DNF Controls today announced the sale of three ST420-VSS Shotboxes to High Resolution Engineering, a Vista Systems customer and consulting firm that helps create dynamic, high-quality digital presentations for staging and production companies. The DNF Controls ST420-VSS, paired with the Vista Systems Spyder multifunction video processor, offers a fast and easy means to access and recall command keys and scripts on Spyder and play them out. It is an ideal combination for use in a multitude of staging and rental productions.

"The DNF/Vista duo provides a simple and affordable video access, control, and enhancement solution for staging and studio productions of any size," said Mike Taylor, partner at High Resolution Engineering. "DNF's ST420-VSS Shotbox offers the simplicity necessary for non-technical users producing smaller-scale shows, and the robustness needed for larger, more dynamic productions."

The Shotbox connects directly to the Vista Spyder over an Ethernet interface. Users have the power to read Vista's advanced command keys and automatically map them to Shotbox keys (10 banks of 27 keys per bank), assign a specific command key to a specific Shotbox key, recall a group of command keys at the press of a key, and step forward or backward through the cues in a single script or a group of scripts.

The Vista Spyder video processor allows a production technician to utilize a variety of inputs, including HD, DVI, analog RGB, SDI, HD-SDI, analog beta cam, composite, or s-video, and project them through a single output to multiple displays. It can be used in a range of production environments, from the boardroom to the newsroom to the stadium arena, to create compelling, dynamic shows.
