Time Warner Cable ASI Shuffles Off to Buffalo When Time Warner Cable built a new television production facility that was to include a Camera Studio capable of hosting two talent positions they called on ASI. Based on ASI’s design, the primary talent has ability to control inbound callers and their audio level and the camera shot and talent IFB audio levels. ASI designed and built locations within the Newsroom floor area for six reporters, two producers and two Final Cut Pro editing stations. The reporter stations are capable of P2 ingest and desktop editing using the Dalet Editing application. The Final Cut Pro stations are capable of both P2 and Digital Video ingest. All of this is integrated into the central router, Omneon and Dalet Automation systems. This project incorporated several areas: Master Control, Digital Video Routing, VIP Multi-Image Processing, Editing, Studio, Automation, IT Interface and Transmission. Wall mounted in front of the Master Control console is a 65” LCD monitor fed by an Evertz VIP A multi image display system. Base system includes a 16-source/ 2-display system. One output of the Topaz router is fed to a 17” HD/SD monitor and Wohler audio meter/monitor. This combination provides the opportunity to view and analyze all routable sources. A second output of the Topaz router is fed to one of sixteen available sources on the VIP A multi image system. Two (2) Topaz router control devices are located within the console, one panel to provide control of all router outputs and the other to the console monitoring devices. A console mounted GPI trigger enables manual operation of the changeover switch used when bypassing graphics elements. Editing is handled by a combination of Final Cut Pro editing suites and file based P2 format desktop editing. All ingest into the Omneon Media Deck system is accomplished by HD-SDI SMPTE 292 with embedded audio, and/or SD-SDI SMPRE 259M with embedded audio. Baseband signals are delivered via the Topaz routing switcher. P2 files are directly ingested into Omneon at any one of the six reporter workstations. P2 file ingest is handled by Omneon and Dalet. Azzurro integrated CAT6 cable runs between the rack room network appliance and the reporter edit stations, producer stations, Final Cut stations, Master Control, Studio and assignment desk for file transfer purposes. ASI installed an “Azzurro Cam” consisting of, Azzurro Cam control software package, PC with touch screen display, HD/SD broadcast quality camera with pan, tilt, zoom, and focus operations controllable at the talent console, 17” teleprompter display, microphones, IFB systems, telephone hybrid connections, talent microphone and hybrid mixing. Azzurro designed and installed all coax, cable end Ethernet connections to support: Final Cut Pro edit stations, reporter edit stations, producer stations, assignment desk, Master Control Console, Studio, Rack Room PC, Media Deck ingest, Media Deck Player, Chyron Micro, Chyron Cal Box, Topaz router, ECO Switch. Azzurro installed automation devices within the Rack Room and CAT6 connections between the above devices and the GigE router. The Buffalo News Bureau transmission chain consists of 18 content sources which can be placed on line via the Topaz routing switcher. |
