Media Services has camcorders available for checkout. All models are simple to use and save the video to a memory card, we also have tripods available for checkout. All models function roughly the same way.
To operate:
- Turn on power
- Open LCD screen on side of camcorder to use as viewfinder
- Press record button to start recording and press same button to stop recording
- The zoom function is located on the top of most of our cameras
- DXG models, the zoom is located on the back and is a round dial with T and W markings
If you would like further instruction on how to operate, we can arrange for someone to show you the features of the camera when you come to pick up the checkout.
Also we have other video recording options available such as our Mediasite recorder. We have a recorder that is in place in Scovill 212. Mediasite enables users capture, transform, manage, and deliver video, it also allows users to manage security of content and allow permissions to viewers. Once video is captured on a Mediasite recorder it can be uploaded and accessed on the Mediasite server. Another feature of Mediasite is that it offers analytics information so users are able to see who is viewing their content. For more information on this tool, please see the Mediasite tab in this toolkit.
