These are connected to an Apple XServe which allows students to post their works in a safe storage system. Coupling high definition cameras with the latest version of Final Cut Pro, our students develop high quality broadcast for our local channel and the web.

Cymphonix allows us to run granulated filtering for content and control over different groups to allow more access to staff and teachers; while granulating filtering applied to different age groups. This type of control allows students at the high school to have more access to research resources for what they need than what our elementary students may need.
