Room 308, building A-2

The main function of the Laboratory of Audiovisual Techniques (room 308, A2) is to provide necessary equipment for teaching all aspects of modern multimedia: from still image, video, and audio acquisition and processing to proper output media preparation. A particular emphasis is put on color management, from both a practical (e.g., monitor color profile creation) and a theoretical (e.g., color management theory) standpoint. The second function of the laboratory is to teach all aspects of virtual reality - from extended reality (imposing a 3D generated image onto a real-world video signal) and computer games to a full virtual reality experience. The former is achieved by using the Virtuix Omni system with a license for a full software suite necessary for its programming.

The most noteworthy equipment of the laboratory includes the following:

• a live acquisition video system based on Blackmagic DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G, allowing live 4K RAW video acquisition, an Intel Xeon W-2245 CPU, 64 GB RAM, NVidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card, a Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD and a professional grade Western Digital Gold WD4003FRYZ (4 TB) HDD
