The Digital Media Suite staffed lab has 7 Windows and 3 Mac computers available.  All have the complete Adobe Creative Cloud collection of software installed.  Two of the computers have dual-monitor setups for more advanced projects.  The Video Studio and the Audio Studio are also available in this space.  Staff can provide support with all the hardware and most Adobe software (see below for exceptions).  Staff are also available to introduce you to the use of the studio spaces and provide technical support.
