Upgrades to the TV Production Program!  Exciting Times Ahead...
We are in an exciting time in TV Production. The program has upgraded the control room and editing this summer. For editing, we have decided to stick with the AVID editing line. Either though Final Cut is making a name for themselves in the film and television industry, AVID is still industry accepted editing system for computer based non-linear editing. Also, Avid Media Composer can be purchased with academic pricing which allows our students to also have the software at home for a modest price. Our control room is getting an overhaul in preparation for HD in the future. We are upgrading our 18 year old switcher for the Broadcaster Pix 1000G system. This will allow us to have professional transition, graphics and video clip playback in one unit. It also provides us the opportunity to do more things with virtual sets. There will be a learning curve, but the benefits attached to this upgrade should have a major impact for the program.
