Equipment, editing suites, and the television studio may be scheduled by stopping by the Media Center main office in Lyons Hall 414.
Videotaping
The Media Center provides personnel and equipment for the videotaping of on campus events. In order to ensure that personnel and equipment are available, requests for taping should be made no later than forty-eight hours in advance of the requested time. The Media Center cannot guarantee service without sufficient notice.
Permission must be granted by the guest speaker to be taped. Contact Dan Drew (ext. 2569) to obtain a release form for the speaker to sign, as well as to discuss any other needs for the recording of your event (multiple camera setup, editing, DVD authoring, cost of service, etc.). The release form can also be downloaded by clicking here (PDF).
In addition to making arrangements with the Media Center, the Office of Event Services (ext. 2180) needs to be informed of the request as well. Either notify them while scheduling your event or contact them after you have consulted with the Media Center.
Video ConferencingAnchor Video Conferencing Video Conferencing
The Media Center has two Polycom HDX 7000 point-to-point videoconferencing systems. Each system is comprised of an HD codec, EagleEye HD camera, and Polycom HDX microphone. They can be connected for display on installed projectors or used with one of our mobile LCD TV carts. The Polycom HDX 7000 also has the capability of having a computer or document camera connected to the system (via the DVI port). This allows for the sharing of video and audio content from these devices to the participants on the far end during a conference.
These mobile systems can be setup in various locations on campus to facilitate distance learning, guest lecturers, meetings, and interviews. Call Dan Drew (ext. 2569) at the Media Center for additional information or to schedule a video conference.
