Hello again.
Time to update with a great announcement...
THE MONITOR WALL IS FINISHED...mostly...
With the exception of the video lines running to the Avitech boxes, the monitor wall is finished. Today was a day of running lines, installing boxes, and zip tiering everything. To start the day off right, we had a big box arrive at our door steps from Avitech. Inside were the brand new Avitech Rainier multiviewer boxes that will be powering the two 42" LCD's. After a bit of manual reading, we decided to throw away the book and slap the boxes in as fast as we could to see the beautiful display of video (ok, so we did take our time and do it correctly...). The only thing left to finish the wall is to crimp on the final 24 BNC ends to the tie lines.
Besides the countless hours spent basking in the glory of the one truly great upgrade of the studio, many other small things were finished up today. Lines were ran for all the datacom that will be in the control room. This includes the lines for gigabit ethernet and phone lines to the desk and racks. Also, lines running from the switcher, dve, and still store were also ran to the desk for the control panels. To finish the day off right, the first coat of stain was applied to the desk top. After a few more coats of stain and more coats of lacquer, the desk will be ready for final installation.
Also pictured below is the JVC hd-250 that was put in last semester when one of the old sony cameras failed. Seeing as how they were too old to fix, a replacement was purchased. The picture shows the camera hooked up for testing the video system to make sure all the signal flow paths were working.
Well that is all for now. I now go to stare at the beautiful pictures that are being crated in the studio, and its only the monitor wall. Wait till fall programming starts...
