Dear Mark,
The config of your PC and Mac boxes seems pretty nice and complete. For the
peripherals, I'd say the following are must-have's; the rest are nice (but
might also be overkill or even overwhelming for some instructors):
> - flatbed scanners: with auto-doc feeder
> - CD-RW/DVD+/-RW external burners -- dual layer not necessary
> - external hard drives - at least 250 GB (preferably FireWire and USB 2.0
- 1
> per machine?) -- only if the instructor is doing a lot of video production
> - FireWire hubs
> - USB 2.0 hubs
> - microphones -- only if doing professional-quality recording, otherwise a
decent headphone with MIC (with noise-cancelling) is adequate
> - higher-end headphones WITH MIC
> - webcams
> - flash drives
> - color laser printer
> - surge protection
These things are good for a digitizing station, but not sure a faculty
member would want all this:
> - analog audio players (cassette & LP vinyl)
> - analog video players (VHS VCR - multi-standard NTSC/PAL/SECAM?)
> - analog-digital audio conversion boxes
> - analog-digital video conversion boxes
> - miniDV player -- only if you don't have a mini-DV camera, which can
function
as a mini-DV player/drive for media processing
> - digital still image cameras
> - digital video cameras
> - tripods
Best, Annelie
