Peltz Digital Media Lab

The Digital Media Lab (DML) is an enclosed room with a green screen wall and outfitted with hardware and software designed to help users record, create, and edit digital recordings (audio, movie, images, etc.). If you're looking to digitize your old media (8mm, VHS, cassette, slides, etc.) go to the Digitization Room page instead.
