Last Month

  • Good progress on the installation of additional audio capabilities for 200 rooms across the campus.
  • This will allow the room microphone to be used through the Room PC, as well as through Media Hopper Replay.
  • Preparation is being made to install 30 rooms at level 2, which will include the camera ( as well as audio) being routed through the room pC as well as Media Hopper Replay.

Issues

  • The main issue is that there is no solution available at level 1 currently to capture non-presenter audio.  For example Catch Box microphones were removed from rooms for Covid reasons.  Without the ability to capture non-presenter audio the use cases for Hybrid are very limited.  The team are working to bring this capability to rooms as soon as situations allow.

Next Steps

  • Complete the installation of assigned level 1 and 2 rooms before the start of term.
  • Work with health and safety teams to explore the re-introduction of Catch Box.
  • The initiation of a campus Hybrid User Group to share knowledge.
