Note, if your event is hybrid, LEMP will provide an A/V connection, but LEMP does not offer management of Zoom meeting/webinar sessions or live video streaming. LEMP does not offer microphone running services, but can provide microphone stands for Q&A, if needed.
Communication Access Real Time Translation (CART) Connection
LEMP handles the technology for CART, providing your transcriptionist with an audio feed and displaying captions on-site. Some classrooms have built-in CART capabilities (such as a wall-mounted display or multi-window display), but LEMP might need to bring in a mobile TV for CART. You’ll need to arrange for a transcriptionist separately.

All recordings will be provided via video.syr.edu.
Please note that it is the University’s policy that all public-facing videos need to be captioned. The University is contracted with Automatic Sync to provide special rates for captioning.
