Thank you to all who helped make GRTV's maiden voyage of the new media lab a success at this year's Festival of the Arts. Thank you for standing on shaky scaffolding, operating a camera on the scissor lift during 25 mph winds, directing for the first time, scrambling during a short rain shower, and making sure the graphics were spelled correctly! Without you, GRTV's 30 hours of taping would not have been possible.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Just in the nick of time for Festival the new portable production studio equipment has arrived. The system uses the NewTek Tricaster, with graphics, slow-mo replay, recording and distribution of the production. The cameras are JVC GY-HD250's with the studio package. We are very excited to premier the system at Festival.
