securely send or receive uncompressed content from another classroom. The video is transmitted over the production LAN along with other traffic – true AV over IP.
In this way, any number of repeater screens can transmit or receive from any other, allowing students to broadcast across multiple screens and then switch back to the host display, for example.
Outside of the classroom, AV over IP facilitates distance learning, lecture capture, creating breakout spaces, live stream events and allows the helpdesk a live view of what is on-screen during a lecture.
Hybrid tools for higher education In higher education, collaboration tools are driving investment as hybrid learning looks to become the norm. Technologies that enable effective hybrid learning, such as UC solutions, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras and in-room audio, are now being brought together into all-in-one solutions to provide a high- quality experience for all participants.
Educational campuses need to ensure that students can learn and engage from different locations. Providing BYOD connectivity to any device, enabling an unlimited number of users to collaborate by simultaneously sharing content, desktops and application windows – all key considerations for a healthy digital transformation strategy.
Educating in high-resolution As higher education moves deeper into blended or hybrid learning, high performance AV should be at the core of physical learning spaces for a successful transition. High- resolution projectors and large-format displays, that show the minute detail of every image and piece of content, are now essential for ensuring all students – whether physical
or remote – can interact and engage with the subject matter in the same way.
Interactive displays can play a useful role here. Most are touch enabled and jump into ‘ready mode’ with a simple tap saving unnecessary set-up time. They also integrate with the most popular video conferencing software apps, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, allowing educators and students to easily connect and share ideas, no matter where they are situated.
We’re seeing more strategic partnerships between collaboration software providers, further strengthening the professional tools available for hybrid learning. Platforms such as Blackboard are being integrated with video-conferencing tools such as Zoom, facilitating real- time annotation and group ideation to make the creative process even more productive for students.
The future is now From attracting students and new talent, to providing support for students with impairments or integrating remote students, AV technology is key to the perception and user experience of every education facility.
As the roll-out of digital transformation strategies continues, decision makers must invest in robust technologies. Consulting with professional integrators is an important step to ensuring your AV will measure up, now and in the future.
Strive AV is currently offering a Buy Back Scheme for old classroom display equipment when upgrading facilities. To find out how Strive AV can support your digital transformation project - from AV design and integration, through to aftercare and AV asset management - visit the the website below.
