Pearl River Community College enjoys a professional collection of cameras, lighting, sound equipment, field equipment, post-production equipment and professional production and post-production facilities.
     Students will feel their creativity rise to new levels as they work in a professional, fully-equipped post-production editing studio. An array of wide screen monitors allow them to fine-tune their projects (see photo at right), and with Adobe Premiere Pro serving as their non-linear editor (NLE) and the CineForm compression solution allowing them to work real-time with high definition video, they will discover new levels of cinematic professionalism.  A rich array of flat-panel monitors allow students to view their work in real-time, high definition resolution, so that they can see the production as it will look upon completion.  A quad core Intel® processor powers the computer which contains 4 GB of RAM and 4 terrabytes of storage.  This high-speed solution cuts back on lost productivity.
     PRCC Television and Film Productions soundstage is generously equipped with 2 full (1080i) high definition and one standard definition video cameras. The high definition cameras are equipped with precision optics and 24p frame-rate, offering film emulation capability. With the major film studios moving toward full digital production, the equipment offers a chance for students to learn an emerging technology. The cameras are equipped with hard drives allowing for tapeless capture and immediate transfer for post-production. All cameras are equipped to be stationary mounted, mounted on a jib crane, or mounted on a fig-rig steady-cam. 
     The soundstage is also equipped with professional lighting, Sennheiser, AKG, and Audio-Technica microphones, microphone boom poles, stands, and a full-function 16-track digital recorder. The soundstage also includes a green screen for chroma-key work.
