Canadore College Students Produce Scoreboard Video
for North Bay Battalion Hockey with Broadcast Pix
Chelmsford, Massachusetts – Jan. 10, 2016 – As part of a unique partnership, students from Canadore College of Applied Arts and Technology in North Bay, Ontario, use a Broadcast Pix™ Granite™ 2000 integrated production switcher to provide scoreboard video coverage of the North Bay Battalion hockey team at the North Bay Memorial Gardens Sports Arena. The city owns the arena, and the Canadore staff built the control room and provides engineering services for its video equipment.
Installed in late 2015, the Broadcast Pix system was part of a $16.2 million arena renovation that included an HD video scoreboard above center ice and an updated control room to support full HD production. Yura Monestime, interim associate dean for media, design and dramatic arts, recommended the Granite because it provided more inputs and functionality than the previous switcher.
A 30-year production veteran, Monestime was impressed with the Granite’s ease of use and built-in features. “The workflow has greatly improved,” he added, “and I think the quality of the program – just the responsiveness – has improved, and all in HD.”
The Granite’s integrated multi-view populates four different monitors in the control room, including preview/programs monitors for the director and separate monitors for clips and graphics stations. Monestime said the operation also uses Broadcast Pix’s Watch-Folders file management system to import graphics and clips directly into the Granite.
Part of the Ontario Hockey League, the Battalion relocated to North Bay in 2013. Melinda Fry, the city’s manager of sports and events, said the team reached out to the college to recruit students to produce the video scoreboard presentations. Now, a city employee (and Canadore graduate) oversees the productions, but students run almost every aspect of game day productions, including cameras, graphics, and slo-mo replay.
“We thought this would be an awesome experiential learning opportunity for the students,” Monestime said. “It’s one of the best options they can have. It’s a real client that requires a certain level of quality and the students perform.”
The video scoreboard game coverage uses three cameras. The main camera, a remote PTZ, is positioned at center ice and stays wide, while a second camera with studio configurations is controlled by a student and provides a tighter view of the action.
A third camera is wireless and stays close to the ice for crowd interactions throughout the game. Every home game is also produced separately for broadcast, and the Granite has a dedicated input to include replays from the broadcast feed for particularly exciting game action. Beyond game coverage, students also handle production duties for conferences, ceremonies, and other events at the arena. Plus, students shoot Battalion players volunteering in the community, and the footage is shared during games using the Granite’s built-in clip store. Mike Griffin, president of the North Bay Battalion, said the improved video presentations are “enhancing the value for consumers to sit in the stands and be entertained.”

Canadore TV and Video Production students producing Canadore Convocation ceremonies with new mobile production cart. September 2016
An entire studio is wrapped up in one small package that can be transported anywhere to produce high quality live event productions.
CANADORE STAYS AHEAD OF CHANGING TECHNOLOGY
February 2016
To keep up with rapidly changing technology, Canadore opts to stay ahead of the curve by modifying the way it teaches the next generation of media and digital content specialists.
Viewer preferences are forcing traditional TV stations to change the way they create and deliver content. Canadore is in step with this evolution, with the use of their new innovative mobile media station that takes production out of the studio and into the field.
This new content creation mobile station will be used to cover sporting events, music concerts and conferences, offering HD quality and up to eight cameras, all wrapped up in a 5 by 4 foot transformer-type container that is easily transported.
“We are looking to the future. With this mobile production cart we are better able to train students and prepare them for the real world,” says Yura Monestime Interim Associate Dean of Media, Design and Dramatic Arts. “You still have to teach the basics of camera, lighting, editing and storytelling but now we have to include podcasting, webisodes and online delivery.”
There are continual enhancements being made to the TV and Video Production program to meet the needs of present and future technologies, over the past few months in particular with this latest creation.
“At the end of the day it’s about the story, the content, and its delivery. and teaching our students how to monetize that delivery for a changing marketplace. We’re all living that transformation right now and we’re ready for it at Canadore.”
If you would like more information on the program or how to gain access to the new technology please contact Yura Monestime Interim Associate Dean of Media, Design and Dramatic Arts at yura.monestime@canadorecollege.ca or visit our website canadorecollege.ca/media.

Canadore unveils new Media Hub (Studio 2)    After a period of renovations and equipment upgrades, Canadore now has one of
the most advanced digital production studios in Ontario. The Integrated Media Centre features leading-edge equipment and technology giving students a real-world experience like no other. Housed within the new 2,000 sq-ft media hub is the camera of filmmakers’ dreams - the ultra high resolution RED Epic digital camera. The camera, used in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean 4, The Hobbit, and the Amazing Spiderman, gives current media students and prospective students for the new Digital Cinematography program the opportunity for unique and coveted hands-on experience. “I am so impressed to see a college with a RED camera,” said Jeff Chen, Film Director for Colony Pictures. “Canadore’s set up is very cutting-edge, with computers and technology to create industry-standard visual effects.” The Hub, as the IMC is referred to at the College, provides students with open access to new equipment and emerging multimedia technology. Investments were made by Northern Heritage Fund and Fednor in the amount of $1 million each. “It is a great investment in the future of television and film production in the North. It gives us a new platform to educate film and television students and even outside content producers,” said Yura Monestime, Professor of Television and Video Production and Digital Cinematography. “The Hub provides a high tech area to visually create and tell their stories. It is a wonderful complement to our existing television area and our new Digital Cinematography program which is starting this Fall,” The Hub’s other new features include a 850 HD Tricaster switcher with Panasonic HD cameras, Sony F3 Cinema cameras, a steadicam and field audio equipment, LED studio lights, private edit suites and a master Red edit suite with a built in Red Rocket card, a 15x12 corner less green screen, an HD Carbonite switcher, HD Extreme graphics and the Ross Softmetal server . Recent Television graduate, Chantal Garcia said her class loved the opportunity to train on this advanced equipment. “Canadore gave me the best experience. I got all the training I needed and time on equipment that other schools won’t have for years,” she said. The Centre’s advanced digital platform will benefit a number of existing programs at the College - including Advertising, Radio, Television and Video Production, Digital Cinematography, Graphic Design, Mobile App Development and Theatre Arts - and will be a technology base for new program development. “The idea behind the Media Centre is to provide a space where students across programs can work and learn from each other,” said David Himmelman, Dean of Media, Design and Dramatic Arts. “By creating this type of collaborative learning environment, students will learn different disciplines that will prepare them for careers across the globe.” |
