With a view to developing a high impact and good knowledge base amongst its students and trainees in the field of electronic journalism, the Institute has a modern production studio, equipped with digital cameras with synch and special effects generators. The editing consoles comprise I-Mac, FCP Mac-Pro digital video editing systems and on-line digital video editing. For radio transmission, the Institute has separate sound recording, FM and voice-over studios, which are used for imparting training in Radio and TV technology.

The Institute has partially upgraded its analogue tape-based equipment to modern digital technology. This provides students with hands-on experience on digital cameras and non-linear editing that are universally employed in T.V. channels today.

For strengthening the infrastructure available with the Institute, it has acquired two high-end FCP Mac Pro video edit machines for a network-based digital non-linear video editing system at New Delhi, with stand-alone, non-linear edit systems and a high-end digital graphic support system for T.V. and print media. Digital still cameras, along with accessories, were also acquired for sufficiently strengthening the training in audio-visual and print areas. Digital video and still cameras, teleprompter machines and iMacs for non-linear editing have also been procured for our Regional Centres at Aizwal, Amravati, Jammu and Kottayam.
