Some of our short throw Epson projectors are touch capable. A short-throw projectors is one that is installed directly above the whiteboard. The short throw projectors that have a white casing are the interactive models that allow for touch interaction with the Built-in PC.

• The interactive projectors allow have pens, but also allow for using a finger.
• The projector's whiteboard feature can be used without a computer
• There are two pens with each projector. Each pen can be assigned a different color. Pressing the side button when using the pen at the whiteboard will bring up a menu for selecting a new color or pen style.
• There are two modes:
• Annotation: Use the pens of fingers to draw on top of the image.
• PC Control: Turns the projector into a touchscreen for the Built-In PC in the podium. Just touch instead of using the mouse.

With Schlessman Family Hall, the CATS team has been able to start constructing our own modern podiums using the QSYS AV system. The newest podiums come in two sizes:

• Deluxe Podium

Q-SYS is a programmable AV Control platform. The CATS team has two Q-SYS certified AV engineers on staff, allowing us to troubleshoot, redesign, and adapt the room's control panel.

Starting with Schlessman in 2023, Q-SYS has become the new standard system for controlling the equipment in the teaching space.

The Q-SYS PTZ cameras are positioned to capture the podium area. These cameras are controlled from the Q-SYS Touch Panel Controller on the podium. The PTZ designation stands for Pan, Tilt, and Zoom allowing for repositioning of the view.

• No tracking feature

These microphones are an array of multiple mics to pick up all the voices in the room. These microphones are connected to the Built-in PC for use in video conferencing software such as Zoom.

• Green Light - the mic is powered on and should be available.
• Blinking lights - the mic is having an issue
• No lights - power or the mic is dead.
