German term or phrase: Schaltungen
Eigenverantwortliches Vorbereiten und Durchführen von Schaltungen und Überspielungen im Hauptschaltraum und Bedienung der Sat-Empfangs- und Sendeanlagen

This is from a work reference for somebody who worked as a transmission engineer. I need to get the exact term here for "Schaltungen' Is it just 'broadcasts"? I found 'live broadcasts' for 'live-Schaltungen' on a google search.

Explanation:
The context ["Bedienung der Sat-Empfangs- und Sendeanlagen"] leads me to believe that Mr XXX 'prepared and handled' 'uplinks' [Schaltungen] to carry out 'transfers' or 'transmissions' ['Überspielungen'] of video material via satellite.
