Hyflex Classrooms

Hyflex Classrooms

Hyflex classrooms are designed to enable both in-person and remote learning.

All Hyflex classrooms are equipped with an instructor-view camera and microphones for use in distance and hybrid learning. Most rooms also have a student-view camera.

*Note: No additional Hyflex rooms are planned at this time.

Equipment Key

Please consult the table below for the correct mic/camera/speaker choices for Zoom:

*Note:  Asterisk ( * ) indicates a room with a single camera.

Zoom Settings

Below are the camera and mic settings for Zoom in these classrooms. These settings are on a "per user" basis -- meaning every individual who logs in must make the initial selections for themselves. Please note, you should only need to set these up once.

Camera Settings

See available camera views by clicking the chevron ( ^ ) on the Video button:

Use the desired camera by selecting it in the list.

If the image appears distorted or blurry, click on Video settings... in the same menu.

Verify that HD is enabled, and Mirror my video is disabled:

If either is not the case, please contact IMS at x7374.

Microphone and Speakers

See available microphone and speaker choices by clicking the chevron ( ^ ) on the Audio button:

Select the correct microphone by consulting the table on this web page (above).

Speaker should always be set to either Dell P2418HT or HDMI splitter.

If you cannot hear remote students or they cannot hear you, see Troubleshooting below.

Document Camera

Each room is equipped with a USB document camera that can be displayed within Zoom.

After you've physically powered on the document camera, it should appear as an option under the Video button chevron ( ^ ) after about a minute:

Choose Lumens Document Camera, then physically adjust the focus/zoom on the doc cam itself.

Usage Instructions

Touchpanel Control

Each room is equipped with a touchpanel that controls the camera system. Click the Camera Controls button on the touchpanel and utilize the onscreen buttons to control the camera. Please refer to this .pdf which illustrates basic Touch Panel controls (PDF) .

Tracking

Enable the auto-track function of the camera to have it automatically follow you as you walk around the room.

Preset

Each camera has four pre-determined views that can be triggered via the preset buttons. These correspond to:

1. Closeup of Instructor Station.
2. Wide view of the instructor station.
3. Closeup of a whiteboard section.
4. Wide view of the whiteboard.

Manual Control

You can also manually move the camera and zoom in/out as needed.

Special Features

Dual Cameras

You can show two cameras in Zoom at once (Document Cam and Room Cam):

1. Select the Primary Camera (from the table above) to display as your video.
2. Click Share and then the Advanced tab on top of the Share window.
3. Select Content from 2nd Camera.

*Note: If the document camera does not show, press Switch camera in the upper left until video appears (make sure it is turned on first).

Remote/In-person Mixed Groups

The only way to pair a remote and in-person student within the same group is to have the in-person student use a personal device (laptop, phone) to join the Zoom meeting. You can then place them both in the same meeting room.

*Note: The in-person student must have their microphone and speakers muted anytime they are not in a meeting room, or their device will cause feedback.
