We install and maintain audiovisual equipment for many of the rooms on campus and support staff who require assistance while teaching in General Teaching Space (GTS) rooms.

We also lend equipment to presenters and lecturers and provide a range of audiovisual services including training on how to use the AV equipment in teaching rooms.

AV Technology in General Teaching Space

Teaching rooms have traditionally been equipped with facilities for both DVD and VHS playback but the transition to newer technologies is now underway.

All new teaching rooms, including those in the Jubilee building, are being fitted with BluRay & DVD playback, plus digital document cameras as standard. Due to the high costs of sourcing obsolescent and scarce equipment, teaching rooms will no longer be fitted with VHS players, OHPs or 35mm slide projectors.

A small stock of VHS players and slide projectors will be kept for loan from the IT Service Desk in Shawcross but they will not be replaced when they reach end of life.
