Our new municipal meeting coordinator, Dillon, has been working hard this summer to improve the quality of our government meeting recordings. See his updates below!

For Hartford Selectboard meetings, we noticed that the new temporary meeting room in downtown White River Junction wasn't suitable for a one camera kit because of the shape of the room, so we've installed a tricaster system with two cameras that better capture the entirety of the room, and the audience.  Having worked with and trained a number of videographers on the tricaster recording system, the goal is to have all videographers trained and able to use the system for any meeting that has them including meetings in the council chambers in Lebanon City Hall, and Hanover Selectmen.

For specific setups that are already installed, such as the mics set up at Lebanon School board meetings and the PA and tricaster system set up already at Lebanon City Hall, we've worked to cultivate relationships with school officials and city employees to make sure both our systems run smoothly together, and any problems are addressed in a timely matter.

For meetings such as Hartford Selectboard, Lebanon Planning Board as well as others that tend to have public presentations, preparation before recording starts has been a point of emphasis for us as well.  That includes making sure the speaker is properly mic'd up wherever he/she is in the room, as well as previewing what is going to be projected onto the screen to make sure it shows up clearly in the recording.
