Digital Media Studio
The Founders Library Digital Media Studio is available for use by NIU students, faculty, academic employees and staff for developing a variety of digital instructional media for teaching and presenting. Our One Button Video and Lightboard studios offer automated video recording solutions with an intuitive interface and minimal production time.
One Button Video Studio
The One Button Video Studio is a simplified, automated video recording solution for recording short studio style lectures, practicing or pre-recording conference presentations or speeches, recording in front of a green screen, or recording an in-person interview. The studio is designed to run with minimal staff support and minimal configuration, and requires no prior experience with lighting, sound, or video production. With the One Button Video Studio, you can also integrate PowerPoint slides and a variety of custom or pre-defined graphic materials.
Lightboard Studio
The Lightboard studio is an automated video recording solution that uses a pane of glass between the presenter and the camera, special markers, lighting, and software to allow you to write or draw content on the glass while facing the camera. The studio is designed for unattended self-service recording. The Lightboard Control Center also allows you to share and interact with overlaid images and/or videos. The Lightboard studio can be used to create recorded videos to share in courses, online or in live meetings via Teams, Collaborate or Zoom.
