Important Note for Enterprise Lite Users

This feature is to be used with in-campus audiovisual (AV) inputs. Hence, it is not available for LearningSpace Enterprise Lite, as the solution is used for web-conferencing-based virtual simulation encounters only. To unlock this feature, please upgrade to the LearningSpace Enterprise solution.

The Cameras tab contains the list of available cameras, DCUs and DAKs (Digital Audio Kits / speakers).

For more details, see How to Connect Cameras.

Camera Settings

The cogwheel in each row of a configured camera prompts the Camera Settings window to open, where the following settings can be specified:

  • Name - camera name for distinction
  • Autofocus - only for PTZ cameras: when checked, the focus is set automatically when using pant-tilt-zoom
  • Current position - only for PTZ cameras: a preset position that can be saved by typing in a title and then clicking the Add button

Once a new position is added, the 'Available positions' drop-down appears with a Go to and a Remove button, activating or deleting the selected position respectively.
  • Video size - resolution of the camera feed (See additional note on video size - aspect ratio - for LearningSpace NextGen Room View here.)
  • Quality - the quality of the camera image on a 10 scale (the lower the worse is the camera image, but the smaller is the recording size accordingly as well)
  • Audio source - the source of audio for the camera feed (if the camera does not have a built-in microphone)
  • Audio gain (dB) - volume setting for the audio source (built-in mic or selected source)
  • White balance - adjustment of the intensity of white color in the camera feed
 Normally, the 'Automatic' setting is optimal, it should only be changed under special circumstances.
  • Upside down - for ceiling-mounted PTZ camera types, checking this setting allows for switching the original (ceiling) perspective

Speaker Settings

The cogwheel in each row of a configured speaker (Digital Audio Kit, DAK) prompts the Camera Settings window to open, where the following settings can be specified:

  • Name -  Speaker name for distinction
  • Audio gain (dB) -  controls the sensibility of the integrated microphone of the speaker
  • Speaker gain (dB) - controls the speaker output volume
