In the summer of 2024, EH112 received a baseline AV system refresh along with the addition of new hybrid features for enhanced functionality. These features will allow for live conferencing and recording classes & events.
This page is an informational outline of the new features and room instructions.

No functionality was removed from this room as it still has the standard PC, laptop, and doc cam inputs. We simply upgraded the old hardware and added new functionality. You can use the new features as desired. |

Microphones: The new microphones will live in this space and have self-tabletop charging standspods. There is one lapel/belt pack and one handheld microphone for presenter audio capture. Each microphone has its own volume level & mute control on the touch panel, and there is as well as a master microphone volume level & mute to control both at once. You can use the microphones while sharing content to the projector & speakers, or simply select the Mics Only Mode on the touch panel if you only need to amplify your voice.
While amplifying your voice locally, the mics can simultaneously be used in conferencing or recording as we programmed specific audioAcoustic-echo cancellation Echo Cancellation (AEC) software.
The individual mic levels can be configured before a class, so even if you power off the system, the individual mic levels will remain the same–only the master mic level will default to a lower volume when the system is powered back on.
Camera: There is one PTZ camera for presenter capture. There are two locked presets for a the camera: the wide-angle view and the zoomed-in view of the front of the room. There is also an auto-tracking zoom, as well as options mode that can be toggled on to follow the presenter. Presets 3 & 4 can be used to set your own presets during your class or event.
Speakers: There are two additional speakers to improve the surround soundaudio.
Touch Panel: The physical button touch panel that was under the desk was replaced with a digital tabletop touchscreen. This is the only control system that users will need to touch to control the whole AV system (this does not include control of the wall-mounted screen up/down controlprojector screen--this is still a wall mounted switch).
iPad: This will act as a secondary touch panel, such that you can move around the room and have a mobile control. To use this as a control, simply open the iPad and navigate to the Extron Control application.
