DNF Controls Provides Chyron’s Channel Box 3.0 With Fast, Reliable Push-Button Control
SYLMAR, Calif. July 6, 2009 — DNF Controls, a global provider of field-proven control solutions for the broadcast and post-production industries, is now providing its Universal Switch Panel (USP) on an OEM basis to Chyron. Sold by Chyron and called the “Control Master,” DNF Controls has capitalized on the USP’s customizability to give Chyron’s Channel Box 3.0 users fast, reliable pushbutton control in place of using a Windows interface.
Available in 8- and 16-button configurations, the 1-RU Control Master panel is perfectly suited for installations where real estate is at a premium.
Designed for non-programmers, DNF’s standard USP is easily configurable via a web browser. Similarly, Chyron’s Control Master version of the panel is configured from the Channel Box Windows user interface.
Channel Box V3.0 is the latest software release of Chyron’s family of powerful, cost-effective and customizable branding and automated promo systems. Designed for ease of interfacing and integration with facility automation, traffic and management systems V3.0 is a state-of-the-art release.
Buttons can be easily configured to control any scene within the Channel Box database, including dynamically updating text within a scene. Leveraging the power of DNF’s USP platform, each button of the Control Master supports multiple states: the first press may ‘Open’ a scene, the next press ‘Play’ the scene, etc. Each button is backlit in a choice of colors and features LCD text, both of which can be programmed to change dynamically based on state. Buttons will flash red if an error condition exists. All communication is transmitted via Ethernet, keeping installation simple.
