Our state of the art facility can deliver "network studio quality" video broadcasts to local television stations, major networks, satellite and international channels. We can presently provide studio quality video from the broadcast studio or Triad facility in Building 9, Kresge Auditorium or Room 10-250.

MIT Cable hooks up to the groups providing webcasts and videoconferences, and extends their range to the entire campus.
