This semester we are happy to announce some new equipment in the Media Center. Stop by and check this out. New equipment available for loan:

Studio 1 also gets a significant upgrade in terms of recording quality and functionality. We’ve replaced the Firewire audio interface with the RME Fireface 800. Additionally to work with Logic Pro, we’ve added a control surface, Mackie’s Control Universal Pro.  With these advancements in recording quality and functionality, Studio1 has become a lot more complicated to use, a little more exclusive. We will therefore limit use of the space to patrons who have been oriented to the space, equipment and recording features.

gs500.jpgWe just got some new cameras in today. These cameras increase our general inventory and replace some of our older ones that have seen almost 2 years of use and hundreds of loans. This gets us through the rest of the semester.  We replaced our panasonic cameras with the same model (Panasonic PVGS500 3 chip MiniDV cameras) and added two new smaller MiniDV cameras (Canon ZR800’s).

To keep the cameras available for the record number of classes completing video projects, our cameras are only available to students working on a project for a class.
