NTID faculty: If you need a video (usually NTID/RIT produced) digitized for class that is not available through streaming services or DVDs, you can request that service via NTID Engineering Services department. Please email the ntidvideodropbox@rit.edu address to arrange the delivery of any media to be digitized. You can also ask these services for voice interpretation and captioning. You may be asked to provide a transcript to make the voicing process more accurate and easier for the interpreters.
