Media Lab: About Equipment & Workstations

Equipment in the Media Lab has various checkout options with circulating technology and in-Lab technology. With a large variety of hardware available, specific information on each piece is included on the reservation page for each item and/or as a subset of this page. All available user manuals and startup videos have been added to the item pages.

Workstation

These stations are ideal for working on still image based projects like photo editing or creating infographics, website design, or simple video editing projects.

Workstation – Dual Monitor

These stations can handle more intense projects with ease. Create 3D graphics, edit 4K video, and add visual effects to your greenscreen videos. The second monitor also makes these stations great for projects that benefit from having more space to work with on screen.

Recording Studio

Groups of up to four can work in this space on audio and video projects. This room includes a microphone and acoustic tiling on the walls, so you can record voiceovers and podcasts.

Sound Booth

Record, edit, and mix audio in our isolation booth. This booth, while not completely soundproof, blocks out external sounds to give you a clean recording. Record podcasts, video voiceovers, and more with our professional microphones and audio interface. You can also check out a MIDI keyboard to compose your own music.

Film Production Studio

Shoot your own videos or photos in our studio space. Bring your own equipment or use our camera, lights, and greenscreen backdrop to create high quality video right inside the Media Lab. This space has a capacity of six. Note: to use Media Lab equipment in the Studio, you must book at least 24-hours in advance to allow staff time for setup. Walk-in appointments are welcome if you want to use your own equipment.
