115‘ 11) <br /> ! fA <br /> i <br /> SWTV Truck and Trailer at Elk River Ice Arena ERtV producer Jake Pace next to KSTP News Crew <br /> Charter HD Timetable and Nexus Upgrade <br /> We have been negotiating the upgrade to HD with Charter for several years now. Bob has <br /> reported that Charter's attorney acknowledges the issue but has not committed to any time table <br /> yet. <br /> Charter has committed to converting the St. Cloud systems channel no later than January of <br /> 2017. Comcast has switched over to HD feeds in most of their metro systems. <br /> For our part, we have all the major components in place on our area wide channel SWTV except <br /> for our playback controller which is called the Nexus. <br /> I have been working with Leightronix, our playback controller provider the last couple of years <br /> in anticipation of this change to HD. They have offered us a trade in of our current SD Nexus <br /> units as credit towards the purchase of the HD units. <br /> This is the final step that we need to take to prepare for the HD transition. The HD Nexus costs <br /> $15,995 but our rate would be $11,995 with the trade in. <br /> I would recommend that we start with the SWTV Nexus first and also upgrade in the cities that <br /> are ready which would be Delano, Elk River and Buffalo. Our other cities still need some further <br /> changes before we could implement this change. <br /> This unit not only gives us the option of dual SD/HD playback but it also adds an option to have <br /> a Twitter feed at the bottom crawl line, has more branding options, better graphic capabilities <br /> 4 <br />
