This space features a Crestron touch control panel mounted on the Nomad Podium allowing for easy volume; camera, and display controls. Facing the students are two large whiteboards on which the room's two projectors can display. Mounted at the back of the room is an LG TV and an AVer PTZ camera. Hanging from the ceiling are a series of microphone bulbs, making this space fully Zoom capable.
Some of our classrooms have additional TV screens on the side or at the back of the room. Many times there is a camera near the additional screens. With this arrangement, if there are remote students joining the class, they can be seen on the back TVs.

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.
