Operation of Distance Learning Equipment  
   
Show & Tell!
  • System

    • Equipment must be on and ready for a call before we can connect.

    • Check that the television is on and the volume is up about 1/3 of the scale.

    • Multiple microphones should be spaced at least 4 feet apart for best sound.


  • Camera (Learn to Pan, Tilt, and Zoom)

    • Be seen. Appearing On-Camera includes you in the conference.

    • Zoom-In because Close-Ups make everyone easier to see and understand.

    • Avoid ceiling lights, the auto iris will over-compensate and reduce clarity.


  • Microphone (Learn to Mute and Un-Mute)

    • Keep muted, except when you need to speak and mute again afterwards.

    • Un-muted, any sound made will switch to and show your camera to everyone.

    • Coughing, rustling, tapping or bumping sounds are transmitted.

    • Sit within 10 feet of the microphone to be heard.

    • If someone cannot hear, you must speak louder and move closer.


  • Delays (Due to compression during transmission.)

    • Pause after you ask a question.

    • There will be a short delay before your question is heard.

    • Allow a little time for someone to hear and answer.

    • If you speak again too quickly, it will interrupt them and delay discussion.


  • Need Help? Please ask us--we want to tell you how it’s done.
