Control Room E is our first completely digital room and is one of the largest digital audio networks in the US. The control room was designed by renown studio designer Lawrence Swist and was listed among Mix Magazine’s ‘Hottest New Studios’ in 2011. The room features a Euphonix System 5 production console and custom monitoring designed by Swist and partner, Mick Guzauski. The room can function as a typical audio production control room or as the hub of video conferencing or distance learning events.

Use MediaOcean-II for now

ESM Lab Staff — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:54:14 +0000

Hi folks!

All students wishing to access MediaOcean will temporarily need to access MediaOcean-II instead. You may be wondering if your files in MediaOcean will be stored deep in the depths and unattainable in MediaOcean-II, but not to worry! Everything has been moved over to MediaOcean-II, so just follow these simple steps and you’ll be on your way.

1. Click the desktop to make sure you are in Finder.

2. Click Go, scroll down and click Connect to Server

3. It will ask for a Server Address. Erase the address and type in “lightstation.local.”

4. Login as Guest

Congratulations, you are now in MediaOcean-II!

Network Down This Thursday! 7 AM – 7:30 AM

ESM Lab Staff — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 06:42:59 +0000

The network will be down in the ESM Media Lab on Thursday, October 4th from7 AM to 7:30 AM. This means no internet access or printing capabilities. We’ve posted a sign outside notifying students; hopefully they’ll read it so that we can avoid the situation depicted below.

Media Ocean

ESM Lab Staff — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 20:32:59 +0000

MediaOcean is a place for Eastman students and faculty members to save their audio, visual, and large project files so that they can access them anytime from any computer on the Eastman campus (here is a Mac tutorial on how to access it). It is strongly recommended that people back up all of the files that they have saved to MediaOcean, because at the end of each semester, everything will be removed. Many students have come to us weeks after the end of a semester asking about the whereabouts of their files, only to find out that their hard work has been destroyed forever! Please don’t make the same mistake!

Again, unlike a real ocean, MediaOcean vaporizes at the end of every semester. This means your files will be permanently destroyed, forever lost to the wind…

Instructors: Changing the Title of your Course in Blackboard 9.1

Nigel Waters — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:01:51 +0000

For some reason you may find that the name of your course is not to your liking. Or even worse, your course was created without a real title at all (this can happen if the course was created before the title of the course was officially added). What do you do? Please follow the steps below:

1.) Go to Control Panel > Customization > Properties

2.) Under 1. Name and Description change the name of your course.

3.) Click Submit

Did that work for you? If so, here is a PDF* version for good measure. If not, please let me know.

*You will be asked to sign in with your Blackboard username and password before downloading.

Incoming Students: Accessing Blackboard

Nigel Waters — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 05:13:44 +0000

Summer is here! That brings not only warm weather, verdant vegetation and delicious backyard barbecues, but also confusion regarding how to gain access to Blackboard for some of our incoming students in both Summer and Fall semesters. Usually the problem is similar to scenarios described below:

An incoming student needs to acquire a NetID but the student does not know where to find his/her Student ID to begin the Initialization process.
The student knows their Student ID, but their NetID is not letting them login to Blackboard.

The NetID of a new student must be initialized before it can be used to access Blackboard. Of course, you need to know your Student ID in order to begin the initialization process. The following steps should help resolve either of the above mysteries of our time:

1.) http://www.rochester.edu/its/netid/

click “University Account Initialization” (https://myidentity.rochester.edu/newuser)
- If you know your Student ID, continue with the initialization process. If not, see Step 2 below.

2.) Click the link “What is my Student ID?” (http://www.rochester.edu/its/netid/studentid.html)

For Eastman Students: Your Student ID number is printed on your Final Decision Form (admissions paperwork).

If you are still having issues, please do not hesitate to contact bb@esm.rochester.edu.
