DNF Controls is a provider of hardware- and software-based control solutions for the broadcast, audio/video production, postproduction and graphics markets.

Production Control Application for Live Television (New)
DNF Controls’ Production Control Application is a specific combination of equipment from the Flex Control Network. The Production Control Application provides fast, simple and reliable control over video and graphic playout devices for live and live-to-tape programming. The application is a complete, semi-automated solution that works with existing control room equipment to simplify production control, expand production capabilities, enhance production look and branding, and minimize production errors.

Tally Control System (New)
DNF Controls’ Tally Control System is a specific combination of hardware and software from the Flex Control Network, DNF’s modular platform of professional, IP-based machine controllers. A complete system for end-to-end management of monitor wall UMDs, on-air, record and device tallies, the Tally Control System provides reliable and responsive tallying that is simple to set up, simple to use, and simple to maintain using a Web browser and intuitive interface. The Flex Control Network’s Ethernet-based architecture means tallies pass effortlessly between rooms, between floors, across campus buildings, to remote trucks, or around the world. Broadcasters can easily create complex and conditional tallies when on/off is not enough, and the system is readily scalable for special events or changing requirements.

AnyWhere Interface Box
The AnyWhere Interface Box (AIB) from DNF Controls is a compact, one-box, missing-link solution that solves equipment control and interfacing problems with no kludges. The AIB is a cost-effective way to address unique and specific needs, whether by establishing interoperability between incompatible systems, or by extending the functionality of existing systems that would otherwise require costly custom programming or interfacing. Powered over Ethernet or external power supply, the AIB is fast and easy to configure from a Web browser, with no programming or scripting required.

GTP-32 Control Processor
Designed specifically for broadcast and production environments, the GTP-32 is the hub of users control infrastructure, making control simple, cost-effective, and easily accessible. A programmable logic controller and GPI tally processor, the GTP-32 combines powerful GPI routing with robust serial and flexible Ethernet control, monitoring, and interfacing. A single GTP-32 unit can replace impossible-to-support custom solutions, extend the life of existing equipment or integrate sophisticated control between devices.
