The operator Console

Here is the Operator Console for the Internet Campus:

• 1. We use a MacBook as Character Generator, running power point with a slide with black background to run the lower third.

• 2. The MacBook is connected with a video composit adapter from Apple to the Video Switcher (4)

• 3. We have a Video Input selector to choose from Live Camera on Studio or another live camera out of the studio.

• 4. We use an Edirol V-4 Video mixer to combine the main auditorium, the Internet Campus Studio, CG, DVD's or any other source.

• 5. A preview Monitor is always required to monitor what's going on.

• 6. A 16 Channel Yamaha Audio Mixer is used to receive the Audio from the Main Audio Console, also to manipulate and control audio from studio, DVD, MP3 Player and so fot.

• 7. A DVD Player (DVD-X) is used to have a video loop running while we are not transmitting live.

• 8. A second DVD Player (DVD-Y) is used to play auxiliar videos or any other required signal.

• 9. An LTO tube pre-amp for the Studio Microphone is used to get a better audio quality. Belive it or not, there is no solid state pre amp that can replace a tube one... at least up to this day.
