master (or broadcast) control room
Explanation:
For "Schaltzentrale Regie" I would have ordinarily said "production control room", aber es klingt so, als ob es sich hier um die Sende- und nicht um die Produktionssteuerung handelt:

Wiki: "Master control is the technical hub of a broadcast operation common among most over-the-air television stations and networks. It is distinct from production control rooms in television studios where the activities such as switching from camera to camera are coordinated."
But if this unit has a more restricted function, see also
Transmission Control Room (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_control_room)

Re "Regie"?: I'm with Bernhard, that it's expressed in "master control".

Example sentence(s):
  • "Master control is the technical hub of a broadcast operation..."
  • "TCR is a room at broadcast facilities and television stations around the world. It's usually smaller in size, compared to a Master Control Room."

Notes to answerer
Asker: To see the kind of application in question here, see: http://broadcastengineering.com/automation/wdr_commissions_bfe_to_renew_broadcast_center/

Asker: Thanks (I meant to say too)!

Asker: But what about the "Regie"? Is that just "control" here?

Asker: Thanks. Sorry, I hadn't seen Bernhard's response as ProZ has become rather erratic about notifying me about peer responses lately.

Asker: See http://www.proz.com/ticket/121447


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Bernhard Sulzer: "Regie" expressed through the combination of master and control I believe.
