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
(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.
