Who Can Use Video and Engineering Services?
Our primary focus is to support the needs of Kansas State University, but Video and Engineering Services may also support commercial and network clients if determined such products serve the needs of the university. Frequent collaborations with major national programming (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS) and cable news networks (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC) give the major networks ready access to K-State experts, who can appear on television via IP from our studios.
Because some of our clients are new to the world of professional video while others are deeply experienced, we value careful communication and offer tiered solutions to suit varying budgets and needs. In short, we listen. We help. And we act with confidence and clarity.
All Stages of Production
Our producers can shape and shepherd your idea all the way to the audience's TV, from pre-production through final post and broadcast. In pre-production we help you plan and budget, pen scripts, choose camera setups, do casting, erect sets, and advise talent on how to dress for successful green-screen adventures.
We delight in finding approaches that fit your goals, time requirements, and budget. We'll help you choose between multi-camera shoots directed to tape, a flexible approach involving nonlinear editing, or a cost-effective hybrid.
During production we manage lighting, block scenes, and perform all the directorial magic that happens between "Action!" and "That's a wrap!" Our artful crew handles lighting, mic positions, etc., so you can focus on content.
Our post-production team edits video, creates motion graphics, sweetens audio, adds music, and delivers everything in your desired file format in accordance with recognized standards. Our editors are insightful, imaginative, and aligned with your audience. If you have a vision, they'll achieve it. If you're not sure what to say, they know how to elicit ideas and bring lots of experience to the table.
Broadcast / Distribution
If you need to get your product on the air live, K-State's Division of Communications and Marketing provides video delivery services via a variety of IP-delivery standards such as Zoom and we provide streaming services via YouTube Live and Facebook Live.
As the originating studio for KKSU-LP television, we understand the demands of live-to-air, live-to-tape, and electronic field production. Whether creating in the studio or on the scene, we can get your message where it needs to go.
Want polished video on your website or mobile device? We can take you from initial script to final download. Our video credentials ensure that web videos look crisp and load fast. We can also stream your live media or event for large simultaneous Internet audiences.
Engineering
Our expertise spans RF- and IP-delivery systems (television and radio, microwave and fiber links, and IP-based streaming) to production (analog and digital production systems, cameras, character generators, NLE's, intercom systems, and multiple standard- and high-definition video standards). We are dedicated to getting it right the first time, on time. We can also provide maintenance, design, and installation services for your on-campus production facility and its equipment if you're looking for a truly professional partner.
