HBO Latin America streamline workflow with DNF Controls solution

DNF Controls have delivered a customised control solution to HBO Latin America.
The new system streamlines the facility's process for backing up program content by simultaneously creating tape dubs during ingest of material to a Profile videodisk server from Thomson Grass Valley.
DNF's custom system, based on the company's ST300 controller and SW1x8 RS-422 Port Switcher, was designed specifically to simplify workflow and save operator time. Monitoring the facility's Harris automation system as it controls the ingest of program content to the video servers, the DNF controller automatically and simultaneously creates exact clones of the original content for backup.
"We were so pleased with the automation backup solution DNF provided for our scheduled maintenance operations that we approached them on the possibility of creating a custom workflow to streamline our program backup processes," said Sandra Conejos, senior director of engineering for HBO Latin America Production Services. "The collaboration produced the specific functionality we required in a real time-saving, affordable, and easy-to-use alternative to expanding our automation system."
David Jaffe, vice president of sales and marketing at DNF Controls, added: "To best meet our customers' needs, we must be able to use our products as building blocks for creating custom applications," said. "One of our major strengths is that we can provide products and services to meet the very specific demands of any project and provide a control solution that streamlines the facility's production workflow."
