télé maximum

I'm translating a commentary on the making of a short film. Not sure what "télé maximum" means in following context:

On va se mettre à cette hauteur-là,
et on se met au gros télé sur la plage devant,
On reste comme ça,
toi tu te mets au gros télé très loin,
télé maximum.
On reste bien dans l’axe de l’eau,
on va voir à quoi ça ressemble.
Vas-y, serre, serre, serre !
Voilà, peut-être plus encore.
T’es au maximum là ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
