Media Services Meeting Needs of Faculty and Students
at Yale
Striving to provide faculty and students with opportunities to
utilize media and new technologies in the classroom, Media Services
has been moving forward at an incredible pace and converting many
of their services to digital. Across campus, technology classrooms
are being upgraded to provide faculty with more ways to use multimedia
to enhance their teaching.
Media Services boasts a Video Services department whose broadcast-quality
video capture of Yale's graduation proceedings was utilized by many
of the major broadcast and cable networks. Go to
http://www.yale.edu/opa/news/commencement.html to view the footage.
Services include video capture, video duplication and media conversion,
analog and digital editing, special projects production and consulting.
Media Service's Photography department has increased its digital
imaging capabilities. The acquisition of new cameras, scanners and
a wide-format printer that can produce poster-quality prints adds
to the photo department's wide range of services. Traditional photography
services are offered as well as an increasing number of digital
image services including capture, image media conversion, digital
image tuning and more.
The soon-to-open new Self-Service lab at Media Services has equipment
and space for do-it-yourself conversion of analog, digital and film
media. Plans are underway to add scanning and digital video editing
stations for Yale community use in additional locations around campus.
Classroom Services offers equipment and support for on-campus classes
and special events with delivery coordination, operation and basic
training for media technologies available on campus.
The laptop support services at MS rents new Dell PC and Apple Powerbook
laptop computers. Several IBM PC laptop computers are also available
at no cost to appropriate faculty for classroom use in scheduled
courses. Visit http://www.yale.edu/ms.
