Day 14 - Begin of Finishing work

I know it may sound like we are on the last leg of the transformation of StudioB, but there are many things that still have to be done.

Today was another day of finishing up projects that need to be completed in the control room. The firs major project was to wire up the monitor wall multiplexers. The new shipment of BNC ends came in and work was quickly underway. Before you know it, 24 new BNC cables were finished. It seems like this will truly finish the monitor wall in all its beautiful 1080p High Definition goodness... Of course, work still needs to be done to program the placement of each of the video boxes which will be done later.

Also finished today was the running of reference sync lines. In the picture below, you will see the orange video lines. These phosphorescent orange cables carry the black burst signal that will sync all the pieces of equipment to the same frequency in order for them all to work correctly. With these ran, one last major step is finished to get the system up and running. With the exception of a few loose video lines needing to be ran, the video/tape rack can now be pushed back against the wall and never touched again...Hello dust collection...

The most notable accomplishment done is the desk. After a few coats of stain and lacqure, the desktop is finished. Along with the finish being applied, the intercom stations have been installed and mounted. You may notice in the pictures below that another desk has been built and installed. This is the teleprompter station. The desk also rounds out the back wall making seem less bare than it needs to be.

And, if you thought that I was stuck in the studio without ever seeing the sun (since all my pictures are without natural sunlight), I added a nice picture of the Tennessean sun. Now I must get inside before I turn to dust ... Into the night...
