Lower Level Conference Room, also known as LL1, or LLCR, is the primary room used for large classes, events, and conferences.
A/V
The lower level conference room is equipped for video recording, audio capture, voice lift, livestreaming, video conferencing, and projection. Audio mixing is done automatically, but can be adjusted manually from the Crestron panel at the tech station. Video sources, displays, and recordings are also controlled from the same panel.
Note: All wireless audio devices must be registered with Greg Morrow at MTS to prevent crosstalk with other devices nearby.
Equipment
- Resident PC
- AV Bridge
- Two ceiling-mounted PTZ cameras
- Crestron DM Switcher
- Extron SMP-351
- Vaddio Controller
- Two Crestron control panels
- Podium HDMI and VGA-A inputs
- Four Shure Microflex gooseneck microphones
- Two Shure Microflex lapel microphones and body packs
- Four assisted listening devices
Procedures
See LL1 Event Procedures.
Outside Vendors
In special cases, an outside vendor may provide the videography for an event. The camera and operator are placed in the back by the center column. An audio feed is provided through an XLR cable which runs through the ceiling and to the center column. An HDMI extender can be used for video capture from the camera. As of June 2018, this HDMI extender does not have an input in the Crestron DM switcher. This is expected to change in the summer of 2018. Preferred vendors are MTS and Bay State.
Workarounds
When handheld microphones are needed, unplug the lectern microphone XLR and plug it into the Shure wireless microphone receiver. Use the lectern audio input for the microphone. Only one microphone can be used in this manner. Use a wireless gooseneck microphone to replace the lectern microphone if needed.
In case of audio system failure, run an audio cable down the left flank of the room, and set up a PA system in the front of the room.
In case of projection system failure, plug video source directly into the projector in the back of the room.
Deprecated Functions
Prior to July, 2017, the system was connected to the A/V systems in Hoffmann and Goldman to provide a video and audio stream for overflow. Overflow is now done by RTSP stream via the Extron SMP-351.
A document camera was provided for Prof. Kotz's fall-semester economics class. To allow him to switch between his laptop input and the document camera, the Crestron control panel was moved to the panel table for each class. Kotz no longer uses this document camera.
Upgrades
The Summer 2017 A/V Upgrade Project added new functionality, eliminated underused functionality, and updated equipment for modern production standards. Due to miscommunications with AdTech, certain requested functionality was missing, namely ceiling microphone voice lift and seamless video switching. These issues are expected to be resolved with a new upgrade project to be completed in the Summer 2018 A/V Upgrade Project.
Privacy
To protect student privacy, the seats located along the back right wall of the room are in a no-film zone. Camera operators must not film this area.
