The studios have been newly upgraded to include some of the latest lighting and camera technologies, bringing the facilities up to full multi-camera and HD spec.
The University offers qualifications with some of the UK's leading media orientated courses, and the studios are used for full programme making and a variety of other associated functions. They are run by the University's Media, Humanities & Technology Faculty, and overseen day-to-day by studio engineer and technical specialist, Steve Judge who also teaches the practical and technical elements of courses to students using the facilities.
The Jands Vista consoles, a T2 and an I3, were supplied to the University by Jands exclusive UK dealer A.C. Entertainment Technologies Ltd (AC-ET).
The T2 console is located in the larger of the studios with the I3 in the smaller, both controlling a mix of generics, and the new LED fixtures.
