484 NEWLAND F. SMITH as well as an audio monitor and audio level meter are assigned to each outgoing channel so that levels on each outgoing channel can be set independently as well as monitored. Two synchronizing signal generators are provided, one for standby use in case of trouble. An RCA Genlock unit has also been installed which permits the line-by-line as well as field-by-field phasing of the local synchronizing signal generator with an incoming remote signal. This permits the use of a remote signal in lap dissolving and superposition with local cameras and it has been found to be particularly effective with film commercials inserted during remote programs. The new WOR-TV Studios have been in use since about the first of February. During this time it has been found that the facilities have met almost all of the requirements put upon them by the Program Department. Flexibility in meeting these requirements has been apparent in producing programs that would have been very difficult under more usual conditions. Tn addition, centralized camera control operation has resulted in helpful economies in both manpower and maintenance.
