Students Use BoinxTV to Create, Learn and Tell Stories
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
Fryeburg Academy, a day and boarding school in Maine, is an independent preparatory school that prides itself on providing a supportive yet challenging environment for their students. The Academy believes its strong school community fosters learning and growth in all of their students, and its comprehensive co-curriculum cultivates generations of students who graduate well prepared for the future.
A recent addition to the school’s curriculum to help further the Academy’s mission is Filmmaking and Broadcast – a course that requires its students to create content for, report, shoot and edit their own news show. After weeks of hard work and behind-the-scenes efforts – made easier through the class’s use of BoinxTV – FATV is broadcast online to the news team’s fellow classmates and faculty.

HDMI Video Converter for School Use of BoinxTV!
Thursday, October 13, 2011
Our resident BoinxTV mastermind, Bastian, recently came across another great piece of equipment to use alongside BoinxTV - the HDMI to Composite /S-Video Converter 3RCA CRT TV CVBS from Portta. Designed to convert HDMI to either Composite Video or S-Video, this converter allows the devices only equipped MiniDisplayPort output to be connected to CRT TV. "We receive many requests from schools for an adapter or converter to use with BoinxTV," says Bastian. "This converter is perfect for school use, as many schools may be using HD devices and Macs that only allow for digital video playout, but are only equipped with analog TV. This takes care of that problem, converting your HDMI to analog, and allowing schools to run BoinxTV at the best possible quality."
Bastian outlined the three different scenarios in which schools might use the HDMI converter to run BoinxTV in a handy little diagram - click here to view. Here's a breakdown of each diagram:

Appletell Takes a Look at BoinxTV
Monday, October 10, 2011
Bill Stiteler from Appletell recently posted a short video review of BoinxTV, calling it a "very intuitive program." He quickly goes through the various aspects of our tv production software, from lower thirds, to layers, logos, and tickers, and suggests that users try one of the many "extremely professional looking," BoinxTV templates. "Really, the only thing you are limited by when using BoinxTV is the video processing power of your computers' video card," says Bill. Watch Bill's video made with BoinxTV here and see just how easy it is to create your very own broadcast!
