| According to Simon, buildings that jump a generation of technology, from old-fashioned video tape recorders and closed-circuit security cameras to new network based systems that rely on hard drives to store camera footage the way a TiVo stores TV shows, are at a distinct advantage by skipping second generation technology such as DVRs. Long past are the days when audio visual demands were left to somewhat obscure technicians whose primary responsibilities were to insure that a video tape recorder was playing back properly or that an overhead projector was in need of a bulb change, While some of those tasks still exist, today's user has much more to consider. DVRs pack the functionalities of multiple video tape recorders (VTRs) into a single box, giving broadcasters a compelling financial incentive in terms of cost of ownership and maintenance. |
