Broadcast Solutions for Hybrid Learning in Education
What is Hybrid Learning?
Hybrid learning takes advantage of AV (Audio-Visual) and broadcasting solutions for education in order to empower schools, universities, and training centers to deliver engaging, interactive, and effective learning experiences. From seamless content sharing and hybrid classrooms to high-quality lecture recording and campus-wide video distribution, modern AV/broadcasting technology transforms the way educators and students connect.
BZBGEAR offers reliable, easy-to-use systems that support both in-person and remote learning environments.
What Equipment is Used in AV for Education?
Key components of an educational AV system include:
Applications
Scenario:
- A university needs to upgrade classrooms for hybrid learning, allowing in-person students and remote participants to interact seamlessly.
Solutions:
- PTZ cameras for capturing instructors and whiteboards.
- USB capture devices to stream content to platforms like Zoom, Teams, or YouTube.
- Matrix switchers to route between instructor laptops, document cameras, and media players.
- HDBaseT extenders to simplify cabling from instructor desks to ceiling-mounted projectors.
The examples below illustrate a fully optimized classroom setup designed for seamless lecture streaming through Teams or other video conferencing platforms. This setup features two BG-VPTZ 1080p PTZ cameras connected to the BG-8K-HS21 2x1 matrix switcher, allowing effortless switching between camera angles with a single button press. This ensures smooth and professional transitions during lectures. The selected video feed is then directed to the BG-CAP-HA capture device, where it is converted for recognition as a streamable source on the connected PC via USB, providing a reliable and high-quality streaming experience.
Scenario:
- A college auditorium hosts guest speakers, ceremonies, and performances that must be recorded and streamed in high quality.
Solutions:
- Multiple PTZ cameras for multi-angle video coverage.
- Camera controllers for easy management of multiple cameras during events.
- Signal scalers to match varying display formats (large LED walls, monitors, projectors).
- HDBaseT extenders for long-distance signal transmission to control rooms.
The example below demonstrates a versatile setup for a school auditorium, featuring three BG-UPTZ 1080p cameras. Each camera is powered and controlled using a single CAT cable, ensuring a clean and efficient installation. Camera control is managed through the BG-Commander-JR, providing intuitive and precise multi-camera control. Video signals are transmitted via BG-EXH-70C4 HDBaseT extenders to the BG-Quadfusion-JR production switcher, delivering high-quality video transmission over long distances. The BG-Quadfusion-JR offers an HDMI output for real-time monitoring on a control room display, while its USB output connects to the streaming controller, allowing for seamless, high-quality live streaming.
