Abstract
In the new CBS-KNXT studio plant, located in Hollywood, a special-purpose digital computer designed by TRW Computers Co. is used to control the sequential switching among the various program components. Automation of the switching functions during the recurrent station-break “panic periods” allows the operator to devote his primary attention to maintenance of quality. The use of a computer has resulted in a highly flexible system with a number of convenient operating features. In addition to a detailed description of the KNXT installation, operational experience gained in this pioneer effort is reviewed.
