Seems that is all I am doing here of lately. But it has been pretty fun work. As I stated in my last post, we had been installing a new routing switcher. Well that is all done now and here a picture to prove it!!
We have moved on to installing a new Master Control to replace the aging analog Master Control that we have been using almost 10 years. It is woefully out of date now and we are truly seeing it as we install all of these new gizmo's.
Here is what the area looked like when we first started late last year. Pretty bare, huh? Well it had been where we had our commercial playback servers and we rotated them 90 degrees so we can start construction. After we get on line, we will move the servers to a new server room and that will open the floor space back up and we can put up the walls.
Here it is now about 2/3 of the way completed. We have many monitors to be able to view most anything in the station that deals with on air since this will be the "helm" of the good ship "El Ocho." This point here has taken several months and work just about every day. It doesn't look like much, but there is lots of wire under those floor tiles. Lots of wire, almost 6 miles we figure of digital video and digital audio cable. And here is a picture of the back of one of the racks with the audio frame of the router and the master control frame.
We hope to be on the air with this in the next few weeks so we keep slugging away. Who knows, it may actually look like something and work to boot!
