cables
Aldermans' Room:
20' video and wall outlet:
•
Wisconsin Room: 20' Video & Audio Balanced
Qskego Room: 2 x 40 ' Video & Audio
Option for additional 1 40' Video & Audio
Studio Patch cables are short, but, 4 audio cables R $10 each or so. We
have existing video cables.
Distances are all 'eyeball' estimates, not measured. MPAG does have some
video cable, which we could donate for this project. -pis cable was
donated to MPAG by Jeff ,Tones.
Miscellaneous costs: Wiring boxes: 3 are needed, one each in
Alderman's, Wisconsin Room, & Studio. The Muskego Room needs a 'front
panel piece with custom wiring behind it. Cost of each might be around
$10, depends on what type of materials and construction are used.
•
Original 'top of head' $200 estimate was for Alderman's Room installation
andalldownstairs cables, etc. The Alderman's room would be wired
direct to its modulator, and the Wisconsin & Muskego Room's Direct to the
Mini-T switcher & Toaster connections. No switching between sources
would be needed, but only one camera would normally be used.
Running through the studio allows tapes to be played in advance of a
program, or as part of the program. The sound can also he controlled
through the studio, with music, etc. Such things may not be needed for
most programs, but do make a nice added touch, especially if done at a
low cost. The Video Toaster can also be used to display such things as
'agenda', meeting identification, etc.
This system (direct wiring) has a disadvantage in that the
modulator must be switched. A 'remote power switch' could be installed,
cost $50 - 100 , to allow a switch in the alderman's room to deactivate
the downstairs modulator at the same time that the upstairs one is
activated.

Also, needod : XLR to RCA adapter (S10) for sound to Mini—T switcher,
total wiI.h this $128
