Team,
I thought you might like to see pictures of Monday & Tuesday at SF City Hall when the media turned out to cover the first Same-Sex marriage licenses and ceremonies. Of course, we lag years behind you forward thinkers in Massachusetts…
SF City Hall is fibered throughout, and multiple strands from every room (“inside access points” photo) go down to the basement, where they can be patched outside to the “Fiber Hydrant,” a weather-proof monument on the corner of the block where the Live Trucks park.
KPIX has their own CopperHead, and KGO uses two pairs of 5122s (Notice their kludged-together 5122 device with the V-Mount battery plate). KGO will be getting 3100 CopperHeads on all of their new ENG Trucks when they are available.
We loaned two G1 systems to KUTV (Fox) and KNTV (NBC O&O). They will be buying systems for their trucks, too. They also want 3100s.
This was a temporary solution. Soon, no hardware should be in the Fiber Hydrant, just MX connectors to connect to CopperHead Base Stations in the truck.
Thanks to Eric Olsson, who honchoed the demo gear in and out and provided training and support to the fiber-illiterati. Also thanks to Bryan who got KGO a loaner RX5122 when their failed last week during testing (you’ll get it back when Worcester fixes KGO’s).
