Media REQUIREMENTS

·  We prefer to use presentation software called MediaShout for all digital media.

·  Our screens have a resolution of 1280x720. We can display media of other resolutions via scaling, but that may change the quality of your media or require letter boxing to maintain proper aspect ratio.

·  We do not offer support of Blu-Ray media

o  (some classrooms are Blu-Ray capable, please ask)

·  Standard CDs and MP3s will be imported into MediaShout for playback

·  Digital video files can be used for playback, but we cannot guarantee support for all media due to the tremendous number of available codecs. MP4 is our preferred file format. MP4s will be imported into MediaShout for playback.

We require that all media be submitted at least one week in advance of the event so we can assemble any presentations (if necessary) and verify proper display and playback on our system. This allows us time to troubleshoot and work with you to correct any problems that might arise. Also, if one or more performers/bands are part of the event, and require their lyrics to be displayed, we require a set list and/or lyrics in text format at least one week in advance.

Please plan for a rehearsal so that we may work together in making things run as smoothly as possible.
