Facilities

TV Studio & Control Room
La Salle's 1600 sq. foot TV studio is the heart of the building's production facilities and the home of our student-produced shows on La Salle 56, the University's educational-access cable station. The studio is large enough for a full-sized show set and features Century-Strand and Videssence studio lighting instruments. It can be configured for up to 6 cameras (3 of which have teleprompters), and an overhead "sky cam."
The control room features an ECHOlab 12-input studio switcher which controls the cameras, 2 S-VHS tape decks, 2 mini-DV decks, a character generator, a digital video effects unit, and an electronic still store generator. Sound is handled with a Ramsa 24-channel mixing console. Controls for lighting, teleprompters, and waveform/vectorscopes complete the list of high-tech toys in the control room.

Audio Studio
Our audio studio features a 24-input Ramsa audio board which can mix between mics, CDs, cassettes, and a reel-to-reel. You can then record onto reel-to-reel, cassette, or DAT (Digital Audio Tape).
The room also features a SAW Plus digital audio workstation. Once you load your music or voice into the computer's hard drive, you can drag and drop, cut and paste, copy, and delete--it's like word processing for audio.
All of our audio production classes meet here since the control room is large enough for a regular-sized class to learn the latest in audio technology.

Audio Production Suite
This suite contains an audio console which can mix between microphones, a cassette player, CD player, and a reel-to-reel using a 16-input Mackie audio board. You can then record to cassette, DAT, or reel-to-reel.
This room also contains a SAW Plus digital audio workstation. Once you load your music or voice into the computer's hard drive, you can drag and drop, cut and paste, copy and delete--it's word processing for audio.
The room is linked to our audio studio down the hall and serves as a "remote" location for our audio classes

Video Editing
Our Video Editing suite has several edit bays located side-by-side. The first system is a DPS Perception Non-Linear editing system. The second is an S-VHS/VHS Panasonic cuts-only editing system. The suite also contains an audio mixing system so you can lay your music or sound effects directly onto S-VHS or VHS tape.

Screening Room 100
The screening room is all about film. Comfortable seats, a 9 x 12 ft. screen, and theater surround sound make the screening room the perfect setting for the viewing and analysis of films of all genres. La Salle has a large collection of films from every decade on VHS, laserdisc, and DVD. All film courses, such as Film as Art, Film Seminar, etc., meet here.

Smart Room 106
This room features approximately 30 computer workstations for use by Com majors in writing, journalism, and other writing-based Communication classes. This new "Smartroom" now makes life a lot easier for the weary Com major who, up until now, had to travel up to Main Campus to use computer labs there.
