Grass Valley, CA. The ISIS Group, Inc. reports that three Graham-Patten D/ESAM 8000 Digital Edit Suite Audio Mixers are now part of the HD operation at the ABC-TV headquarters in New York City. In 1998, ABC-TV built their first two HD edit control rooms. During the day, the rooms were used to edit and create HD content. Then in the evening the rooms changed function, and became on-air control rooms.
Now the D/ESAM 8000 is part of those rooms, used with the Editware editing control system and a Ross Synergy production switcher. ABC-TV required a custom interface to allow the mixers to meet the needs of on-air usage. The interface allows the Ross Synergy to control the D/ESAM 8000s in the on-air environment.
While the rooms are primarily for creating and editing content, they can still be used as on-air broadcast control rooms – and a D/ESAM mixer was part of the on-air HD version broadcast of the Memorial Day 2007 Indy 500 race.
“We’re pleased that ABC chose the D/ESAM 8000 for the HD edit bays,” said ISIS Group President Len Dole. “The D/ESAM technology is ideal for linear editing, which is often the fastest way to get on-air. That is why the D/ESAM 8000 is used by major broadcasters around the world at sporting events, including the Olympics and the U.S. Super Bowl.”
