ABOUT THE DUMONT TELEVISION CENTER

The DuMont Television Center continues a tradition of excellence in television started at Montclair State University in 1952 by Allen B. DuMont, a pioneer of the industry. Today the Ccenter maintains a high level of quality and achievement in facilities and production by its faculty, staff, and students.

The DuMont Television Center at MSU serves as an instructional laboratory and support facility for the Department of Broadcasting, other MSU departments, as well as the university and surrounding community. The center assists with television services, duplication of videotapes, advisement, consultation, video satellite viewing, distance learning, video teleconferences, and international standards conversion (VHS only). In addition it supports projects in television production for the university administration, instructional programs, as well as students' co-curricular activities.http://www.montclair.edu/arts/dept/broadcasting/bdcs05.html

The DuMont Television Center consists of two fully equipped video production studios, each with its own control room and full complement of production equipment. The facility also houses related spaces including non-linear editing stations, a well equipped audio studio, and a variety of editing suites using BetaCam and digital video formats. The center also has a steerable three-meter "C", "Ku", and digital satellite receive.

Perhaps most recognized for its weekly program Carpe Diem produced by the MSU Department of Broadcasting, the DuMont Center has also mounted a vast array of projects serving the MSU and off-campus communities and has received numerous awards for its projects. The Center also presents an annual Radio Club of America Scholarship to a deserving broadcasting major.

Students in the broadcasting program at MSU enjoy unparalleled access to the facilities and equipment of the DuMont Television Center due in part to department policies and the small class configurations.
