The Control Room

My good friend Kevin recently invited me to watch him in action. He works as a director at Kval, the CBS TV station in Eugene. It was amazing! Everything is timed out to a second and all the different graphics that appear on the TV are done live. They even know how fast the various reports read from their teleprompter! Kevin was in control, giving cues into microphones, switching all kinds of knobs, and being in control in general. It was neat to look behind the curtain ala Oz.
Peace,
Chris

I always wanted to look behind that curtain. Glad you had the opportunity.
