• Glencoe vs. Dassel/Cokato playoff game <br /> Friday night football coverage continues tomorrow night when we will be covering the <br /> Glencoe vs. Dassel/Cokato playoff game! This should be a great game and will be a real <br /> feather in our commission cap! The residents and councils in both Dassel and Cokato are <br /> really excited to have us providing this coverage. <br /> We cannot cover the game live due to league rules, but we will be replaying it on Cokato <br /> Channel 12 immediately after the event. We would love to have any commission member <br /> join us if they are interested. <br /> Ultra Nexus Hard Drive upgrades <br /> We are about half way through with our change to faster raid drive systems on our Ultra <br /> Nexus playback equipment. In the cities where this has been completed playback is more <br /> stable and the transfer times to PEG Central are faster. We expect to finish this in all <br /> cities by the middle of December. <br /> Area Wide Channel setup <br /> We started work this quarter on designing the networking system for our area wide <br /> channel. I would like to acknowledge Chris Shinnick, Buffalo's IT superstar. He has been <br /> invaluable in providing access to the City of Buffalo's network which will act as an entry <br /> point to this channel. <br /> • Rick Todd of Leightronix has flown out twice this summer to assist us in setting up and <br /> testing equipment at our cities and in the trailer. Our goal, which is an aggressive one, is <br /> to have access to every city and the area wide channel by next summer's parade season so <br /> that we may send programming live from the trailer to each channel via the internet. <br /> 2011 Equipment Upgrade Assessment <br /> We are in the process of putting together a detailed overview of all the expected <br /> equipment upgrades in each city for 2011 plus equipment upgrades that we would like to <br /> request for the production trailer. This also includes our plans for an upgrade path in all <br /> cities as the industry is transitioning to high definition equipment. <br /> I am working with our Commission Chair Phil Kern and Treasurer Mert Auger on this <br /> assessment. <br /> • <br />
