Introduction of each equipment

※ PC is not installed. Please prepare separately.

A: Electronic blackboard

  • This is the same model as the electronic blackboard installed in the Research and Lecture Building on the Fuchu Campus.
  • Please refer to the following page for usage instructions.
    See also.electronic blackboard

B: PressIT

  • This is the same model as PressIT installed in the medium and large lecture rooms of the Research and Lecture Building on the Fuchu Campus.
  • Please refer to the following page for usage instructions.
    See also.PressIT

C: Conference video bar (AVer VB350)

  1. Connect the C cable (Video Bar) at the bottom of the electronic blackboard screen to the PC used for Zoom and other applications.
  2. Microphone, camera, both built in.
  3. Automatic voice tracking function is available. It can be used by turning on the voice tracking by remote control operation.

D: Sound system (Yamaha YVC-1000, others)

  1. Connect the D cable (Sound USB) at the bottom of the elevating desk with the sound system to the PC used for Zoom or other applications.
  2. Two types of microphones are available: omni-directional and wireless. Depending on the content of the class or event, the following applications are possible
    • For fast-paced, unspecified speech: omni-directional sound harvesting microphones
    • If you want to bring your voice online with the highest possible sound quality: handheld microphone
    • Both can be used at the same time, but on the online side, there may be a slight doubling of voices. The omni-directional microphone can be muted (voice OFF) with the mute button in the center of the handset, and the handheld microphone can be muted (voice OFF) with the switch in the hand, so the sound quality will improve slightly if the voice is turned OFF while not in use.
  3. An omni-directional sound harvesting microphone is also built into the C conference video bar. It does not matter which one you use.
  4. Speakers are also built into the conference video bar in C and the electronic blackboard in A. Choose whichever you prefer for your PC or Zoom's audio output destination. It does not matter which one you use, but it is common practice to have the microphone and speakers on the same equipment.

E: PTZ camera (AVer DL30)

  1. A PTZ camera is also built into the C: Conference video bar fixed above the electronic blackboard, but if you want the camera to move freely within the classroom, use the E: PTZ camera.
  2. Please use presets 1 to 9 on the remote control freely.
  3. When both C: Conference video bar (AVer VB350) and E: PTZ camera (AVer DL30) are connected to a PC, it is possible to switch between cameras on the Zoom. In this case, the shortcut key in Zoom, Alt + N, can be used to quickly switch between cameras without using the mouse. (However, this may be somewhat inconvenient for notebook PCs and other PCs with built-in cameras, since the built-in camera will also be included in the switching target.)

F: Conversion adapter

  1. We have prepared conversion adapters of commonly used types in advance. However, not all adapters can be used with all terminals due to compatibility issues with PCs, etc. Please prepare your own adapters as much as possible.
  2. Please be careful not to lose or take them home.

G: Extension cable

  • USB-A (3m): Can be used when the cable length is not long enough for connection to a PC.
  • USB-C (3m): When connecting a PC and A: Electronic Blackboard with this cable, both video and touch operation can be completed with a single cable. (When ※PC supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode)
  • HDMI (3m): HDMI cable can be extended when used with conversion adapter F2 (HDMI Extension).

Restoration (photo)
