Pittsfield Community Television-Production Control Room

Production Control Room

In this room all of our studio productions are taped and sent out live if needed. The room was recently rebuilt in April 2001


This is a wide shot of the production control room. The equipment in this room is set up to work here and be taken out on the road.	This is our video special effects generator, or switcher. This was purchased in August of 2001. It is a digital switcher with more inputs and outputs that our old switcher.

Here is the day we got the new switcher. In the foreground is Pete Ross of NNY, Inc. The components to the switcher take up the entire conference room table.	This is a good shot of the switcher and the commander pod. The pod can be used to program cool effects and transitions.

A close-up of the Mackie audio board we use for studio productions. It is a 32 input mixer.	A shot of our new audio rack. It houses a CD player, cassette deck, MiniDisc player, compressor and a Yamaha Reverb unit.

Here is our Pinnancle Deko 100 character generator. It is a professional grade CG. Similar products are used in broadcast facilities in Springfield, Albany, and Boston.	This is a crew working comfortably in our new Production Control room. You can see in the background that the audio technician can now easily see into the studio and also has there own program monitor.
