Collegiate VTC Classroom

System Description

The 71021-DLC Drop-In A/V® solution enhances TEKVOX’s collegiate classroom Drop-Ins with the modern convenience of video conferencing directly from the room’s existing interfaces. This system provides industry-leading local presentation and fully-integrated, flexible video conferencing, transforming any room into a remote learning hub.

TEKVOX’s collegiate video teleconferencing (VTC) classrooms seamless integrate video conferencing into a robust, versatile design already installed in thousands of classrooms. An industry-leading, fully-controllable PTZ camera provides vivid classroom video, and an array microphone automatically tracks the speaker to provide incredibly crisp, clear audio. A seamless presentation switcher gathers the room’s video inputs and transmits them—along with audio, power, and control signals—to a ceiling-mounted control enclosure via a single cable using HDBaseT technology. TEKVOX’s revolutionary ShareView™ technology allows presenters to broadcast classroom video and lesson content simultaneously from a single interface. Finally, a TCX7 7″ touchscreen provides comprehensive, intuitive controls at your fingertips, with a customer-specific interface tailored to each individual system.
