Multimedia Design Laboratory

The rules of the Multimedia Design Laboratory (from now on – the Laboratory) are based on the principle of mutual respect – those who obey the Laboratory rules and terms earn the Laboratory’s respect.
The following abstract describes the order of equipment issue and return, as well as the general rules applying to handling the equipment loaned by the Laboratory.

• The Equipment must be returned at least 30 minutes before the return deadline for the Laboratory staff to be able to recharge the batteries (and disinfect the Equipment during the quarantine);
• Incomplete Equipment sets are not accepted (the User must check the completeness of the Equipment set before returning it);
• One User group can only be loaned one Equipment set of the same category, e.g.: one User group cannot be loaned 2 camera sets;
• The User is unable to reserve any new Equipment until they have successfully returned the current Equipment set and the case of return has been logged by the Laboratory staff;
• The Laboratory staff are not responsible for the data left on the memory card (the memory cards must be formatted before the Equipment is returned).
