  • Film and studio production

    The Multimedia Centre supports you in the realisation of an image film or other film project. We accompany you during the planned filming and create the film according to your ideas. It doesn't matter whether you are filming outside in the field, in the laboratory or in the congress centre.

    In the MMZ television studio at Carl-Zeiss-Straße 3, users have a wide range of options for realising their video projects, including green screen technology and teleprompters.

  • Drone recordings

    Drone recordings have become an integral part of modern video and film productions. Whether breathtaking landscape shots from a bird's eye view or the targeted tracking of moving objects - drones make this possible with little technical effort.

  • High-speed recordings

    With our high-speed camera, high-speed recordings or slow motion recordings can be realised. A wide range of different lenses can be used for this. A remote-controlled shutter release helps to capture the exact point in time that needs to be recorded at a higher resolution. A "Optronis Sprinter HD" camera with a maximum resolution of 720p at approx. 3500 frames per second is used.

  • Podcast and audio production

    We offer you the opportunity to record high-quality and appealing podcast episodes with up to 4 people. Our service includes not only the recording, but also the editing and post-production of your podcast episodes. We ensure that any noise and irregularities are removed and can also add music or other audio elements to your podcast.

  • Television recordings

    It is possible to record television programmes in order to use them for research and teaching purposes. The recording system enables the digital recording, distribution and management of up to 40 television channels in HD quality. The recorded programmes can be edited and exported in various formats. The recording must be ordered at least 7 days before the broadcast date.

  • Speaker booth

    Texts can be recorded or video sequences dubbed in the soundproofed voiceover booth. Through two small windows, the voice artist always has eye contact with the director.

  • Learning Glass

    Learning Glass is a powerful and attractive tool: LED lighting creates a transparent board on a special glass that can be written on with illuminated neon markers. You write on the board as usual and the image is rotated using software.

    The table is height-adjustable and there are 4 colours to choose from. (red, blue, green and yellow)

Image database Cumulus

The Cumulus image database is digital asset management software from Canto. Cumulus can cover the entire utilisation cycle of various image and video files. Files can be searched for using keywords and categories. Dynamic filters and customisable search queries enable direct access to the content. The metadata can be taken from various sources. For image or photo files, this is typically Exif or IPTC data. However, Cumulus also offers options for importing information from other file formats such as PDF or Microsoft Office formats. The metadata is mainly used to provide the most accurate results possible when searching the image archive.
Cumulus is accessed either via PC or web clients. The user administration is linked to the LDAP of the URZ and allows differentiated access to the catalogues.
