asigN case studies Here are several real applications in use today... Live programming control. A major European public service broadcaster has implemented asigN to monitor the status of video servers when controlled from a master control switcher. The panels are configured to take control of play out from a server should manual intervention be required by a programme director. Whilst under switcher control, the panels' buttons are disabled and act as indicators of "play" etc, Control is taken on a channel by channel basis, if required, with one key press thus enabling server control such as "end", "cue" or play. The LCD keys illuminate differently when monitoring or controlling the server channels, their status being controlled from the switcher. Hi Tech has utilised the comprehensive GPI mapping facilities available as an option for the asigN range of configurable panels for this application. Directors control Panel The Hi Tech asigN panels have been deployed in a new company wide file based workflow solution for a major US broadcaster producing fast changing live programming. The software handles ingest, asset management, export to and import from editing workstations, archiving and playout to air. The panels are used in the last stage of the process by the technical directors to control four media players per studio control room using just one panel. Whilst keyboards and mice are used in the system, the directors find that the Hi Tech asigN panels are quicker and divert much less of the director’s attention during the always fast paced and intense live shows, thereby reducing errors. "We have been very pleased with the custom designed HiTech panels in our around-the-clock live production environment." Streamable newscasts and clips. One of the worlds leading news gathering operations is using asigN as the control surface to their internally developed streaming product. The asigN enables them to control three applications in three different systems at the same time. It will control application responsible for the recording operations resulting in on-demand streamable newscasts and clips. It will also control Live Assist in Fork (B4M) at the application level rather than the player level as with the application described above, and a Brainstorm graphics system. The configuration used HT624 with the Serial Interface and software developed by the client making use of the published serial protocol of the asigN panel.
