Open Signal's Studio A, measuring at 1,600 square feet.
Open Signal offers industry-standard HD studios to the public, so that anybody in Portland can make great work.
Get certified to use our HD production studios and you can book them for free to create TV shows, music videos, news reports or other content for our cable channels.
Studio A (pictured above) is a 2,000-square-foot space with five dolly-mounted Hitachi Z-HD5000 cameras, which you can quickly and smoothly maneuver into different positions, making shooting a multi-camera television show remarkably simple.
Directors can see what each camera is doing and perform live editing using Studio A's video switcher, which is capable of many effects, including split-screen, picture-in-picture and luminance or chromakeys.
Want to make a show, but have no crew? Shoot in Studio B! Three robotic mounted Panasonic cameras can be controlled by a single operator in Studio B's control room, so that you can film a show all by yourself.
Pan, tilt and zoom from multiple angles. You can save presets so that previous camera positions can be returned to with the touch of a button.
