Hardware Interface Considerations for a Multi-Channel Television Automation System
The newly automated Television Central facility at NBC's Radio City plant in New York controls ten simultaneous audio/video channels. These computer-controlled channels are independent, in that each has its own audio and video switching system as well as control of rolling devices, display systems, and manual overrides. Selection and installation of the General Automation SPC-16/45 computer and peripheral equipment permitted this high level of switching control. The computer architecture and input/output options as well as the needs of the NBC Production and Engineering staffs were important considerations.
