HD Video Production Studio

 

Positioned atop a sophisticated anti-vibration system, and acoustically treated to prevent standing waves and acoustic interference, the MMC-Panasonic HD video production studio is a “floating” facility designed to eliminate all structure-borne and other types of vibration and noise. The result has been the creation of a soundproofed and acoustically precise venue that ensures the presentation and recording of only the highest quality video content.

 

Featuring Panasonic’s state-of-the-art, high definition video production technology, the studio is equipped with five (5) HD cameras – two of which are configured with teleprompter and talent monitor, and one which is robotically-controlled and mounted in an aerial position from one of two locations on the lighting grid above. The studio also features a 15’ x 12’ green screen, a full assortment of studio set lighting fixtures, on-set plasma screen TV monitors, a versatile backdrop for set configuration and a mixed configuration of set furniture options.

 

The Control Room (and its associated Equipment Room) is configured to support the needs of a production project of any size or video format. A truly digital production environment, the studio supports 720p and 1080i high definition capture, as well as standard definition requiring a 4:3 aspect ratio. When fully staffed, the Control Room provides a station for the Producer, Line Producer, Director, Technical Director, Assistant Director, Lighting Director, Graphics/Still Store Operator, Teleprompter Operator, Audio Technician, Camera Shader, and Tape Operator.
