Digital Production Labs and Editing Suites
VIDEO & NEW MEDIA DIGITAL CONTENT PRODUCTION & POST-PRODUCTION
DPL 1
This 21-workstation Digital Production Laboratory features a mixture of late model Intel Macintosh computers running with Leopard plus five high-end PC’s running Windows XP. Both hardware sets feature their respective versions of the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat) and the Macromedia MX Suite (Director, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash) and other supporting software. The PC’s run Adobe Premiere while the Mac’s feature Final Cut Pro Studio 2.
DPL 2
This 19-workstation Production Laboratory is dedicated to the first Digital Production course (VM-120). Nineteen Macintosh workstations run the Adobe and Macromedia Suites on OS-X and Apple Final Cut Pro Studio 2.
VEL - Video Editing Lab
The Video Editing Laboratory contains 11 AVID Macintosh workstations augmented by Photoshop, After Effects Production bundle, and DVD Studio Pro authoring software.
EDITING SUITES
Suites A, B and C are equipped with OS X and Macintosh G5’s with AVID Pro and Mojo boards plus Photoshop and After Effects. This makes the editing suites suitable for longer length upper-level projects for advanced students and graduate students.
- Suite D is a new Avid Nitris 3.0 Suite, operating on a high-end Macintosh workstation.
- Suite E is running Avid 2.8 on an Intel PC and has limited High Definition capability.
- Suite F is reserved for advanced students doing complex new media projects requiring extensive memory and other special requirements. Fundamentally the same as the configuration of DPL 1, Suite F does allow student to work over extended periods of time with little interruption.

“Mix B” is a high-end video finishing room and 5.1 Mix-to-Pix Surround Sound room. Both the digital mixing board and ProTools 192 system afford students the possibility of 5.1 mixes with as many as 64 separate tracks.
