With a <br /> <br />routing system, staff could simply route the camera sources to a DVCPro <br /> <br />recorder without having to lay the cables across the hallway. <br /> <br />Initially, as the Media Center continues to migrate from analog to digital <br /> <br />equipment and formats, the Center's cabling should at least be upgraded to YC <br /> <br />video to facilitate proper Jransport of S-VHS and DVCPro signals. However, <br /> <br />overall quality levels In the industry are changing to a cabling standard consistent <br /> <br />with SOl (Serial Digital), and the Media Center should consider upgrading to SDI <br /> <br />as a long-term goal. <br /> <br />Specifically, SOl enables signals to be routed and processed with no <br /> <br />generational loss. Its ability to facilitate transport from source to source without <br /> <br />any loss in quality (sometimes known as "Iossless video") would be of great <br /> <br />benefit to'the overall technical quality of future programs developed at the <br /> <br />NMMC. Additionally, equipment incorporating SOl technology is more stable in <br /> <br />performance than traditional analog components, which ultimately means <br /> <br />increased operational reliability and less maintenance. <br /> <br />Conceming various areas within the facility, we have recommended space and <br /> <br />other enhancements throughout the preceding narrative, especially for the studio <br /> <br />and editing room areas.
