The Fully-Computerized Studio

The use of remote camera-control systems for news studios, enabling an operator to reposition the camera and recall preprogrammed positions remotely, is well established. By expanding camera-control systems to include the capability to control other broadcast machines, substantial production cost savings can be made. This article examines the principal features of an integrated machine and camera-control system, starting with some design aspects of servo-controlled pan-and-tilt heads and communication techniques and concluding with examples of systems for use in news studios and legislatures.
