Non-Core Service Fees - Media Services
Media Events
One-hour events that require postproduction will be charged at $220.00. Events without postproduction will run $160.00. This pricing model is for events that are produced to become part of the University’s collection of assets. In cases where copies of media are requested, additional fees will apply. Pricing for events that do not fall under this category will be subject to fees to be negotiated at the time when the services are requested. Please keep in mind that these are fees for most events, but situations that require special set-ups and equipment will be quoted separately.
In the area of storage, we offer, as a core IT service, 15 gigabytes (GB) of combined media storage to academic entities whose budgets are directly dependent and related to the University’s budget, whose media distribution efforts benefit the academic mission of the institution and become part of the University’s resources. Individuals, centers and units that are affiliated with the University, but that retain operational and financial independence from the rest of the institution, can receive support from RMS for production, storage and distribution. In the latter case, fees will apply for all production, storage and distribution.
Video Conferencing
IT provides video conferencing free of service, under most circumstances. Qualifying conferences are those that:
- connect sites via IP, or
- connect sites via ISDN but the external calling party initiates the call, and
- require no further technical support once the connection is established
Customers will be responsible for charges if:
- An ISDN call is initiated at Rice (long distance charges will be passed to the customer)
- Technical support is necessary for a substantial time beyond the initial cost ($35.00 - $65.00/hr)
- The call is unrelated to the University business and its academic mission (technical support will be charged at $70.00-$130.00/hr)
