Use of the recording studio

Objective
The IATS recording studio has the objective of offering the adequate environment for the realization of audiovisual productions necessary for reports, promotions, documentaries, among others, which are indispensable to make known the teaching-learning process that takes place at IATS.
General Norms
The IATS Technology Office is the one that administers and reserves the recording studio, coordinates the tasks of programming, reservation, maintenance and adequacy of the same. It also supervises the use and maintenance of the equipment assigned to the recording studio. All users who reserve the recording studio ARE RESPONSIBLE for any anomaly that may occur such as theft, damage to equipment, etc. (there are security cameras to ensure the protection of the studio).
Services and Users
The recording studio is at the service of our academic community that requires its use, with previous reservation in the Technology Office.

To use the recording studio you must complete the “Recording Studio Reservation Form” in its entirety including:

  • Commitment of responsibility for possible damages caused to the equipment.
  • Commitment to deliver the recording studio in the same condition in which it was received.
  • Contact telephone/email

Continued cancellations will jeopardize availability for the person who has made the changes.
