TLTC Showcases University Center's Multimedia Production Capabilities

The Teaching, Learning, and Technology Center's (TLTC) Digital Media Team recently showcased the state-of-the-art capabilities of the University Center (UC) Studio through a live broadcast demonstration. The presentation, titled "Unlocking Creative Potential," was led by Christopher Petruzzi, the manager of user interface and multimedia design. It explored how the Adobe Creative Suite facilitates the integration of design principles to enhance both professional and personal projects in web, video, and graphic design. Utilizing the advanced technologies available in the UC Studio, the seminar-style "TED" talk featured a single-speaker focus, high-quality visuals, and professional audio and video production, creating a dynamic and engaging presentation that effectively illustrated university projects leveraging Adobe tools to foster creativity.

The demonstration highlighted the technological potential for diverse productions and live events, serving as an open invitation to the Seton Hall community to explore how to leverage this innovative space for cutting-edge presentations. The production displayed the Digital Media Team's expertise in utilizing advanced technologies to achieve a seamless, professional-quality broadcast.

Key technologies used included:

• Tricaster TC-1: A broadcast-quality control surface for live switching, enabling dynamic changes between multiple camera angles, lower thirds, and picture-in-picture (PiP) views.
• NDI Network Video: Network-based video transmission for crystal-clear footage, integrating cameras and presentation slides directly into the live switcher.
• DANTE Audio Networking: A system routing all audio through the network to the studio board, ensuring high-quality sound.
• Sony SRG-A40 4K PTZ Camera: AI-driven facial recognition technology for automatic tracking of movements across the stage.
• Confidence Monitor: A screen allowing speakers to view their slides directly from the stage, facilitating a dynamic presentation style.

"Maximizing the space to its full capacity was a great exercise for our department," said Petruzzi. "The Digital Media Team utilized the full range of technology available in both the Theatre Space and our state-of-the-art studio, creating a seamless and professional production. Access to these advanced tools and resources can revolutionize how members of the Seton Hall community deliver their lectures and presentations, significantly enhancing the impact of their work."

The TLTC is committed to supporting the Seton Hall community in creating high-quality, impactful applications of digital media that can be shared both within the university and beyond. As such, the Digital Media Team and TLTC are eager to assist others in the community who wish to showcase their work through similar "TED"-style talks. These presentations provide an excellent platform for sharing knowledge, inspiring others, and enhancing the visibility of individual and group projects. Anyone interested in exploring this opportunity is encouraged to reach out to Christopher Petruzzi.
