Please see below for other media services that we may be able to either provide, facilitate or signpost you to: -

Audio recording or podcasts

Within our production facility we have a fully equipped and soundproofed professional audio recording booth.  It can be used to create high quality audio recordings, podcasts, or for recording voice-overs, to include in video productions that either we are producing or you are producing yourself.  Please see our request process if you would like to commission a project that fits within our acceptance criteria

Live Event recording or streaming

NUIT Media Services aren't sufficiently resourced to undertake recording or streaming of live events (including lectures and seminars) within NUIT Media Services.  The University ReCap system will record digital presentation and audio content (not talking heads) and there are also a number of external providers that may be able to assist

Media duplication / conversion services

There are a number of commercial companies that provide media duplication and conversion services do so including TVV Productions, who are registered on the University finance system

Media production facilities for external clients

If you would like to commission a project that doesn't fall within our acceptance criteria then contact us and we will be able to provide details of external companies that may be able to assist

Media training Support

Media training helps people become familiar with speaking in front of camera, maximises media impact and provides vital techniques to those who will be dealing with the press and media on a one-off or regular basis.  O‌‌ur production facility can be booked to host and deliver University organised media training events with our team providing technical support throughout.

Please note that we only provide the facilities and technical support to media training, and you would need to arrange the facilitators separately.  We would suggest speaking to the University Press Office about this in the first instance.

Off-air recordings 

There are a several ways to gain access to existing commercial media content that has been broadcasted.  Please see below for more information.

Box of Broadcasts: The University subscribes to Box of Broadcasts (BoB) which provides access to over one million programmes from over 60 TV and radio channels, including most of the UK's freeview network, all BBC TV and radio content from 2007 and several foreign language channels. The Library web pages provide further information on how to use BoB.

Open University Programmes: The University Library stocks many Open University Programmes, and holds the licence for their recordings. If you require an programme recording off air, or a previously broadcast title to be purchased, please contact your Liaison Librarian via the Library's web site.

Professional Photography

If you have a need to commission professional photography then the University currently deals with a wide range of external photographic companies that should be able to meet your needs.  It's also worth checking to see what's available via the University photo library before you commission an external company.

Recording studio hire

Our recording studios are only available for use as part of a NUIT Media Services commissioned project, and are not available for dry hire or for use by external companies.  If you require information on studio hire for your project then please contact us and we will do our best to advise.

Subtitling 

There are various options regarding subtitling your completed media.  Commercial products such as Youtube, Vimeo and Microsoft Stream all have automated closed captioning facilities for hosted content.
