Day 12 - Monitor wall, take 2


Hello all

Surprise, I am throwing in a bonus post since my posting schedule has apparently moved to a once a week posting. However, I could not just keep this one to myself till next week.

If you hadn't noticed, we have the monitor wall finished again (it went quicker this time for some reason ;-) ). Pictured above are the two 47" Philips LCD HDTVs that are the core of the monitor wall. As I stated before, these will hold 24 video inputs that can be configured in any way possible. The desktop has been put in for layout and final adjustment, though it has not been attached to the supports yet. In the picture to the right, you can see that we have added the wood for the intercom station. It will be built into the desktop and have a 45 degree tilt to it.Though it may seem like there is little room left for the director, there is actually quite a bit of room in front of the station, the same if not more than what it was previously with the old desk. Also you have the space on top of the station that can also be used as desktop space.

To the right of the monitors, you can see the opening for the GVG 200 switcher control surface. The rest of the layout will include space for the DVE and still store controls to the right of the switcher, Director and Producer spaces in front of the monitors, and space for the CG operator to the left of the monitors.

Well, hopefully that can sustain everyone's appetite until next week...

okay so the director and TD are like RIGHT THERE up on the monitor wall?? Strange....but workable, i guess. Sort of like sitting on the front row of a movie theather...only telling the actors what to do at the same time.
