source and a second profile information associated with the control room;
• and
• based on the determined input/output mapping, enable a connection between the remote source and the control room,
• wherein the remote source comprises a camera configured to provide live audiovisual content to the control room for production of a live broadcast, and
• wherein the one or more processors are further configured to enable the connection by assigning, to the control room, sole control of one or more communication channels supporting the providing of the live audiovisual content.
