Virtual Tour
| Our facilities are on the ground floor of the Richard Hagemeyer Learning Resources Center (LRC), located on CPCC's Central Campus. The elevation shown at right is the LRC (building "LR/PE/LX" on the Central Campus map) as viewed from Elizabeth Avenue. |  |
 | Entrances to our area are via the lobby of the Pease Auditorium, and directly below (left) the main library entrance, which faces the campus quad. Enter the Visitors Parking area (Lot "9" on the Central Campus map) from inbound Elizabeth Ave. or outbound Kings Drive. The lot requires $3 to exit. |
| Most visitors come to our area due to our ability to connect "live" to classrooms and meeting rooms across the state and around the world via our videoconferencing and teleconferencing facility, which is unique among CPCC's campuses. For more information about this service, see videoconferenceing. |  |
 | Videographers Robert Comfort (standing) and Russ Hunsinger set up one of the two Beta SX field cameras on the stage of the College's soon-to-be-opened Halton Theatre. The taping is for an edition of "Charlotte Arts", one of seven ongoing interview program series currently in production. |
| This edition of "Charlotte Arts" provided the public their first glimpse of the theatre's interior, which is an opera hall-style room with a seating capacity of 1,056. Producer/director Ilie Agopian (center) prepares then-theatre Director Kim Renz (seated), to be interviewed by show host, Rob Craig, CPCC Communications instructor. |  |
 | "CPCC Snapshot" is another in a long string of series that have been produced in our studio, located beside the Pease Auditorium. Station Broadcast Manager David Rhew produces this program. His guests provide their insights into College programs and services. |
| Professional equipment, skilled operators, teamwork and constant attention to detail are key components in insuring the technical quality of any video production. At right, Doug Sweet, Senior Production Specialist, provides floor direction. |  |
 | Videographer Robert Comfort acts as director during this same studio production. The Grass Valley 200-N production switcher is the technical heart of the system, providing the director multiple sources which can be switched or mixed to create professional looking productions. |
| Several roles are required to properly staff a studio production. Videographer John Branscom (right) runs the audio board (Mackie 32-8) in the studio control room. |  |
 | Post-production for both field and studio productions takes place in one of five edit suites equipped with Avid non linear editing (NLE) workstations. Doug Sweet selects shots from a studio taping of "CPCC Snapshot". The workstations are linked to a storage area network (SAN) for shared access to a limited number of video and graphics files. |
| Finished projects are archived on Beta SX, and formatted as a single project for ingestion and distribution by the station Operations and Master Control Center. There the program will be recorded onto DVD, ingested into the broadcast server, duplicated onto DVD for hand-to-hand distribution, sent digitally to appropriate College and external servers. At right, Master Control Operator Clay Dunn assigns identifying information for each program and prepares it for playout on the station's automated broadcast server system. |  |
