a. Osprey TV – Sen. Heather Deyarmin
Gives overview of Osprey TV.
Requested by predecessor previously.
Will increase campus programming events.
Both live and recorded events.
New switcher, router, and 2 cameras are being requested.
This creates a faster editing process.
Videohub can switch video remotely.
Would give greater coverage of UNF events, i.e. speakers, sports.
Gives more credibility to get UNF students to watch Osprey TV.
This is essentially the other half of equipment.
