Exhibit A <br />Executive Summary — Caoex March 1s 2016 <br />The objective of this project is to rework the City of San Marcos TV channel and production facilities to improve delivery <br />of content to the citizens of the city. Each of the main segments of the project is discussed below: <br />COUNCIL CHAMBER: <br />Production Systems: <br />Install six HD Pan -Tilt-Zoom cameras in the room, situated to give the best coverage possible. These cameras <br />will be controlled from the VDESK system in the control room using both a joystick and pre - configured presets. <br />Presentation Systems: <br />For overflow audiences, the display in the foyer will be fed the HDMI output of the VDESK as a secondary <br />input. The existing presentation system will be retained and fed into the new VDESK system. <br />Voting Systems: <br />A 10 -seat capable voting system will be installed with voting panels for the members of the City Council — the <br />results will be displayed on one of the existing 40' displays over the entrance and on a new 46' display to be <br />mounted for audience viewing. Compact PC systems will be used for the displays and will communicate via Wr- <br />Fi. The voting system will appear as a separate input on the VDESK. <br />CONTROL ROOM: <br />Production Systems: <br />The RUSHWORKS VDESK system will control the cameras and let operators easily add titles and other <br />graphics. A live signal can be sent to the A-LIST via an SDI video router. All equipment will be located in <br />existing equipment racks in the Control Room. Monitoring and control of the system will reside in the racks to <br />keep the work surface as Gear as possible. <br />Audio Systems: <br />Channel playback audio systems will be integrated into the new playback and production automation systems. <br />No changes will be made to the chamber audio systems. <br />Playback Automation Systems: <br />The RUSHWORKS A -LIST system will play both full- screen video and zoned graphics with background audio. <br />This system supports pass -through of HD video from the VDESK to air. You can also select other input sources <br />if desired. A -LIST will deliver an Adobe Flash stream of the channel output to the City IT department for use on <br />the City website. <br />All video sources will be sent through a video router, allowing easy expansion of the system and bypassing of <br />equipment if needed. The REMO portable system will be available as a live input using the City's internal <br />network. <br />A multi- viewer device will be installed to allow easy monitoring of all sources and easy verification of audio. An <br />SDI to analog down - converter will be installed to take the new HD signal and deliver it to cable providers as an <br />analog SD signal. <br />PORTABLE SYSTEMS: <br />Production system: <br />The RUSHWORKS REMO system provides all the features of the VDESK system in a portable package. Three <br />HD Pan -Tilt -Zoom cameras are included with a carrying case, tripods and 100' cables. This also includes a <br />remote live delivery component to allow delivery of the signal to the Cable Head -End at City Hall for live <br />broadcast. The system is also capable of delivering an Adobe Flash stream for internal use or other delivery <br />needs. <br />Audio system: <br />The portable audio solution is designed with four wireless microphones and a patch panel for the inclusion of <br />wired microphones. Audio mixing will be handled by an 8 -input auto mixer. <br />INSTALLATION AND TRAINING: <br />The Installation of this system is estimated to take approximately one week, with training to be done <br />concurrently as systems are completed. The final day of installation will be set aside for customer training and <br />cleanup. <br />12 <br />RUSHWORKSI City of San Marcos Systems Upgrade, Installation and Integration Agreement <br />
