TSL shifts focus to remote requirements
- Details
Since TSL’s acquisition of DNF Controls in April 2019, the US team based out of Northridge, CA, has remained focused on the developing and supporting the Flex Control Network and range of Universal Control Panels.
“We have many customers across the United States who use our Flex Control Network for critical production and playout in news-based Hub and Spoke systems that connect network stations. Due to heightened demands in remote broadcasts, we recently altered our R&D to service our Flex customers and assist them in response to the pandemic,” says Fred Scott, regional sales manager U.S. at TSL and former sales director for DNF Controls.
“With many customers working remotely, rather than in-studio, we added a feature called ‘Web Keys’ that, when connected to any DNF powered Universal Switch Panel within the Flex network, allows users to control devices situated in major hub and spoke installations across the US from home.”
TSL has been able to re-prioritise very quickly in order to support its customers in their remote workflows, but above all, the company holds its staff to the highest regard. “Our number one priority is our staff, says Mark Davies, director of products and technology at TSL Products.
“TSL has offices in the United Kingdom and Los Angeles so we’ve been keeping up with the latest Californian and UK requirements. All employees, other than those manufacturing products, are working from home. Our sales, product and support teams are still working with customers in full capacity. On the manufacturing side, we have only essential staff in place, allowing those who cannot work efficiently from home to practice safe social distancing.”
