| Graphics Lab Workstations | ||
|
The labs include 38 state-of-the-art Macintosh computers with large displays, kept current with up-to-date software (such as Adobe's Creative Suite, Apple's Final Cut, and Macromedia's Flash and Dreamweaver) spread throughout 3 working areas. One room incorporates 21 stations, which when using the unique screen sharing software, offer an efficient and dynamic classroom environment for learning software techniques. All of the stations include CD/DVD-R burners for data, audio, and/or video, as well as FireWire and USB connections for digital cameras, camcorders, and other equipment. Most of the workstations are equipped with high-end photo-quality scanners. | |

There are multiple portable hard drives (the MicroNet SanCube is shown at left) that production students can use for short term storage of audio and video data. Users sign-out the drives and cables and use them on whichever station they're working. | |

The JVC SRVS30U MiniDV/S-VHS Dual Dubbing Hi-Fi Stereo Recorder is a video tape recorder that can be controlled from the computers to send and receive digital video via the FireWire connection. It can also dub to and from VHS and miniDV tapes. | |
