Self-Service Multimedia Workstations
The self-service media
workstations in Holland 150 include equipment
for duplicating, creating, and editing in a variety of media.
Use of the media equipment is free of charge on a first come, first
served basis. Academic Media Services
is open 7:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday-Friday, except on university holidays.
Staff and other help resources are available during these times.
Video Duplication Capabilities and Resources
Users are expected to respect copyright by duplicating only videos for which
they have copyright or permission to copy.
All video duplication equipment
runs in real time; in other words, a 30-minute video will take 30 minutes to
copy. The following formats can be
accommodated for self-service video duplication:
|
•SVHS
|
•Hi 8
|
|
•VHSC
|
•Mini DV
|

Videotape Formats of other Countries
Users traveling to another
country, if they hope to use videotape players available there, may need to
convert their videotapes to the format typically used in that country. (The
alternative would be to take a videotape player along.)
Below is a list of the dominant videotape formats in many countries.
Equipment is available in the media laboratory to support these
conversions.
