A.V.
Digital
Media Services (DMS)
is part of the IMSS group and consists of three components: Audio
Visual Services, the Digital Media Center, and the NewMedia Classroom.
DMS works to support,
promote, and enable the use of digital media and interactive technologies
at the Institute and to help the campus community exploit these
rapidly evolving tools, practices, and technologies wherever they
might be of benefit.
It does this in a number of ways:
by providing campus-wide access to a highly skilled staff,
professional-level services, and cutting-edge tools and facilities;
by keeping abreast of important trends and developments connected
with digital media tools,
technologies, and practices and by helping explore and assess their
potential value to the
Institute;
by serving as a frequent and collaborative partner with various
administrative, instructional, and
research groups involving a wide range of NewMedia-related projects
and initiatives;
and by operating a diverse program of digital media classes, workshops,
and demonstration
sessions in our NewMedia Workshop facility
AUDIO VISUAL
SERVICES
Established in 1967, Audio Visual Services (A.V.S.) supports faculty,
students, and staff with audio-visual equipment and professional
services for classroom activities, lectures, seminars, video production,
video conferencing, and special projects. AVS also offers equipment
and systems consultation services to departments or individuals
interested in purchasing equipment. AVS is the primary campus resource
for professionally produced, archival-quality recordings of historical
and other high-value material. AVS is also a key resource for preparing
and enhancing such material for delivery on the web.
DIGITAL
MEDIA CENTER
Established in 1994, the Digital Media Center (DMC)
provides a campus-wide resource for the exploration, creation, and
utilization of digital media and interactive technologies and for
their integration into the fabric of teaching, research, and Institute
communications — both internal and external. The DMC
is a combination consulting center, self-serve multimedia studio,
digital production facility, and technology showcase. The DMC
works extensively with researchers.
NEWMEDIA
CLASSROOM
The NewMedia Classroom is a high-tech facility capable of recording
lectures and conferences with interactive capabilities.
