The Innovation Studio, room 011 in the basement, has a different teaching station setup then the standard classrooms (117, 021, and 018).

The main variance in the classroom teaching station is that The Innovation Studio does not have a primary tower with a Local PC, DVD Player, and Document camera, instead the teaching station is only two panels, the Input Selector and the Video input panel, which are explained below.

Overview of Standard Classroom Setup

At the front of the room, you will see the Projector, Camera 1, and the Teaching Workstation.

At the back of the room, you will see Camera 2.

These HDMI ports work together with the Extron system's 5 alternative HDMI inputs.

Teaching Workstation

The teaching workstation consists of multiple parts which allow you to control the classroom. The teaching workstation sits on wheels allowing it to be mobile.

In the picture above, you will see the following:

Extron Control Panel: Allows you to control the monitors, inputs, lights, and cameras
External Inputs: Allows you to connect a laptop or other device using VGA, HDMI, or Ethernet
Wireless Mouse: Allows you to control presentations wirelessly
Wacom Touch Screen: Contains a stylus that allows you to easily annotate presentations and other materials
