Master Control
The Master Control room serves as an operations center that Texas Student Television uses to monitor and control programming. Master Control is the technical hub of our over-the-air television stations and network. From the production control room and television studios, activities such as switching from camera to camera are coordinated here.
The production control room is the place in a television studio in which the composition of the outgoing program takes place. Facilities in a PCR include:
- A video monitor wall, with monitors for program, preview, the VTRs, the cameras and most of the other video sources
- Vision mixer or "switcher"
- Audio mixing console and other audio equipment such as effects devices
- Character Generator
- Digital video effects
- Technical director's station, with waveform monitors, vectorscopes and the camera control units or remote control panels for the CCUs
