presentation materials is a priority. Beyond that it is recommended that the core of the <br />presentation system be updated. The proposed system would separate the <br />presentation system from the meeting production system and provide separate controls <br />for when the room is used as a stand-alone meeting venue. It also adds “Bring Your <br />Own Device” (BYOD) wireless connections to the system. <br /> <br />Control Room Configuration <br />Moving the equipment rack from blocking the window is also desired. There appears to <br />be two options to do so. Option 1; remove the edit desk on the far side of the room and <br />move the rack to the other side of the production desk. Option 2; move the rack into the <br />storage room behind the control room. It is a concern that moving the rack to either <br />location may require extending the wiring to the rack. It would certainly be the case if <br />we move the rack to the other end of the control room. It is only a possibility if we just <br />move the rack to the other side of the wall into the closet. The closet, however has the <br />challenge of keeping the equipment cool. <br /> <br />System Simplification <br />Related to above, is recommended that while we move the rack, we also use the <br />opportunity to remove outdated equipment and simplify the wiring and operation. <br />Depending on which rack location is chosen, the wiring from the equipment and <br />microphones in the chambers may need to be extended. Taking the opportunity to <br />simply gut and rewire the rack is the recommendation. <br /> <br />Production Switcher <br />An additional item of concern is the the Broadcast Pix Mica1000 production switcher. It <br />uses a computer running Windows 7 as a host. Unfortunately Windows 7 will reach <br />end-of-life, with updates, including security updates, ending in January 2020. In <br />researching updating the unit we got a quote to send the existing unit back and have it <br />updated for $10,000. Risks of keeping the Mica can be mitigated by not connecting the <br />computer to the network and by keeping if turned off except when in use, but if we are <br />doing additional work to reconfigure the equipment it seems that now might be a good <br />time to replace it. The benefits of the recommended replacement are two fold. One is it <br />uses an embedded OS that is not susceptible to internet attacks. Second, it matches <br />the systems recently installed in five of our other cities and would aid in cross training <br />and support. <br /> <br /> <br />PJC/pjc <br />
