<br />and equipment can be replaced simultaneously. The expectation is that the truck will have to <br />be replaced first. In this instance, equipment from the old truck will continue to be utilized in <br />the new truck, until We can afford the digitE,1 replacements. As the new equipment is put in <br />place, the old truck equipment will be used to outfit a control room for the second studio. <br /> <br />With this goal in mind, we plan to replace flO equipment in 2001. However, if an essential <br />piece of equipment ceases to function, we will have to tap into the equipment fund to replace <br />it. <br /> <br />FUTURE EQUIPMENT PURCHASI::S <br /> <br />. 2002 <br />Phase two of the master control upg'ade v.. ill be the primary concern in 2002. We will want to <br />purchase some DVCPro playback dE:cks a: Id cards, SVHS playback decks and cards, and <br />DVCPro play/record decks for a dub rack <br /> <br />Hopefully we can also purchase some DVC;Pro mastering equipment for the studio, staff edit <br />suite, and truck. <br /> <br />We will continue to make contributiOllS to tile equipment fund. <br /> <br />. 2003 <br />The final phase of the equipment upgrade n master control will be undertaken. This will <br />include additional tape decks, audio and vi, Jeo distribution amplifiers, test equipment, monitors <br />and modulation equipment. <br /> <br />Additional DVCPro mastering equipment p Irchases may be made <br /> <br />We will continue to make contributions to t Ie equipment fund <br /> <br />· 2004 and beyond <br />By 2005, we could possibly have the monE; / to fully outfit a new production truck with digital <br />equipment. <br /> <br />Our goal is to outfit the truck so that its output is true digital. This would require us to buy a <br />digital switcher, audio and video routers and distribution amplification system, and cameras. <br /> <br />We could buy the equipment in pieces, but that would be more expensive for us in the long <br />run. If you are using analog equipment and digital equipment simultaneously you need <br />additional equipment (cards) to translate the signals between the equipment. This can actually <br />be quite expensive, and unnecessary if all of our equipment was digital to begin with. <br /> <br />If we can wait until 2004-2005 to buy both the new truck and digital equipment, we will. If we <br />have to purchase the truck earlier, we will continue to use the equipment from the old truck <br />until we can afford to replace all of it with digital equipment. At that time, the old equipment <br />will be used to outfit a control room for the second studio. <br /> <br />12 <br />
