The HD Multimedia Studio located in OEC LL2 has recently been upgraded to include several new functions that are useful not only for original educational material/content creators but also for the broader St. Thomas community to produce content in a highly controlled professional media production environment.

In addition to the multi-camera HD production capabilities, recent updates to the OEC multimedia production studio include:

• The most fully integrated high-end media production SMART board on campus
  • 75″ screen
  • Display content and allow for content markup
  • Multi-color markup and highlighting
  • Individual screen capture or integrated into multi-camera production switched content
  • Recorded or live to web broadcast functionality
• Live “Zoom” meetings integrated into the high-end media production facility
  • Take advantage of a highly-controlled production facility with staff support
  • Hold live web meetings with multiple remote participants
  • Record remote presenters
  • Useful for experts or presenters that are not always able to be in-person on location
• “Panopto” multi-session recording capabilities
  • Individually capture SMARTboard as one source and professional cameras as another source
  • Fully utilize Panopto’s capabilities in your course using the studio’s high-end production cameras and gear

You can even view a 360-degree tour of the OEC studio!

These additional features add a whole new dimension to your content creation possibilities!  Stop by any time to the OEC Multimedia Studio located at OEC LL2 or email us at itsstudio@stthomas.edu to reserve a time to get a demonstration of the facility or to schedule a time to meet with studio staff to discuss your next project.
