An Automated Network Control Center
The previous network operation in Toronto is briefly outlined and the reasons are given for the program of remodeling and augmenting the facilities. The Network Control Centre (NCC), two new transmitter booths and the Machine Room have been put on the fourth floor of the Toronto TV Building in what had been a kinerecording and office area, and the network and transmitter switchers housed in Master Control on the second floor. The Machine Room has a telecine machine for each of the booths and also has eight VTRs and space allowed for adding two more VTRs and up to three VTR cassette machines. The computer control system permits assigning any of the VTRs to the transmitter booths, to NCC and three utility rooms on the second floor, any one of which may be associated with the presentation of the initial network program stream.
