News production system with display controller

摘要

An example news production system includes a scheduling system, a composite display with multiple display panels, and a driver and a controller for the composite display. The controller receives data from the scheduling system. The controller then identifies a digital video effect to be run by the driver. The digital video effect involves the driver using an input video stream, at least in part, to generate output video streams for the display panels. In response, the controller prompts a user for an input, and then receives a timing signal based on a user input. In response to receiving the timing signal, the controller causes a video feed network to route the input video stream to the driver and causes the driver to run the digital video effect using the input video stream to thereby generate video streams to the composite display.

1. A method for operating a display including a display panel in a news production system (NPS), the method comprising:
receiving data from a scheduling system of the NPS; identifying, based on the received data, a digital video effect (DVE) to be run by a display driver for the display, wherein running the identified DVE involves using an input video stream, at least in part, to generate an output video stream for the display; responsive to identifying the DVE, prompting a user for an input; receiving a timing signal based on a user input; and responsive to receiving the timing signal: (i) causing a video feed network to route the input video stream to the display driver, and (ii) causing the display driver to run the identified DVE.
