Follow on Google News | DNF Works with CNN for Live WorkflowDNF Control's Technology Makes On-air Camera Shading More Responsive Visit DNF Controls at NAB: LVCC North Hall #1715
By: DNF Controls "We're very pleased to have a hand in working with CNN and their on-air product," said Dan Fogel, chief technical officer of DNF Controls. "We were able to help the Los Angeles production center eliminate a manual step in the camera shading workflow that was error-prone and wasted precious seconds during the coverage of fast-paced live events." Shading multiple cameras - especially during fast-paced news coverage - is an intense, two-handed operation. Shifting focus from the controls to switch a router is a distraction. Recalling successful outcomes on other projects, CNN turned to DNF Controls for a one button-press solution. Using DNF's GTP-32 Control Processor, a signal from the Sony panel triggers the correct router crosspoint, instantly sending that camera's video to the shading monitor. "Turner encourages workplace innovation, and I was happy that together with DNF, we were able to develop a solution that eases operational workflow," said Terry York, the CNN field engineer who worked directly with DNF's Dan Fogel. "We're looking for opportunities to use this set-up across the organization," DNF's GTP-32 (http://www.dnfcontrols.com/ About CNN CNN, owned by Turner Broadcasting Systems, a division of Time Warner, is a world leader in news and information delivery.
