Video Production FAQ
- What is the difference between a single camera package and a multiple camera package?
- A single camera production is one way to record your session, whether it is a classroom recording, or a faculty presentation taping. In a single camera production, the videographer will follow your lecture, capturing both you and your lecture materials (i.e., PowerPoint’s, chalkboard work or overhead).
A multiple camera production provides the crew with the option to switch between multiple sources; two or more cameras as well as a scan converted computer image. Multiple camera productions can either be remote controlled with a small production crew, or fully operated for large productions such as colloquiums or commencement.
- Why would I use the Studio instead of field production?
- Studio production allows the crew to film in a broadcast recording studio set with the possibility of integrating post-production special effects. A single camera package can be used to record your interview or lecture as a head shot. A multiple camera package allows you to use various participants or material during the recording.
- What is the Media Link and why would I use it?
- The Media Link is MIT’s connection to the outside world, giving you the ability to conduct an interview or discuss your research without leaving the campus. The Media Link offers the capability to connect to various networks such as CNN, ABC, BBC and CBC.

- AMPS provides traditional broadcast-quality videotape editing as well as digital non-linear services. Our editor can take your project and give it a professional, customized edge through the use of digital video effects, audio processing, DVD authoring and more.
- Why would I use videoconferencing?

You will have the capability to host lectures, presentations, special events, or meetings between 10 and 100 people. AMPS will accommodate your needs through the use of our advanced distance education and videoconferencing facilities or a portable system for use in conventional classrooms.
