250 Duffield Conference Room
While this system is part of the general use Windows PC in the conference room, you can also plug the individual components into your own laptop (which depending on your OS, may require the additional download and installation of hardware drivers). If you wish to do this, please see CNF IT staff for help. Or, via a VGA video capture device and video mixing software, you can use the video out of your own laptop/tablet with the conferencing software installed on the in room PC.
All hardware is present in the conference room, however, not all cables have yet been run. Use of this conference system means temporarily string a couple of cables around the room. Please see CNF IT staff for help.
Hardware/Software in the room:
- Logitech BCC950 ConferenceCam at the rear of the conference room
- Logitech BCC950 ConferenceCam at the front of the conference room
- Epiphan VGA2USB video capture device
- ClearOne ChatAttach 150 USB Speaker/Microphone
- USB hubs to hook everything together
- Telestream Wirecast video mixing software
The VGA2USB must use the included USB cable and must connect to one of the USB hubs -- the VGA2USB is extremely sensitive to USB signal strength and quality.
As of November 2023, the CNF Conference Room AV has been upgraded to a Zoom Rooms setup with a DTEN75. Use the conference system by itself, wirelessly connect a laptop to share one's laptop display, or plug directly into the camera/microphone/speaker using USB and HDMI connections.
