    Program

    Production automation helps station management cope with the pressure of having to do more in less time with fewer people and with increasingly tight budgets. Automating the production process consolidates control of devices under one user interface, gaining efficiencies once found only in the master control suite. Operators can run the production either "on the fly" or aligned to a newsroom system rundown, using a much smaller crew than before. Automated production not only saves money, but can result in cleaner, more error-free productions.

    Brad Rochon will present some of the design considerations of a typical production automation system. What he'll talk about not only affects television stations, but all kinds of studios across the entire production spectrum. Everyone should see if they can benefit from some form of automation in their facility.

    Brad is currently Ross Video's Product Manager for Talia Facility Routing Systems and the OverDrive Production Control System. He has held management positions in distribution-channel work, engineering, and product development. At Tektronix, he worked in Measurement Products and in their Video Networking Group
