Freedlander Theatre gets Media Upgrade
dwaldron October 22nd, 2008
Over the summer the Media Services group oversaw the installation of new media equipment in Freedlander Theatre. A new projector screen was installed on the theatre stage. Images are projected onto the screen by a new projector installed behind it. A custom-designed technologically-enhanced podium was added for use on the stage. The podium features a courtesy port to accommodate a laptop computer. It also features a built-in Pixie Pro unit used to control the projector and DVD/VCR unit. A new sound system was also installed in the theatre.
The new equipment provides a more professional environment for presenters and a better experience for the audience. This upgrade was part of a broader OIT initiative to enhance the presentation capabilities of larger campus venues and to enhance media support for campus events.
