The Smart Control Panel software allowed us to create customized control panels for each user that gave them full access to what they needed, without the visual clutter of things they didn't need. Some workstations like our Master Control Operator or Press Theatre Technician needed to control multiple destinations others like a simple edit suite or outgoing feed to a broadcaster only had a single destination assigned. That is where software control was invaluable. We had to have total flexibility to manage the routers - in addition to giving broadcasters complete access. Router destinations included all of the HD LCD screens placed throughout the BCMC facility, the three giant LED walls for public viewing, and, of course, outgoing feeds to broadcasters' control rooms and edit suites both in the BCMC and via fiber back to their home stations. We had more than 60 sources coming in to the system, including the BCMC press theatre, bookable and unilateral stand-up locations, multicamera feeds of Robson Square's live entertainment, remote feeds from the media center in Whistler, backhaul feeds from broadcasters, and, the most popular item, multiple “beauty cam” shots in and around Robson Square from HD cameras placed around the two-block area. The routers have the ability to configure and change connections right from our desktop. After we had gone through the initial connections, we moved onto configuration.
