    Studios A & B

    Need a studio? Why not choose from our spacious 2,500 square foot Studio A or our right-sized 1,225 square foot Studio B? Each area is fully-equipped with lights, cameras, teleprompters; can include pre-built or custom sets, and features our excellent engineering team.

    Need to chroma key? We've got that, and a lot more. Our studio control room has a broadcast-quality digital production switcher, character generator, and professional video monitoring. There's even a unique viewing gallery overlooking both studios, in case you're bringing a small audience of stakeholders or participants—or if you want to supervise both studios at once!

    Satellite Uplink

    Need an on-location satellite feed? Our broadcasters go where the action is to capture that live speech, news story, or sports event. Our fully-redundant Ku-band uplink truck bounces digital signals from anywhere we can drive to anywhere else on the planet, including your station (or our facility) for live taping or redistribution.

    Our 4.5 meter dish has better-than-average reception in case you also need on-site downlink capabilities. Our truck is available on weekends and outside normal office hours; but to schedule a remote event, please contact Robert F. Nelson between 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

    For production in the field, our hybrid remote production truck is ready to go where you need it. The mobile production unit has everything needed to shoot, edit, generate titles, ensure good audio, and monitor and switch between multiple camera feeds. Our skilled crew ensures a smooth experience, capturing what you need at pro quality.

    For full service location shooting and live broadcasting, you can schedule both the remote production truck and the satellite uplink service together. To plan your event, contact Robert Nelson during regular business hours. Actual remote production can actually occur at any time, including evenings and weekends; but you must schedule in advance.

    Our Electronic Classroom Studio is perfect for teaching, taping, broadcasting, or teleconferencing within a classroom setting. The room seats up to 22 participants and can communicate with up to 3 simultaneous remote sites without going through an external “bridge”. The classroom includes its own sound-proof control room, making it easy to observe and direct camera movement without interfering with the lesson.

    For live teleconferences involving more than 3 locations, we offer affordable multipoint services in close collaboration with Telenet, K-State's professional IP communications service.
