Trailer Productions <br /> We have had a good winter so far covering hockey and basketball. We seem to have a good <br /> system down and we have really raised the quality and look of our productions now. The "new" <br /> cameras have been in use for over a year now and have held up well. Our recent new audio mixer <br /> acquisition has really helped the sound quality. We shoot everything in HD now but make <br /> simultaneous SD copies for the cable channel. <br /> We use replay regularly on every sports shoot and this has become very popular. Ifs also made it <br /> easier for our announcers to report the action accurately. Our next challenge for upgrade is to add <br /> a game clock and score to our graphics. <br /> Viewers want to be able to see the score and the exact game clock at all times during sporting <br /> events. We currently use a camera to take a shot of the scoreboard and cut to it when time <br /> allows. Our goal is to embed the score and clock information in the main program feed so that <br /> viewers can always see it while watching the action. <br /> Given the many different scoreboards in each of the locations that we shoot at it's nearly <br /> impossible to do this now. I'm meeting with a company soon that provides a solution to this <br /> problem. Their device will take a camera shot of any scoreboard and convert the image to data <br /> which can be embedded into our program feed. <br /> This is a huge technology change that will benefit our productions greatly. I will report back at <br /> the next meeting and plan to show you a video of how it works. It appears to be cost effective but <br /> I want to demo it before requesting the ability to add it to our trailer. <br /> ANEW <br /> .dar '1111 <br /> % <br /> • <br /> 40. <br /> SWTV and ERtV Announcer Phil Johnson interviews Elk River Activities Director Mike Cunningham. <br /> 3 <br />
