WANE-TV NewsChannel 15 in Fort Wayne, Ind., is using a joint
ParkerVision/DNF Controls camera-control solution to control four
robotic cameras for newscasts and taping of news breaks, promotions and
public service announcements.
The combination of ParkerVision's DIGITAL CameraMan II system and
DNF Controls' ST420 Shotbox provides instant and precise recall of
camera presets for streamlined control over camera movements in an
automated production environment.
DNF Controls' ST420 Shotbox memorizes camera presets and operates in
conjunction with ParkerVision's DIGITAL SHOT Director to control
WANE-TV's DIGITAL CameraMan systems. The ST420 allows the news
production crew to keep track of camera presets easily by displaying
learned camera moves on the control panel face. It also offers a
virtual alphanumeric keyboard for creating and assigning preset
labels.
