Hofstra University Invests in Studio Upgrades to Experiment with 4K Capabilities

Hofstra University upgraded its production studios to have an HD backbone, and invested in 8 new broadcast cameras to experiment with 4K capabilities.

Even though instructors bet on the new infrastructure and cameras to bring big benefits to pedagogy, some hiccups are expected as well.

Hillebrand says some video production classes will have to rethink how they approach shooting film with these cameras.

“It’s going to lead the faulty and the students to have to rethink the types of production we do, to change our approach depending on the production, to look into the aspects of lighting and makeup and set design,” he says. “These are all the things that occurred in the industry when the industry went from standard definition to HD. All those things had to be re-thought of, and we’re going to have to do that with 4K.”

Cornog anticipates faculty and students will need to adjust to the new video production gear, but will be successful with it in time.

“I think one of the things that we can anticipate is we’re going to have a variety of faculty members dealing with new workflows and new systems and new commands,” he says. “There will be little wrinkles that will take a while for all of our instructors to learn and student leaders to get on top of…There are a lot of moving parts that you have to be sensitive to.”
