The systems are built around DNF’s Flex Control Network and include multiple DC21 device controllers and CP20 panels to manage the 64-channel configuration. Incoming feeds will be shared between two work pods per location, each of which will display the status of its record channels. The entire system features a DNF-driven LCD panel that provides an at-a-glance status of all 64 channels.

The 2016 Summer Olympics begin tonight, Aug. 5, and run through Aug. 21 in Rio de Janeiro.
