This space, last overhauled in 2024, features a QSC Control touch panel mounted on the podium which allows for easy volume; camera, and projector control. Facing the students is a single large white board on which an Epson projector can display. At the far end of the room, mounted on the wall to the right of the greenhouse door, is an Aver PTZ camera. Additionally on the podium there sits a long-necked microphone, making this space fully Zoom capable.
The AVer TR530 PTZ camera is USB connected to the classroom PC for use in video conferencing applications such as Zoom. The camera has pan, tilt, and zoom capability which are controlled with a touch panel or a remote. They do have a simple tracking feature that can be enabled or disabled.
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.
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.
