School Video Student Package

Have you ever thought about producing a video broadcast on your campus?

In today’s media-rich environment, many school administrators are interested in starting a video channel of their own, but are not sure where to start. They know it is not that hard to put a video together, or to upload one and share it with friends and family, but they don’t have time to research how to put together a video broadcast studio on their campus. This is where I can help.

Features

Chroma Key – Commonly known as green screen, with this technology, students can appear to be anywhere.

Inexpensive start up costs – While installing an on-campus cable system can cost tens of thousands of dollars, patching into an existing cable system is fairly inexpensive. Alternatively going with a web-based solution is also friendly on the budget.

Flexibility – Studio can have a chroma key (green screen) background, a school-themed background, a standard photo studio muslin background or some combination thereof.

Teleprompter – Student news anchors have to deliver a lot of information accurately. Make their job easier by adding the teleprompter option. Available for Chromebook or iPad solutions.

Facilitated learning curve – Tech-savvy teachers can begin using the system after just a few hours of training. We also offer training packages to help eager but less technically experienced teachers who have the vision for a campus video channel, but are still working at gaining the technical expertise to realize that dream.

Live Editing:

 

Basic Studio: powered by OBS, an open-source switching/encoding app similar to Wirecast software. OBS is the only Youtube endorsed open-source encoder allowing students to video capture, live-edit, encode, record, and stream your campus broadcast.

 

The Deluxe Studio incorporates a Blackmagic Design ATEM switcher.

 

The Advanced Studio extends the use of the Blackmagic Design ATEM switcher adding additional cameras and student production team workflows.

Broadcast System Options: Cable or Internet

For schools that already have cable systems in place, there are some inexpensive methods to tap into that system and begin broadcasting in real-time to every connected monitor. Most schools do not have the cable option, for them using a free or paid Internet-based solution is a great alternative.

How much does it cost?

Equipment Costs – The basic equipment package fluctuates with the market and starts at a little over $3,600. We take care of ordering and delivery and yes, we do take purchase orders.

If a district wants to make a bulk purchase triggering a bid, Rosa Media Productions provides a detailed list of equipment and works with the purchasing department so the schools can take advantage of educational discounts when possible.

How Will My Staff Learn How to Use it?

Training Packages:

We offer three levels of training for schools to implement an on-campus video  broadcast studio:

Basic Studio Training

This is a half day crash course on how to use the studio gear. This training is most successful for the enthusiastic teacher with a fairly solid “techie” background.

Full Studio Training

This full day training allows more time for repetition, hands-on practice, and getting started using the gear on authentic studio work. Ideal for the non-techie teacher/team who needs a longer runway to get off the ground with their skills.

Advanced Studio Training + Coaching

This training package couples the full day studio training with up to five coaching/support calls during the first 3 months of studio use. Perfect for teachers who need a little more support as they get their live production video broadcast studio rolling like clockwork.
