From a notice posted by Social Security indicating the agency's intention to purchase a particular brand of video camera:
The Agency plans to award a commercial item Purchase Order for the purchase of one (1) Tiffen Steadicam Ultra 2 System, Model Number U2MZHORH8CPSG7.I thought money was tight at Social Security, but, I guess there is always money available for "more fluid visual imagery."
The Steadicam Ultra System is necessary for SSA to continue a high quality of broadcasting and to prepare for the migration that is occurring as commercial and public broadcasting in the United States move to High Definition Television (HDTV). SSA is seeking to invest in technology upgrades that can support current work, while assuring a seamless move into HDTV when the time comes.
The purchase of a Steadicam system will provide a more fluid visual imagery for its recipients. The Steadicam system is a camera support system that will be worn by the camera operator, and will replace the traditional floor-standing fixed tripod or heavy dolly used in the past. This allows the camera operator to carry a full camera rig with excellent mobility and image steadiness, enabling shots that were difficult or impossible with older camera support technology.

If you havent heard this before most of SSA's training is done via IVT, which comes in many formats such as live tv broadcast on internal channels, recorded, or on video on demand. Most offices are not close to a regional training center which means the bulk of the learning takes place by reading and watching these videos. though I tend to agree that all the IVT studios have all the fancy stuff such as big flat screen tv's etc...but it has more to do with thier use as a training mechanism.
Yeah, but broadcasting is going all digital in 2009 not all HDTV. Don't think I want to see Linda McMahon in HD. LOL
