I could go on for another 5 pages about all the new features in the HD Newtek Tri Caster. While <br /> the price seems high we bought our SD units for$1 5k almost 10 years ago, If you purchased <br /> individual equipment that does all the things that the TriCaster does the cost would be well over <br /> $50,000 for each city. <br /> There are currently two authorized TriCasters dealers in Minnesota.AVI Systems of Eden <br /> Prairie and AV Solutions of Minneapolis. AV Solutions is the only dealer that is also an <br /> authorized Newtek repair center. They are the company that I mentioned previously that has <br /> loaned us units for free. AV1 Systems does not offer this service. AV Solutions also has the <br /> cheaper price and includes a service warranty which is very important for a piece of equipment <br /> this complex. The TriCaster is also available from certain national warehouse vendors at the <br /> same price but does not include any service support. <br /> 1) AV Solutions quote for each city and the SWTV Production trailer: <br /> Elk River-Newtek TriCaster Model 460 with 460CS Control Surface- $19,995** <br /> Buffalo-Newtek TriCaster Model 460 with 40CS Control Surface-$16,990 <br /> Delano-Newtek TriCaster Model 460 with 40CS Control Surface- $1 6,990 <br /> Monticello -Newtek TriCaster Model 460 with 40CS Control Surface- $16,990 <br /> Trailer-Newtek TriCaster Model 860 with 860CS Control Surface- $29,995* <br /> *The difference between the trailer model and the city model is that the trailer unit has 8 camera <br /> inputs while the city version has 4 camera inputs. We use a lot more cameras for remote shoots <br /> then are used during council meetings etc. <br /> **The price difference for Elk River is based on an expanded control surface. <br /> All units come with AV Solutions Platinum support and same day replacement service. <br /> 2) AVI Systems of Eden Prairie quote for the TriCaster models are similar but warranty <br /> service is priced extra in a yearly service contract. They do not offer same day <br /> replacement service. <br /> Action Requested:I would request that you approve the purchase of the NewTek <br /> TriCaster workstations from AV Solutions of Minneapolis for the cities of Buffalo, <br /> Delano,Elk River,Monticello and the SWTV production trailer. <br /> 8 <br />
