that just focus on Marshall yeah I'm

20
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:45,539
kind of partial to that one and you also

21
00:00:49,279 --> 00:00:47,100
do press briefings right here in the

22
00:00:51,410 --> 00:00:49,289
studio yes this is the place where we do

23
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:51,420
lab press briefings or laughs to take

24
00:00:55,340 --> 00:00:53,370
press briefings this staging area

25
00:00:58,670 --> 00:00:55,350
actually can be converted with the Dyess

26
00:01:00,139 --> 00:00:58,680
and it turns into a briefing set I also

27
00:01:01,970 --> 00:01:00,149
want to see the cool stuff in here too

28
00:01:04,219 --> 00:01:01,980
well Lori let me show you some really

29
00:01:07,039 --> 00:01:04,229
fascinating technology the green screen

30
00:01:09,859 --> 00:01:07,049
which is known as the chroma key set now

31
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:09,869
this particular technology you may be

32
00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:12,110
familiar with by just watching the news

33
00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:14,670
watching the weather on the news of God

34
00:01:18,679 --> 00:01:16,680
this is how they do that they actually

35
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:18,689
take the green screen put the weatherman

36
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,159
in front of a green screen and then

37
00:01:24,410 --> 00:01:22,080
replace that green screen with a

38
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:24,420
background and it's very common

39
00:01:28,190 --> 00:01:26,310
throughout the media industry what kinds

40
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:28,200
of backgrounds you put here well

41
00:01:32,450 --> 00:01:30,600
sometimes we can put moonscapes for an

42
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:32,460
example and we can also put some of the

43
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:34,770
constellations the COV projects we can

44
00:01:39,649 --> 00:01:37,920
keep all those type of backgrounds and

45
00:01:40,910 --> 00:01:39,659
as long as I'm not wearing green I'll be

46
00:01:41,929 --> 00:01:40,920
all right cuz I would be invisible if I

47
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:41,939
was wearing green you were completely

48
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:44,369
disappear sometimes people would like to

49
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:45,720
hear that but let's go see what else you

50
00:01:48,830 --> 00:01:47,430
have well let's go across the hostage

51
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:48,840
well George now we've moved to quite an

52
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,820
impressive facility lots of TVs and what

53
00:01:54,679 --> 00:01:53,040
looked like VCRs to me what are you

54
00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:54,689
doing this room Laura this is our

55
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:56,729
recording and duplication facility in

56
00:02:01,370 --> 00:01:58,770
this room we record everything from

57
00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:01,380
high-definition 28 millimeter this is

58
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:03,180
the room that we record all the mission

59
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:05,729
highlights during flight as well this is

60
00:02:11,210 --> 00:02:08,399
also the area if a customer requests a

61
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:11,220
playback for example a safety video this

62
00:02:14,970 --> 00:02:13,030
is where that activity will take

63
00:02:16,949 --> 00:02:14,980
place and also if we send service

64
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:16,959
request in for maybe copies of some

65
00:02:20,610 --> 00:02:18,610
program or event this is where you do

66
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:20,620
that too right absolutely if a customer

67
00:02:25,170 --> 00:02:22,810
requires a copy of a video tape or a DVD

68
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,180
this is where that service request is

69
00:02:28,559 --> 00:02:27,040
taken care of this is where you do the

70
00:02:29,940 --> 00:02:28,569
recording but is there a place where you

71
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:29,950
actually edit all this together is that

72
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:31,030
a different room that's our

73
00:02:34,740 --> 00:02:32,830
state-of-the-art edit suites let's go

74
00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:34,750
there now Lori this is a

75
00:02:39,559 --> 00:02:37,180
state-of-the-art production control room

76
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:39,569
in this facility is where we actually

77
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:42,610
produce and switch all of the live

78
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:45,519
programs that we do for closed-circuit

79
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:47,890
television or desktop TV now you say

80
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:49,570
switching what does that mean switchin

81
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:51,610
is a process that goes through this

82
00:02:58,009 --> 00:02:54,610
video mixer and all of the sources are

83
00:03:00,509 --> 00:02:58,019
fed to this video mixer cameras VTR s

84
00:03:02,340 --> 00:03:00,519
computer so forth and so on and the

85
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:02,350
director sits here and punches each

86
00:03:07,229 --> 00:03:04,930
button which puts out a feed to

87
00:03:09,420 --> 00:03:07,239
closed-circuit television for example

88
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:09,430
like the things at the recent crew visit

89
00:03:12,690 --> 00:03:11,110
you saw camera people there and all but

90
00:03:14,009 --> 00:03:12,700
there's someone sitting here punching at

91
00:03:15,780 --> 00:03:14,019
which camera they want right right

92
00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:15,790
there's a director in this room and

93
00:03:19,259 --> 00:03:17,320
there's a producer in this room there's

94
00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:19,269
camera operators and more sort of

95
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:20,620
touring then there's also a floor

96
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:22,630
manager and when you mix all of those

97
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:25,329
sources together the director punches

98
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:27,970
the button and sends it out and you also

99
00:03:32,250 --> 00:03:29,920
have to put all that together then right

100
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,260
Lori we use state-of-the-art production

assembly phase of the product and this

105
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:44,410
