Room Information
This Human Resources room has a system similar to a standard classroom.
There are two ceiling microphones to capture the voices of occupants sitting at the table.
There is a room camera below the monitor.
At the front of the room, there is an HDMI, USB-C, and USB-A cable coming out of the technology rack.
To learn how to use these cables for conferencing, visit Web Conferencing in a UConn Room.
Privacy Note: The camera and microphone system in this room is not a standalone unit and cannot operate independently. The camera/mic signal is sent solely though the USB cable to your laptop. The devices need your laptop’s conferencing program to reach the outside world.
Using the Technology
Tap on a Source to have it shown on the monitor.
The USB-C cable will carry your laptop’s image to the screen and charge your laptop if supported.
Tap on Display On / Off to control the wall monitor. Tap Display Mute to quickly mute or unmute the projector.
Note: Audio is not muted with the Display Mute button.Tap on Camera Controls to control the camera in the room and to mute/unmute the ceiling microphones.
During your use, it will likely be more appropriate to use the microphone mute buttons within the video conferencing program.
The Microphones and Camera are sent to your laptop through the white USB-A cable. This cable must be plugged into your laptop if you want to use the room’s devices during your conference.
The HDMI and USB-C HDMI cables carry your laptop’s image out to the projector. The USB-A cable brings the camera and microphones in to your laptop. To learn more, visit Web Conferencing in a UConn Room.
The directional pad (D-Pad) will allow you to move/zoom the camera. Once you have the camera in the desired position, you may press and hold one of the Camera Presets buttons to save the position/zoom. If you move the camera again, you may simply tap on that preset button to return the camera to the saved orientation.
The Virtual Background feature in web-conferencing programs will not work with this system, as that feature looks for a person (or two) sitting directly in front of the camera. Disable any background effects while connected to this system, and note that your conferencing program may maintain your settings from your previous meeting and enable a background effect for you.
Audio Inputs/Outputs
When you plug the USB-A cable into your laptop, you may see multiple devices appear in your Camera and Microphone choice menu.
Be sure to choose DMP (Echo Canceling Speakerphone) for your output and the DMP Plus for the input.
Camera Choice
Look for PTZ in your camera choices to use the room camera instead of your laptop’s internal camera.
Presenting
If you are presenting without an online audience, you only need to plug in either the full-size HDMI cable or the USB-C cable to have your laptop’s image appear on the monitor.
If you have an online audience, share your presentation in the video conference as you normally do.
