Technical data

Ceiling microphones

Microphones are designed to capture and transmit the speech of people in audience seats to a distant location (far end) during video conferencing without leaving their seat. Each of the eight microphones covers an average of 1/8 of the total Lecture Hall. The microphones are strengthened in the ceiling, before the video conference begins with an electric lift, they are lowered from ceiling level to the required height above the audience; after video conference, they are pulled back at ceiling level. Microphones are used for local audio recording. Each microphone is equipped with an additional pre-enhancement. Perception chart: Cardioid. Frequency range: 65-20 kHz.

Built-in monitors

The monitor is designed to display presentations from a stationary computer. With the built-in monitor, the lecturer doesn't need to turn around permanently to look at the projected image.

Control 19" LCD monitor

The monitor is designed to display information from all possible signal sources (stationary computer, video conferencing platform, visualization camera, DVD, satellite, portable computers, etc.). The monitor can be used to duplicate the information (because the people at the presidency table are with their backs to the projection screens), and to view the information before it is displayed on the projection screens or in a video conferencing system.

Central controller

The controller, together with the touch-sensitive control panel, is designed to control all audiovisual, sound processing, lighting and ventilation equipment, so that they function in a predefined scenario in a user-friendly way, replacing the remote controls of each individual unit.

Visualisation camera 

The camera is designed to display documents and 3D objects on projection screens or in a video conferencing system. The visualization camera shall be equipped with optical scaling enabling documents (e.g. prints, books, codoscope copies, etc.) or three-dimensional objects (e.g. packaging, tissue samples, bones, etc.) with a minimum size of 80 x 107 mm and a maximum size of 1200 x 1600 mm to be displayed in the full screen size without any loss of quality. Since the camera is at the ceiling, there are no components of the camera or connection wires on the tables. The captured area on the camera is illuminated and thus the user can see exactly which parts of the object are displayed on the screen (or in a video conferencing system) and which are not. In addition, the panel to be placed on the table allows you to display x-rays with a maximum size of 430 x 359 mm.
