French term or phrase: car régie
Hi all!

This is from a scheduling optimisation software description but the particular bit where my term appears is about TV, film and radio:

"C'est un pack logiciel prêt à l'emploi pour répondre aux contraintes de votre métier. Un modèle Média prêt à l’emploi
– Modèles réutilisables : Emission / Elément / Etape.
– Profils et spécialités : journaliste, cameraman, script,
– Moyens (studio, salle montage, **car régie** ...)."

I know what this is but don't know how to say it in English and haven't been able to find a translation.

Explanation:
This is the official BBC term, though I don't know how widely used it is outside the UK. It's origins go way back, but I believe it is still in current use.

The 'scanner' or main control room (= 'régie') is of course just one of the many different types of OB vans or trucks; AFAIK, it's the only one that has a dedicated name.
