Design & Imaging and Cinema & Television were busy updating the post production facilities during your vacation week.

Here’s a breakdown of the changes:

-OSX 10.6.8, Chrome, Office and Adobe CS5.5 underwent routine updates.

-The Advanced Lab is closed for the summer term. 7 of the 8-core Mac Pro’s were shifted into the Basic lab (032),  those machines have the top handles labeled 026. This change was done to allow Chip to shoot instructional videos on how to use the equipment and prep the new HP Z820 machines for Fall deployment (Hello Windows…)

-This is the FINAL term of widescale OSX use for CineTV. Starting in the Fall, only 5 workstations will be running OSX/FCP. Use this term to learn Avid and/or Adobe Premiere Pro. The good news is that we’ll be shifting to Windows 7 using our new HP Z820 machines with 32 gigs of Ram, Quadro 4000 GPU and 12 cores of Sandy Bridge power. Stay tuned for more details about their deployment.
