Television Studio C - supports the production needs of students from a variety of Faculty of Communication and Design Schools including Fashion, Theatre, Image Arts, Journalism and Radio and Television Arts. Outfitted with a fixed lighting grid, this barrier-free facility is a readily equipped three camera broadcast studio complete with a white cyclorama and blue screen curtain. To accommodate Journalism a News production area has been set aside that includes two retractable backdrops featuring photographs of historic St. James Square set against Toronto's skyline and the Atrium entrance to the Rogers Communications Centre. It’s the only TV Studio outside of TV Studio D where a newscast can be run that’s completely tied into Journalism’s Avid iNEWS and Grass Valley NewsEdit systems.

The studio floor is equipped with three Panasonic AJ-SDC615P cameras on Mathew pedestals and QTV teleprompter heads. For quick set changes the studio is equipped with a Uniset NUNS Talent table and riser system. The floor monitor has a consumer VHS machine so faculty involved with performance can directly control recordings used in performance evaluation. To control lighting the studio is outfitted with external Electronic Theatre Control (ETC) dimmers and an ETC Microvision FX lighting controller. A fully compliant broadcast RTS Intercom system connects the control room to the studio as well as locations external to the studio when required for remote production. The studio's floor space is 28 feet by 35 feet, totaling 980 square feet.

Through its 16 input Soundcraft Spirit FX-16 audio mixer, Television Studio C’s Control Room integrates both audio and video control into a single room. Running a Ross Synergy 1 SDI switcher, the control room incorporates Panasonic DVC-Pro and S-VHS recording, a Grass Valley M-Series M222A I-VDR, Grass Valley’s News Q Pro control and an Avid iNEWS computer to provide newscast rundown. The entire studio monitor wall –including Program and Preview-- is displayed on two 45” Sharp LCD monitors that have been sub divided into a multi input monitor wall using four Avitec Media Command Centers.

For graphics, a standard PC computer is used as a Stillstore and an Inscriber INCA Title One is used as the Character Generator. The technical director makes use of an independent auxiliary switcher and uses three Panasonic EJ-EC3P camera control units tied into a Videotek VTM-100 digital waveform monitor to oversee camera levels during production. Television Studio C also contains a Torpey clock system that includes a Torpey Up/Down Timer for use as a production timer and a teleprompter computer to control the BDL teleprompter production software. The Studio can interconnect all of the Rogers Communications Centre’s TV studios and the Production Trunkline System. TV Studio C is the first TV Studio Control room at Ryerson to make use of a Noren Acoustilock Cabinet that significantly reduces machine noise by 99%.
