The New Control Room

The control room is just the most obvious addition in a project which will replace nearly every wire and piece of gear at the station. It’s a crazily complex project.

A new control room is being constructed at work. That’s actually an understatement because the control room is just the most obvious addition in a project which will replace nearly every wire and piece of gear at the station. It’s a crazily complex project.

Instead of the traditional broadcast switcher we’ll be using Ignite from Grass Valley. Think non-linear editor or PowerPoint for a live broadcast. It’s more structured than a legacy control room but it’s a whole lot less labor intensive which seems to be the goal everywhere nowadays.

Here’s a very short video to show you a little of where we are.

  1. Interesting. We’re going through the same thing right now…except our end product will be Ross Video’s OverDrive and not Ignite.

    I should throw the picture of our empty control room on Facebook. (We moved the old Digital SD control room to a temporary location and are building the OverDrive HD control room in place of the old control room.)
