Media Production & Large Format Printing

The media production services at the MIS include video production, creating digital images and documents, web page development and large format printing. We provide pedagogical and technical assistance, training R-MC faculty and students on design and development of media materials for teaching and learning. We also offer training on how to use classroom technologies and equipment.

The media production services are for College functions only. Here are the policies and fee schedules. We request patrons observe copyright and fair use guidelines when using our services and equipment.

Video Production

Students and faculty may borrow DV camcorders for teaching and learning activities. A reel-to-reel VHS editing system is located behind the video shelves in the library. Patrons are welcome to use it for making video copies and combining video clips. The MIS staff will help patrons with advanced audio and video editing needs, such as

• mixing audio and video from separate sources,
• adding titles and subtitles to the video,
• preparing audio and videos files for computer and web display,
• creating digital audio and videos in music CD, DVD or video CD (VCD) formats, and
