could be wheeled closer to tables making it easier for members to see during a <br /> presentation, plus it has significantly greater resolution. <br /> Problem: Switcher is wearing out. <br /> Priority: Medium <br /> Solution: Replace switcher with a new model that will be digitally compatible. <br /> Problem: Control room is cramped and not laid out well for ergonomics or for accessing <br /> equipment for repairs. <br /> Priority: Medium <br /> Solution: We will not expand the current control room until decisions are made about <br /> the expansion of City Fall and adding a new Council Chambers. Instead we <br /> will add a door or panel in the hallway behind the main equipment rack. W e <br /> will also explore ways to layout the equipment in the room to better meet the <br /> needs of the Video Assistants. <br /> Problem: Poor video quality of camcorder used for field production. <br /> Priority: LOW <br /> Solution: CTV has switched to digital camcorders and is switching its editing suites to <br /> digital formats. We will hold off on replacing the SVPIS camcorder until we <br /> learn more about CTV's equipment and its availability. Similarly we will hold <br /> off on installing a non-linear editing system in the control room until we learn <br /> more about the availability of the CTV facilities. <br /> Problem: Unable to hear people in the audience who talk but do not go to the <br /> presentation desk. <br /> Priority: LOW <br /> Solution: Install ceiling mounted microphones. They will be routed out over the <br /> playback audio, but not the room audio to prevent feedback. This does not <br /> happen often, so the need is not as great for Council Meetings. However, the <br /> ceiling microphones will make it easier to tape presentations and forums in the <br /> room that involve audience participation. <br /> 3 <br />
