The people of Georgia will be able to learn more about the expertise of University of Georgia faculty members and the groundbreaking research they perform with the installation of a VideoLink ReadyCam studio, which can provide a live feed to broadcast outlets around the world 24 hours a day.
UGA is the first university in Georgia to offer the ReadyCam system.
The studio, which is operated by the Division of Marketing & Communications, makes it easy for faculty, staff and administrators to immediately access worldwide television and cable news stations and participate in live interviews without leaving campus. Experts will be able to quickly and easily respond to breaking news topics.
UGA is a leading public research institution with renowned faculty in diverse fields, including infectious diseases, political science, the environment, veterinary medicine, legal issues and business matters.
Faculty experts have appeared on CNN, MSNBC, PBS and Telemundo, among others.
The ReadyCam video studio is fully equipped with an HD camera, professional quality audio and lighting, electronic backdrop, recording options and IP-based transmission that can transmit live feeds over the internet to anywhere in the world.
The studio can be remotely controlled by VideoLink professionals, which simplifies the live TV appearance process, so experts can be ready for a live interview in less than an hour.
