HyFlex Classroom: Overview

• Standard classroom equipment- computer, projector, document camera, speakers (Learn more in the Standard classroom articles)
• HD camera with pan, tilt, and zoom 
• Ceiling-mounted array microphone to capture instructor and student voices
• Updated touchscreen control panel with camera controls
• Second interactive monitor at instructor station 
• Large HDTV on rear wall allows for easy interaction with remote participants
  
  Equipment could vary slightly from room to room, but the basic concept will remain the same.
   

The updated touchscreen control panel includes camera presets that provide one-click access to different views of the classroom. Instructors can also pan, tilt, and zoom to move the camera manually or set custom presets as needed.

The images below are examples of common presets you might see in a traditional classroom:  
       
         Presets are customizable and will be set to meet the needs of each individual room.
