Events that are video recorded and made available for viewing online are an incredible asset for the College, providing compelling digital content that attracts attention to our high-quality research and academic programs. TSO encourages the recording, live webcasting and podcasting of College events, including but not limited to:

• Distinguished Lectures
• Brown Bag Lectures
• Symposiums, Colloquiums and Workshops
• Faculty Candidate Lectures
• Guest Lectures
• Special Events (Awards, etc.)
• and other events...

The TSO Research Program Support Group facilitates recordings for research events and for College special events. We employ the technology of OIT's Streaming and Webcasting Service.  If you are interested in having an event recorded, contact the TSO Helpdesk to begin your request.

Contact the TSO Helpdesk (helpdesk@cc) to request help with your Event Recording.

There are several recording options available for you to consider:

1. Large or high-profile events where a high-quality recording is desired. If you want a highly polished and professional recording (i.e. with multiple camera angles and fades) then you should consider contracting with the GT Distance Learning & Professional Education (DLPE) department. Exact quotes will depend on your event however our experience has been that DLPE charges average about $100 per hour with a minimum of 4 hours. Alternatively, you might consider contracting with an outside videography company like TechRentals. TSO Research can help facilitate the technical aspects of the event with these groups. We can help with the live webcast, playback page, iTunesU posting and hard copy of video files.
2. Medium sized events where a good-quality recording is desired. You can contract with TSO Research to coordinate technical aspects and record the entire event for about $75/hour with a minimum of 4 hours charge. We ask discovery questions, setup the equipment, provide event technical assistance, perform the recording and post production....all of which represents several hours of labor. We provide a live webcast page, a post-event playback page, optionally publish to iTunesU and we provide a hard copy of the video files. We have a nice set of equipment and software w/titling but only one camera angle.
3. (Free Option) Small sized, frequently occuring events where a good-quality recording is desired. You are required to identify volunteers from your research centers that TSO can train how to use the AV equipment. TSO Research will attend the first event to make sure things go smoothly. TSO advocates this option because it produces more people skilled at making good-quality, low-cost recordings.
