Wingate University Television is located......in Austin Auditorium. There is ample room in Austin for a classroom, a control room, four editing bays, a playback room, and office space. The studio is equipped with three television cameras, a teleprompter, and various monitors and audio equipment, including wireless microphones. The edit/control center allows directors and editors to view the input of the studio cameras, as well as that of the editing decks. Using the VT4 (Video Toaster 4) we can switch between live camera feeds and pre-taped segments. The final product is then recorded digitally and aired on Time Warner Cable Channel 22. All our programs are archived on DVD, making it easy for students to create "video samplers" of their work. The editing system is capable of handling DVD, VHS, SVHS, mini-DV, DVCPro, and Hi-8 formats. We currently use the non-linear systems of Casablanca Avio, VT4, and Avid. WUTV has Adobe After-Effects, Ultra 2, Lightwave, and Sound Forge 7 integrated into our system. |
