This space features a QSC touch control panel mounted to the new lectern allowing for easy volume; camera, and display controls. Facing the students is an 86" Dell touch TV. Mounted in the ceiling are an AVer PTZ camera and a Shure microphone array tile, making this space fully Zoom capable.
The AVer 310PTZ Pro 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 remote. They do not have a 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.
