IDENTIFIED PROBLEM AREAS
IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON EQUIPMENT.
POWER REQUIREMENT OF THE INFOTHELA WOULD CHANGE
ONCE THE DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT IS PURCHASED.
FOR MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATIONS,GRAPHICS AND ANIMATIONS
TAKE TOO MUCH TIME TO DEVELOP AND
WITH THE LIMITED MANPOWER AVAILABLE IT IS BECOMING
DIFFICULT TO MEET SCHEDULES.
COULD WE CONSIDER MAKING SHORT VIDEO FILMS?
AUDIO RECORDING AT THE TVC HAS NOT BEEN OF THE
EXPECTED QUALITY. THEY CANNOT PROVIDE THE FACILITY AT
THE PACE THAT WE NEED.
WE NEED TO CREATE A SMALL FACILITY OF OUR OWN.
