I'm sometimes asked to do "AV" on jobs, which in practice means I set up and operate computers and video projectors. I don't like that term as someone else does the A (audio) part.

I don't mind them using the term video jockey. The other term mentioned, "video technician" is another ambiguous term, sadly, open to application to so many things. I'm glad they did not hijack the term for their very own.
Quote:In my own mind, video still refers to people who record things with a video camera. A video tech runs cameras, recorders, or other related equipment.There's a fair bit of truth in that. But there's a lot of convergence in the technology now, and most people who work in this field are familiar with both computer graphics and traditional video.
Quote:What should we call the person who operates the computer to provide us with projected words, announcements, sermon outlines, etc.? Overhead flipper is a little demeaning, and overhead technician seems a little over the top somehow. <EMOJI seq="1f607">:innocent:</EMOJI>"Projection operator" is a good term IMO. You could also use "graphics operator" (a TV industry term), but technically if you're projecting video of any sort (live or recorded), that's not graphics.
Suggestions?
