This fall, the CoJMC Checkout Room will introduce updated Yellow and Blue kits featuring the Sony PXW-Z90 video camera. This change reflects an update in the Communication Design program, where new students are now trained on the Sony Z90 instead of the JVC 600 series camera.
To meet anticipated demand, the checkout room now offers the following kits:
Z90 Blue Kit
| JVC Blue Kit
|
Z90 Yellow Kit
| JVC Yellow Kit
|
We anticipate increased demand for the Sony Z90 kits as new students shift toward using the camera they’ve been trained on. The checkout process remains first-come, first-served. Students who are unable to check out a Z90 will be offered a JVC kit or may join a waitlist. Waitlist times vary from a few hours to a couple of days, depending on demand. Faculty with video assignments should be aware that camera availability will vary based on demand.
While incoming students are trained on the Sony Z90, returning students may be more familiar with the JVC cameras.
This change primarily affects communication design and broadcasting courses but may also impact any course that includes video-based assignments.
