L-Shape LED

MTPC has installed an L-shaped LED at the entrance of the Jockey Club Atrium, adjacent to Lift 2. This installation is an integral part of MTPC’s initiative to digitize campus publicity. Its panoramic format provides a dynamic, sustainable alternative to traditional banners in this prime campus location, significantly reducing material and installation costs.

More importantly, the LED supports video, animation, 3D content, and interactive features, establishing it as a new center of attraction on campus. For details on content submission and technical support, please visit digitaldisplay.hkust.edu.hk or email poster@ust.hk.

Movable LED backdrops and lectern

MTPC is committed to reducing waste and lowering setup costs for HKUST events. To this end, we have acquired a suite of high-resolution digital panels to replace traditional physical backdrops. These modular panels can be configured in various widths up to 5 meters and include side and L-shaped panels to suit any venue or occasion. They are highly portable between venues and offer sufficient brightness for both indoor and covered outdoor use. A complementary LED lectern is also available to display dynamic event branding and graphics. Embrace a more sustainable and versatile event setup. To learn more, please contact us at poster@ust.hk.

HKUST Website Builder

In collaboration with ITSO, MTPC recently launched a website for "HKUST Website Builder”. It provides 1-stop information hub for building, designing and maintaining websites in HKUST. The website provides templates, modules, application workflow and procedures, operation guides and technical support like training videos and a comprehensive usage guideline. It also contains a demo site which features the layouts and effects of different modules to let users preview the look and feel of their web content.

SA Tech website

A website to highlight the roles, functions and activities of MTPC’s Shaw Auditorium Technical Team (SA Tech) was also released. It shows users the workflow for organizing events at the Shaw Auditorium, and details the theater technologies available in the Shaw Auditorium and the major events that are supported by the SA Tech. The site also features programs and activities organized by MTPC that were held in the Shaw Auditorium, including the very popular Technical Theater Arts Course (EMIA2220).

Digital Cinema Package (DCP) at Shaw Auditorium

The Digital Cinema Package (DCP) system is a complete, secure, and standardized technological framework for the digital projection of films. Newly installed in the Shaw Auditorium, this professional-grade system guarantees exceptional picture and sound quality. It ensures audiences experience films exactly as the filmmaker intended. With its superior technical capabilities and secure access control via Key Delivery Messages (KDMs), the DCP system enables the Shaw Auditorium to screen first-run independent films, classics, and film festival content.
