Penn Video Productions

The Penn Video Network in coordination with ISC Networking and Telecommunications has recently formed a video production unit that offers a full range of video related services to schools and departments on campus. If you are working on a project that could benefit from the addition of video, Penn Video Network can assist with:

Production

  • concept development
  • pre-production planning
  • scripting and casting
  • location preparation
  • graphics
  • one or multi-camera recordings
  • editing and presentation preparation

(Or, if you have existing video content and are looking for a way to distribute that content to a broader audience, Penn Video Productions can help).

Distribution

After production, Penn Video Productions can distribute your program material in several forms including videotape, CD-ROM, DVD, cable broadcast over the Penn Video Network and national satellite distribution over the Research Channel. The Research Channel is a consortium of schools and organizations dedicated to using content, content creation, and manipulation processes as a workbench to test materials for our future analog and digital broadcast and on-demand multimedia offerings, thus providing an unusual opportunity to experiment with new methods of distribution and interaction on a global basis. Penn is a founding and active member of Research Channel and currently has content running over Research Channel from the School of Medicine on the Pathology of the Breast see http://researchchannel.com/programs/upenn/BreastPathology.html .

For more information on the Research Channel and how to submit your school or center's programming, see http://researchchannel.com/ or contact Penn Video Productions.

Streaming

One exciting part of Penn Video Network is an in-house streaming video server supported by ISC's Network and Telecommunications Department. The server is intended for campus users and light off-campus use. However, in cases where the audience will be large and predominantly off-campus, hosting with one of several outside streaming companies can be arranged. In addition to Penn Video Network produced programs, campus departments are welcome to bring their previously produced video programs to ISC Networking & Telecommunications for streaming services. Please see www.upenn.edu/video/pvp/streams.html (see list below).

Videoconferencing

Penn Video Productions can also assist with all your videoconferencing needs including Satellite, ISDN, and IP-Based Videoconferencing. See www.upenn.edu/video/pvp/ .
