Ok! the answer, to both questions, is a resounding yes, it is called Technology Convergence. Channel 63 is a Video channel like any other. Curently Channel 63 shows Video Graphics, and of course scheduled showings of Delegate Assembly Meetings.
We are continuously upgrading the Channel and in due course, it will resemble a professional TV station more and more; this means Interviews of live people, coverage of Village News, discussion groups on issues of Village interest....Etc.
There are numerous ways to accomplish this; today, we Video the Delegate Assembly meeting and dump the Camera Hard Drive to a DVD which we then play on the Channel 63 equipment. Soon that will be automated and the DVD will be loaded into the Channel 63 player at the software level.
The next step will be a Box or a bit of Software which will take the Video output of the player and convert to Streaming video in MPEG format for direct transfer to the INTERNET, either on this BLOG or with UCO cooperation on the CV Website.
The cost of this capability may be free to nominal.
Once you have data in binary format (bits), anything is possible,
including Fast-Forward, Rewind, Pause.....!
Add to this list for future consideration: Fire alarm, Medical alert, Sheriff Dept emergency calls, Burglar alarm...Etc.
Stay tuned to this channel for more on this issue.
