The DigiCentre is built around the following rooms:

1)     Studio (Green Room) The studio is used for professional video production. Its spacious and adaptable layout allows for multi-camera setups and the filming of multiple subjects. The studio features excellent acoustics, high-quality and adjustable lighting, and top-tier video equipment. Background cloths in various colors—including black, white, green, and a JAMK-branded lilac/red gradient—are available for different purposes. A control room at the rear of the space manages recording and studio operations; it also provides storage for equipment. While the center’s own staff primarily use the facility, others may use it with staff support and in accordance with booking policies.

2)     In Tuberoom 1 (Black Room) , teachers independently produce high-quality videos. The room features a black interior and is equipped for recording podcasts and voiceovers. The equipment includes a camera with a rotating head, podcast and video mixers, and four dynamic microphones.

3)      In Tuberoom 2 (White Room)  The room features a white interior. It is a space designed for group filming, equipped for interviews, group presentations, and webinars. The equipment includes a video production switcher, two wireless microphones, and a camera with a motorized pan-tilt head.
