DNF Controls adds bug and logo control to GTP-32

DNF Controls has added bug and logo control to its GTP-32 GPI Tally Processor. A member of DNF’s Flex Control Network line of modular, Ethernet-based, real-time machine control solutions, the GTP-32 automatically puts bugs and logos in their place, on or off.

The GTP-32’s powerful Combinatorial Logic option allows users to create simple or complex rules that automatically turn bugs and logo inserters on and off based upon master control, production switcher, and router GPIs or tallies. The rules consist of user-entered logic equations that are applied to one or more GPIs and tallies. When all the conditions are met, the bug or logo is turned on. Otherwise, it is automatically turned off.

“The GTP-32 with Combinatorial Logic really simplifies control of bugs, logo inserters, video switches, downstream keyers, and other broadcast devices, by automating when they are on and when they are off,” said DNF Controls President Dan Fogel. “This helps to minimize on-air and production errors, and create a consistent look.”

The GTP-32 is easy to set up and intuitive to use. Users may add or change rules on the fly. The GTP-32 interfaces with popular master control switchers, production switchers, and routers over a GPI, serial, or Ethernet connection.

The Flex Control Network family of products is designed to meet the challenges of expanding and changing broadcast operations. It uses modular, Ethernet-based, distributed control technology to deliver reliable, flexible, real-time machine control to meet the customer’s control requirements.
