The success of those that utilize our facilities is a measure of the success of the staff of the DuMont Center. Considering the age and volume of use of the center's equipment it is an extraordinary feat to do this without failure. Our prime function is to supply facilities and equipment for the classes that use our center as a laboratory and all other video production activities. To do this we design, install and maintain the facilities of the Television Center. The Staff of the Center also interacts with students and faculty to assist in proper set up and use of the facilities in the Center.
Assistance is always available in the set up and the studios and portable equipment.
This assistance is not only available to academic classes but also for general production and for special projects. The staff also conducts Craft workshops on specific technical skills to small groups of Broadcasting majors. Maintenance and repair of this facility includes two television production studio's with control rooms, two editing suites, two cut only editors, two telecines, a video duplication rack, and audio studio and control room, a satellite receiver and head end, and a variety of portable equipment. This includes many monitors, broadcast quality video recorders, camcorders and associated gear. We also maintain and repair the equipment associated with distance education.
