Page 9 Power Back Up UPS battery back up would be strongly recommended to prevent channel outages in the event of power interruption. The size of battery and length of time it operates would be dependent on the switchover time to emergency generator power. Additional Ethernet lines to support the equipment. There may be capacity in the server room adjacent to the cable room, and only additional lines need to be pulled. There may need to be a network switch installed in the cable room. These details can be worked out once a determination is made to move ahead. Cooling/Noise Issues Much of this equipment is designed to be housed in a server room with appropriate air conditioning. The current air flow of the cable room is marginal for the existing equipment. Adding several modern servers would be entirely beyond the air flow capacity of the existing configuration. Because of cooling fans the sound output is not designed for an office setting. Alternative location of server racks should be found, possibly on the lower level of City Hall with the computer servers. Total: $30,255 plus installation, UPS, Ethernet, relocation This is the equipment needed to support one channel of video, Mounds View 16. The manufacturer recommends a 5 -year replacement schedule for the video equipment. Modern video servers can be thought of as computer servers that specialize in video files and have a similar expected service life. The City could budget an annual amount of $6500 for capital equipment to support a 5 -year replacement cycle. Eight channels (all PEG) Under the terms of withdrawal, Mounds View would be responsible for managing all of the PEG channels within the boundaries of the city. NSAC currently manages eight channels: 14 - Local Government & Sports 15 - Local Programming 16 - City Channel 18 - School District 623 19 - School District 282 20 - School District 621 21 - Non -Local Programming 98 - Satellite Programming
