Swagit Productions, LLC was the chosen vendor to provide Addison a unique solution for a challenging problem. Addison faced three key problems; 1) the town did not have the staff resources to operate broadcasting and streaming equipment, 2) the town doesn't have a PEG or any other broadcasting station, and 3) the town wanted a complete hands-free end-to-end solution for displaying town meetings online.

Swagit's solution for the town provides complete hands-free remote operation of a multiple camera broadcast system, including a video switcher and audio mixer. In addition to the remote broadcast system and with the inclusion of Swagit's Extensible Automated Streaming Engine (EASE), Swagit is able to control, broadcast and stream town meetings without the need for any Addison staff. It is all done from Swagit's headquarters in Plano, Texas.

Addison citizens expect the best and latest technology on their town's website. Adding the on-demand feature will improve citizens' accessibility to videos of town council and planning commission meetings and improve access to agenda information for these public meetings.

Town council meetings, which are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month beginning at 7:30 p.m., will be viewable beginning in June. In addition, archived meetings will be searchable by on-demand and agenda items, which will enable residents, and interested people throughout the world, to view specific agenda items of interest.
