Pharos automate promo effects

Pharos Communications are working with BBC Technology to automate the structure and playout of promotional credits on BBC One and Two.
The system makes the task of generating promotional credits between programmes quicker and easier.
Based on a Pharos Control Platform (PCP), the installation interfaces to a Pharos Audio Server and Snell & Wilcox Magic DaVE digital video effects processor, enabling the operator to prepare complete promo sequences which are then automatically timed to fit the required playout duration. A user interface screen displays each component of the end-of-credit sequence and allows DVE moves to be assembled, rehearsed and previewed before they go to air. Programme audio fades are handled automatically to ensure smooth transition from programme sound to promo.
Pharos communications director, Roger Heath, said: "Pharos has a vast range of device interfaces and core modules that enables us to deliver solutions quickly, coupled with software designers who understand broadcast operations."
