In the Anatomy Lab (027) an instructor’s podium will be located at the front of the room and will be utilized as the main location for technology control equipment within the classroom.  This podium will feature a disc player, document camera, Crestron Air Media and laptop computer video connection capability. This room also features in-ceiling mounted speakers and microphones that can be utilized for lecture capture in that space as well as two way communications between the Anatomy and Cadaver Labs. This shared functionality would be initiated by the instructor from the iPad Mini located in the Anatomy Lab. Faculty will control the functioning of the room electronics via an iPad Mini which will provide ‘easy to use’ control buttons for all available technology devices in the room.  The Crestron iPad interface will allow the instructor to choose the source device (disc player, laptop, document camera, Berchtold Camera, AirMedia) and send its content to the destination devices (Interactive Monitor, Passive Monitor, Echo 360, SMART Podium).

The Cadaver Lab (028) section of these rooms will have two (2) sixty (60) inch wall mounted monitors with tilt capability.  There will be one Berchtold integrated camera and light mounted above an examination table.  That camera is connected so that students in the Anatomy Lab can observe the examination taking place in the Cadaver Lab via the in-room monitor.   The instructor will control the technology through the Crestron iPad interface using an iPad Mini which can be docked in the Anatomy Lab.   A lapel microphone and two ceiling mounted speakers are also provided in the Cadaver Lab to allow two way communications between rooms 027 & 028.

The primary, though not only, use of this room will be for Board of Trustee meetings. The seats are arranged in a rectangular shape to provide all participants with a clear view to all others. At the front of the room is an eighty (80) inch interactive monitor. There is also a SMART Podium in this room with the same functionality as the interactive monitor. Both the SMART Podium and interactive monitor are utilized to display presentation materials from available room sources. With the appropriate software loaded on a laptop, a presenter may annotate information displayed on the SMART podium or Sharp interactive TV. The presenter will connect to these devices via supplied HDMI and/or USB cables. There are four possible presenter locations. Only one of which is “live” to the Crestron system. All four are also live for network only. An eighty (80) inch passive monitor is located on each side of the room.  The presenter will use the interactive monitor to make presentations or demonstrations to the class/meeting participants.  The passive TV’s will be used to mirror the content of the interactive monitor or to display different content which the presenter selects. 

The equipment rack located in the equipment closet will feature a disc player, document camera and Crestron Air Media sources. Laptop computer connectivity is facilitated via an HDMI and USB outlet at the presenter location. The presenter location will be from the floor box located in the North West corner. This would be the floor box closest to the equipment closet. The Crestron iPad interface will also allow the presenter to choose the source device (disc player, laptop, document camera, AirMedia) and send its content to the destination devices (Interactive or Non-interactive Monitor, Echo 360). All of the technology devices will be controlled by an iPad Mini which will be docked and recharged at the presenter location.

Speakers are mounted at locations both in the ceiling and on the walls to facilitate lecture capture as well as content playback from any connected audio device.  Microphones will be placed on the table between every two participants. The presenter will access the Crestron platform through an iPad mini that will offer easy to use control buttons for all relevant technology devices in the room. The Crestron iPad interface will also allow the presenter to choose the source device (disc player, document camera, Air Media, laptop connection). The presenter will also have access to two (2) wireless lapel microphones.  A camera is mounted above each passive display. These cameras feature pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) capabilities which can also be controlled via the Crestron iPad interface from the iPad Mini.

Instruction set: Media Lite Instructions

This room only uses the core components to create an efficient teaching environment. This design is different from other classrooms in that the system features a high definition laser projector, HDMI and VGA for computer connection, Air Media, and a Document Camera and an iPad mini for control, and a mobile podium. The HD laser projector now projects onto a 16:10 screen, which makes content easier to see for students. Also, there is no bulb as the projector contains laser projection technology. This eliminates class disruptions due to a dim or burnt out bulb.
