<br /> <br />Arden Hills City Council <br />Audio/Video Upgrade <br />Prepared By: CTV North Suburbs Staff, Pat Cook and Dana Healy <br /> <br />This document provides a qualitative report on the current state of the equipment, the intended <br />goals for the upgrade, and the reasoning behind the equipment purchases. The document also <br />provides insight on cost saving possibilities. <br />1.​ ​Current State of Equipment <br /> The current state of the equipment is standard definition cameras. <br /> <br />There are three cameras located in the chambers in cubby holes on the back and side walls. <br />The cubby holes drastically cut down on the ability to frame video shots within the chambers. <br />More strategically placed cameras can alleviate this problem. <br /> <br />The speakers and audio system are in good working order. There are no issues with the <br />audio equipment. <br /> <br />The projector is uniquely large and is strongly utilized for presentations, however the picture <br />can be grainy. It is a rear projection system, which utilizes a small room off to the side of the <br />chamber. <br /> <br />There is a document camera located in the ceiling that is also standard definition. This <br />document camera is rarely used. <br /> <br />The dais houses individual monitors with power, internet, as well as microphones. These <br />monitors are in good working order. <br /> <br />2.​ ​Goals for the Equipment Upgrade <br /> 1.​ ​To increase the quality of the video production equipment to high definition. <br />2.​ ​To create a similar audio visual set up to the surrounding cities in order to increase the <br />backup roster of employees to produce the meetings. <br />3.​ ​To provide more flexibility in the shot choice by not mounting the cameras cubbies. <br />4.​ ​To provide ease of use for presenters to hook up equipment. <br /> <br />
