Summer Term 2008 Update

February saw the filming of the PCSP lessons planned for before Christmas.
A total of 10 subject areas were identified by PCSP and good practice lessons were recorded by a team of 40 pupils trained by us in Monaghan before Christmas.
In the North it has been decided to record 5 programmes highlighting five new concepts from the New Curriculum.
All programmes will go into post production in April to be completed for transmission on Information TV in October 2008. Online materials will also be produced to accompany the series of programmes.

We have now finalised the technical facilities required for NEELB TV, our own web based television channel. This station will be hosted by the NEELB through the deployment of a number of Helix servers offering a mixture of streaming and on demand services. We have also purchased a distribution system called DatPresenter which allows up to 300 programmes to be distributed live or on demand via the Internet.

All in all it has been a very busy year for us on the Truck and this is hopefully set to continue with a new chassis being fitted in April and May allowing us to carry more equipment, including two channels of slow motion, a full PA rig, a dolly and track, a steadycam and various radio control enhancements will allow us to record and broadcast a wide range of material and event in the near future.
