Audiovisual Resources

Our tutorial videos and guides will help you master the audiovisual technology available in our teaching spaces. Learn how to use the lectern touch panel, cameras, microphones, displays and more.

You can also read up on our FAQs at the bottom of this page and get in touch with our AV Technical Support team for further assistance. 

Quick Start Guide

Cameras

Cameras play a vital role in hybrid classes, helping online students feel connected and engaged. Our teaching spaces include built-in and adjustable cameras: 

  • Presets that focus on the presenter, whiteboard or the class.
  • Camera feeds integrate seamlessly with Echo360 for lecture capture and are compatible with live video conferencing platforms.
  • Document cameras are also available to share physical materials or handwritten content in real time.

Explore how to leverage these tools to support your teaching style and enhance the hybrid classroom experience.

The Epson Document Camera allows you to project information onto the projection screen in your teaching space. You can place an object such as a textbook under the camera lens and display the image on the projector screen.

The Lumens Document Camera allows you to project information onto the projection screen in your teaching space. You can place an object such as a textbook under the camera lens and display the image on the projector screen.

Microphones/Audio

Clear audio is essential for effective teaching - especially in hybrid and large classrooms. Our spaces are equipped with a range of microphones and audio tools to ensure everyone can hear and be heard—whether they're in the room or online. Explore how to use lapel mics, ceiling microphones, and audio settings to enhance clarity and engagement.

Ceiling-mounted microphones with Voice Lift enhance in-room audio clarity, ensuring better sound for everyone in teaching spaces. They also improve audio quality for online students in recordings, livestreamed sessions, and hybrid classes.

Seamless Audio Support Guide

Key features of the Dual Radio Microphones include: 

  • physical microphone transmitters, which are located on the lectern (each set consists of one hand-held and one lapel radio mic)
  • one extra wireless microphone channel allowing for two-way interaction between students and their teacher, increasing overall student engagement in a lecture class
  • clearer audio quality, providing students with a hearing impairment the opportunity for closer collaboration with their peers and teachers, and less hearing fatigue
  • option to capture the participants' audio or used as a second microphone for multiple presenters in Lecture Recordings+ and Hybrid Teaching Spaces.

Displays

Displays in teaching spaces enhance interactivity and collaboration, supporting both in-person and online students. Our rooms offer a range of display options that let you annotate content, monitor camera angles in real time, and connect students across physical and virtual spaces to enhance engagement.

The pod monitors in Active Learning Spaces allow students to connect their devices and display content. The video tutorial explains how to use the monitors to display content and how to connect your own devices.

The Collaboration mode allows students to share their laptop with the rest of the class. The content on their laptop will display to all other monitors in the room.

Wireless Pod Monitors enhance classroom collaboration by allowing students to share content from their own devices—ideal for presentations and group work. With wireless connectivity, students can connect from anywhere in the room.

Wireless Pod Monitors Support Guide

A confidence monitor is a screen positioned to face the presenter, displaying the camera feed. It allows presenters to maintain eye contact with the class while staying aware of what’s being shown. This setup is especially helpful in hybrid classes, recordings, and live streams, as it keeps academics informed about what online students are seeing.

Wall Display Screens placed around a teaching space ensure teachers and students can clearly see the content being projected to the screens at the front of the room, from any location they may be seated.

If you teach in the following rooms:

  • Room 1043 or G040 – Quadrangle Building
  • Room G17 – Law Library

You’ll notice that the main presentation display is a large monitor on wheels, rather than the ceiling-mounted projector found in most other teaching spaces.

How to Display Your Content

The process is very similar to using a projector:

1. On the AMX Touch Panel:

  • Select your preferred source:
    • Internal Computer
    • Your own device (connected via USB-C): tap More Inputs > USB-C Laptop

2. Select ‘Display on Monitor’ to send your content to the large screen. You also have the option to select ‘Display on Student Pods’.

Interactive Display Monitor

Projectors

Content can be projected to the class via the touch panel using the internal computer, a personal device, or the document camera. Learn how to project information onto single and dual projectors in the teaching spaces.

Hybrid Learning

Hybrid learning combines both online and face-to-face learning and teaching in one class, synchronously. It gives students greater flexibility around attending class in-person or online and aims to provide equitable learning outcomes despite their attendance modes.
