Over the past three months the Department of Physical Education and Athletics has worked with the Office of Information Technology to consolidate and upgrade the video technology available in the PEC. A new central video lab has been created. It consists of two editing stations, one media conversion station and secure storage for the many portable devices.

The lab received heavy use during its inaugural season. Every fall sport from Field Hockey to Cross Country made use of the new lab space and the freshly trained student videographers. The finished productions can be viewed by classes and teams in the PEC using a new classroom AV-cart, portable LCD projectors, and Da-Lite Insta-Theater screens. The labs contents are listed below.
