Media Facilities: Design and Management

Forestry Media Center Video Edit Bay

The Forestry Media Center

Our office is not only home to FMC personnel, but also includes facilities for digital media production, audiovisual equipment checkout and storage, and distribution of learning materials. The FMC digital edit bay provides state-of-the-art professional video editing using HDDV, DV, DVCPRO, or Betacam SP formats. In addition, the FMC has workstations dedicated to bulk slide scanning and flatbed scanning, and CD-ROM/DVD duplication.

The FMC is responsible for all College of Forestry audiovisual equipment equipment, training, and management, including projection, video/DVD playback, and distance education and videoconferencing facilities within Peavy and Richardson Hall classrooms. This charge has included the design, maintenance, operation, and training associated with a number of unique facilities within the College.

The Starker Family Continuing and Distance Education Room

Contact the CoF Extension Office to reserve this room: 737-1727.

This facility, Richardson 107, was designed by FMC staff to provide full support for the electronic dissemination of forestry and natural resource distance education courses, lectures, and other events.

Peavy 254A, the Conference Room, is a reservable room, and provides a professional “boardroom” environment for students to rehearse and develop presentation skills using digital and audiovisual tools.

The Duffie Digital Video Lab

With generous gifts from Mr. Cornelius Duffie, the FMC was able to design and equip this facility, in Peavy 030 C & D, to provide students and staff access to digital non-linear video editing systems. It has proven to be an integral part of developing new media skills in forestry and natural resources students, particularly in conjunction with our FOR391 "Natural Resource Communications" course.
