CHAPTER 5.13 Television Station Automation

CHRIS LENNON

Harris Corporation Colorado Springs, Colorado

INTRODUCTION

Television station automation has evolved over the years from rather humble beginnings into the highly sophisticated systems that exist today. Such systems are capable of controlling large amounts of equipment for the assembly and playout of content for multiple program channels and affect nearly every aspect of the on-air broadcast process. They provide functionality and reliability not previously possible, while also improving overall business efficiency. This chapter summarizes some of the developments that have taken place and introduces the technologies that comprise such systems in a modern broadcast plant.
