3. What are the robotic camera positions and routes of camera cables? <br />A tentative plan shows cameras in front of each of the two columns, and two cameras on <br />the shelf behind the dais, one near each louvered vent. <br />When locating robotic cameras, form follows function, and creating static, fixed positions <br />for those to be recorded is essential. Several important questions remain unanswered. <br />Where will local government staffs sit? <br />Where will the recorder sit? <br />Where will the public give testimony? <br />Lacking this information, we see the current ideas as the best option. <br />Brian recommends a fixed seating position for staff making presentations and the recorder. <br />A fixed position, either seated or standing, is needed for public testimony. Benefcts <br />include the abilities to: <br />1. Establish camera preset positions for the robotic cameras <br />2. Provide a microphone for each speaker <br />3. Light the hearing room itself. This task is best done with a lighting consultant after <br />camera placement and testimony area locations have been determined. <br />4. What are special electrical needs in the Audio-Visual room? <br />Plans call for three 20 amp circuits, which is adequate. In addition, it's important for each <br />of these circuits to be on the same phase. Any house audio or audio-visual equipment <br />would need to also be on this phase. Architect Leonard Lodder indicates that this change <br />can be made. <br />Another issue that surfaced is the wall treatment of the space behind the dais. Brian warns <br />of the difficulty of using white, off-white or tan. These colors provide problems for the <br />human eye as well as the television camera. Current plans call for a light, natural birch <br />wood finish, which is very close to tan. Leonard and Brian are both aware of this potential <br />problem. <br />Other questions that remain: <br />1. Who is providing audio-visual projection and what is the interface with TV equipment? <br />Most new systems have a single high intensity projector that handles all media, but <br />especially the computer "powerpoint" style electronic presentations. <br />2. Who is providing house, or public address audio and what is the interface with TV <br />equipment? <br />Brian has experience with these aspects of installation. <br />Again, it's CCTV's goal to help Marion County create a hearing room that meets live <br />meeting and media needs in a cost-effective, low maintenance manner both now and in the <br />future. <br />cc: Leonard Lodder, project architect <br />Brian Girtman, Girtman Technologies <br />CCTV Board of Directors <br />
