Cablecast

Cablecast Information

Any media in our collection can be broadcast through our campus-wide cable system to be viewed in your classroom for regularly scheduled classes.
Every classroom has a VHS/DVD player installed to allow playback of personal media.

Notes:
We cannot broadcast international format VHS tapes in PAL or SECAM.
We cannot broadcast 3/4" videocassettes or 8mm film.
Every classroom at SFSU has a TV or projection system installed. The on-line classroom database has a complete list of rooms by building.

We have a pdf form available for completing requests at home or in your office. PDF (please read the instructions page).
We can process one request over the phone, but not multiple showings or multiple requests.
Occasionally, media will be kept out by another faculty past its return date. We will try to get it back in time, but we cannot be held responsible for late returns. Please call 81494 to reschedule your cablecast. DO NOT call 15103. That number is reserved for starting broadcasts only.

We have Closed Caption Decoders on 1 laserdisc channel and 4 DVD/VHS channels. We cannot guarantee that closed captioning has been encoded on the media. We will test any media ahead of time at your request.

Starting your broadcast
Tune your TV or console to the assigned channel. Call ext. 15103. Our student assistant will answer. Give them your last name and channel number. STAY ON THE PHONE UNTIL YOU GET PICTURE AND SOUND. We can usually fix any problems over the phone.
