VisualDMX installed in TV Studio
Visual Productions' software lighting control system, VisualDMX, has been installed in the Dutch SBS6 TV station to extend their fully automated studio control system.
Manufacturer of broadcast and TV/Film production equipment, Thomson Grass Valley approached Visual Productions with a special request: to extend their Ignite studio control-room automation system with a DMX-512 communication interface. Ignite was specified in the upgrade of the news-studio of Dutch television station SBS6. This studio features the popular daily news show ‘Hart van Nederland' and celebrity show ‘Shownieuws'.
Ignite is a powerful high-tech system that already automates robotic cameras, audio, auto-cue and media content - greatly reducing the required production staff. The added DMX-512 interface would enable Ignite to also take control of the studio's lighting fixtures.
Visual Productions supplied a VisualDMX lighting control system to do the job. The setup took good use of the versatility of VisualDMX and its interoperability with a large number of communication protocols. The end result showed VisualDMX set-up using a combination of DMX, MIDI and GPI contact closures.
The VisualDMX system was supplied by the Grass Valley's Dutch representative D&MS and programmed by Arnoud van Laer from Technicolor.
