The UCT TV Studio forms part of the Centre for Film and Media Studies and provides equipment, facilities, technical support, training and production services to students and other UCT and non-UCT clients.
Situated on two levels in the Baxter Theatre Centre, UCT TV Studio offers a 9 x 12m, fully soundproofed, staging area with an overhead lighting grid and adjacent control room. This
control area houses equipment for both High Definition and Standard Definition video recording, with the HD section able to extend studio function by generating virtual studio sets.
Built to BBC specifications, with all-around Hereklith audio-dampening cladding, the space is ideal for practical workshops, small productions and even sound recording.
The adjacent rooms provide facilities for audio and video post-production. The studio also houses a multi-purpose audio and video duplicating area, which allows for format conversion and transfers, e.g., tape to DVD.
