Technology and Media Production
What we do:
The Technology & Media Production department is responsible for technology services throughout Eastman, including:
- Computing
- Web
- Educational/multimedia labs
- Recording (Degree Recitals/Ensembles/Individual Recording Sessions)
- Live streaming of degree recitals (per request by student)
- AV
- Video production
- Distance learning
We provide support, advice, and training for day-to-day operations for faculty, students and administration, including IT and AV infrastructure, desktop support, online content, individual and ensemble recording and filming, multimedia events, video-conferencing and public workspaces.
We also provide research and training for the strategic use of technology to support Eastman’s artistic and educational objectives.
What you will find on our pages:
The T&MP web site features pages that the Eastman Community can use to:
- read more about our services- request recording and AV services
- learn how to use AV equipment
- find answers to questions in tutorials and FAQs
- hear about future events, new developments and research in progress.
The aim is to provide an interactive and user-friendly web site that will continue to grow and evolve along with Eastman’s use of technology, so all feedback is actively encouraged and will be gratefully received.
