The public <br /> <br />producers also said that there Is a significantwalt before broken equipment gets <br /> <br />fixed. Again, the new engineer should be able to address this problem, as well. <br /> <br />It is important to note, though, that with the amount of work projected for the <br /> <br />video engineer, it may be necessary to add part-time or full time technicians in <br /> <br />the future in order to assist the engineer. This potential should be factored into <br /> <br />long-range hiring plans for the Media Center. <br /> <br />Facility Improvements <br /> <br />We believe It is necessary to focus on a facility, as well as equipment, upgrade <br /> <br />path for the Media Center. As an example, the Media Center does not currently <br /> <br />have an appropriate routing system throughout the facility. The facility is currently' <br /> <br />. only wired with composite video and analog audio. We believe there is a need <br /> <br />for a comprehensive routing system throughout the facility for both video and <br /> <br />. audio. A routing system provides the ability to send a video/audio signal from <br /> <br />one source in the facility to any other source in the facility. For example, there <br /> <br />could be video footage or a graphic that is created in one of the edit suites that Is <br /> <br />needed for a production in the control room. With a routing system, a producer <br /> <br />could simply designate what source he or she wants the signal from and obtain it <br /> <br />electronically from that source for use in the control room. Another example, as <br /> <br />described earlier, Is the NMMC's current situation of having to physically lay <br /> <br />North Metro Media Center Narrative <br />CBG Communications, Inc. 06!?'if02 <br />P.6 <br /> <br />Page 33 of 47 <br />
