Studio Equipment.

Grid - A set of pipes suspended from the ceiling which holds lights and sometimes other equipment such as microphones. The college studio grid has 6 sockets and each socket is individually numbered, and therefore individually controlled on the Dimmer Pack.

Dimmer Pack - Where the lights are connected to; generates the high amounts of power needed to operate them.


Studio Terminal Outlet Box (S.T.O.B) - This is where all of the cameras, microphones and additional lighting/sound devices can be connected too. It supplies power to everything that is connected to it.

Microphones - Used to pick up any sound/speech during the recording.

Cameras - In the college studio, there are 4 cameras (Sony Z5s) that are on peds. These are used to capture the vision which is needed to make the show.

Cool Lights (florescent tubes) and Tungstun Lights (spot lights) - Suspended from the grid, they light the studio/set as well as the talent.

DVD Player - Plays any inserts i.e. opening titles, video clips, photos.

Lighting Desk - Controls the light intensity and chooses which lights to use via the dimmer pack.

Sound Desk - Used to adjust the sound levels of the microphones in the studio, preventing distortion from loud sounds/voices.

Vision Mixing Desk - Controls which camera feed to use, and allows director and the vision mixer to see all of the shots being produced by each individual camera.
