Biomedical and Media Communications
The Mission of the Video Communications Department is to provide a
wide range of video, multimedia, and computer assisted communications
programs, and video teleconferencing production services to health
care and education professionals, primarily those associated with the
University of Connecticut Health Center, as well as other State of
Connecticut agencies. These services are provided in order to enhance
our clients’ abilities to achieve their individual and departmental
goals, and to help achieve the mission of the Health Center in
Teaching, Research, Patient Care, and Service to the Community.
The range of such communications technology is expanding at a rapid
rate and today includes design and production services in linear film
and video; animation; satellite, microwave, and ISDN / IP teleconferencing;
interactive video; computer assisted instruction; streaming video web
services; and interactive
graphics. The Video Communications Department is highly capable of and
highly experienced in all of these areas.
To remain in the forefront of effective use of communications
technologies, the Video Communications Department actively researches,
accesses, and develops new presentation methodologies.
To carry out our mission in the most effective way, the Video
Communications Department follows a thorough system that emphasizes
applied research, individual strategic planning, and total integration
of the programs we produce with our clients’ other forms of
communications needs.
We begin the process by analyzing all elements that relate to
communications development. These include the concept or service to be
communicated; the composition of the audience - their level of
awareness and their attitudes; other possibly competing concepts and
services; budgets; and schedules.
We assume total A-to-Z responsibility from script development and
writing through to the delivery of the finished product; we will also
assume more limited parts of the process according to client needs.
