Studio 5A
Studio 5A was created in response to an increased need for student-reservable studio space. This multi-use studio is designed in the style of a conference room or office space but can be transformed into a variety of different settings with props and furniture.
The studio’s brick façade wall features a lightbox with interchangeable backlit graphics. Two custom-built shelving units on the opposite side of the studio contain hidden PTZ cameras. The PTZ cameras are connected to a small camera switcher and monitor system which allows for live cutting between the two cameras and makes the studio an ideal space for recording interviews. The versatile lighting grid features bi-color lights and can be controlled via a smartphone or tablet with the Sidus Link app.
