The Learning Spaces Technology group provides technology consultations, design, installation, training, management and support of One Button Studios [OBS], a user-friendly way for capturing high-quality video and audio. There are two models of OBS available for use on campus, one based on the Extron Studio Station model, and another based on the the Penn State University One Button Studio model.
Currently, two openly available OBS campus locations have live chroma key compositing capability [HLHS 316 & PH 120D]; others, may have green-screen recording capability, but video editing is required to accomplish chroma key compositing [exceptions are PBB C323 & C350, which have no green-screens]. Each location has unique guidelines developed by their college or department, so it is highly recommended to visit the sites for locations provided below.
Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to use One Button Studios & Extron Studio Stations. If you are a person with a disability who requires a reasonable accommodation in order to use the studio, please contact the ITS Help Desk in advance at its-helpdesk@uiowa.edu
