Madison Media Institute in Wisconsin Purchases GY-HD200 Pro HD Cameras for Video Production Curriculum

Wisconsin-based Madison Media Institute (MMI), a leading college for training in digital media arts, recording and video, upgrades its Video Production department to HD with JVC's GY-HD200 cameras.

"The GY-HD200 provided us with an extremely cost-effective way to upgrade to HD," said Erik Higgs, an instructor at Madison Media Institute . "JVC's cameras are intuitive and have a very functional design. With the affordable price point we were able to convert our studios and editing suites with ease."

Department of Visual Arts Chairman, Nella Citino, comments on why JVC is the school's camera of choice, "JVC cameras have kept the traditional approach for manually adjusting white balance, focus, iris and zoom. It's vital that our students understand how to use these cameras since many broadcast outlets utilize cameras with manual adjustments. The GY-HD200 cameras provide a high quality picture and are extremely durable."

The school also utilizes the GY-HD200s for live concert recordings, educational seminars, the Madison Media Institute's 48-Hour Film Festival, guest artist recordings, as well as local media events and student demo reels.

For classroom and lab exercises, first and second semester students record on tape. They can understand the basics of shooting and post-production editing. However, third and fourth semester students learn to record to DR-HD 100 to get familiar with a different workflow and process.

MMI utilizes the BR-HD50s for digitizing and capturing footage which is edited in a variety formats in Final Cut Studio.
