Video Selection Guide
The Computing Services team provides a broad range of professional video production services. From single-camera shoots to live broadcast production to creative productions to captioning and transcription, we can record at almost any campus location, and even some off-campus sites, subject to additional transportation fees. Follow the guidelines below to select your services, or contact us for assistance.
All new productions created with Media Services include on-demand video hosting and download delivery for one year, as well as professional closed captioning and transcription.
Lecture or Event Recording
We’ll capture your lecture or event at an affordable rate. We can also add slides, professional titles, effects, and background music to your recording. This service includes on-demand hosting (public, private, or password protected). If you are teaching a course and taking advantage of the tremendous resources available at the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence & Educational Innovation, this service is a great compliment.

Single Presenter

Live Broadcast Production
When you add a live broadcast production to your event, guests who aren't able to attend in person can watch online in real time.
A live broadcast is similar to a standard lecture or event recording. Our videographer captures and cuts between one or more video streams, the presenter's slides, or other digital content.
Note: Computing Services broadcasts live productions using Kaltura, a platform that provides higher-quality video and audio than Zoom, but does not include chat, Q&A, or other audience participation capabilities.

Accuracy
Media Services offers two levels of captioning for your pre-recorded videos.
- Professional (99% Accuracy) - your project is submitted for professional captioning and reviewed for accuracy.
- Mechanical (80%-95% Accuracy) - this captioning is automated and is not reviewed for accuracy.
Delivery Format
Media Services can provide the following for your pre-recorded videos:
- Closed Captions - your final video will be hosted using our video service, Kaltura. We will provide you with a link to the video for sharing purposes. Viewers can choose to turn on or off captioning as needed.
- Open Captions - your final video will be delivered to you as a downloadable file for sharing via cloud storage or another platform. Captions are burned into the video, which means all viewers will see the captions. Viewers will be unable to turn off captions.
- Audio Description - an audio file containing a voiceover that describes the actions and visuals in a video, making it more accessible to those with visual disabilities.
- Transcription - a text file containing the transcript of your meeting or webinar will be uploaded to Box for your use.
Video Hosting Service
The Media Services team uses the Kaltura video hosting platform. If you choose Closed Captioning for your pre-recorded video project, we will upload your video and provide you with a link for sharing.
Please note that projects stored on Kaltura will incur an annual hosting fee. Please review our price list for more information.
