Room control

Extron

In evaluation

The room's own control panel cues the camerawork. The recall path is being confirmed.

In an Extron room the control processor is the single thing the occupants touch, and every extra system on the wall is a system somebody has to be trained on. The design keeps that discipline: a preset recall from the processor becomes the cue for prepared camerawork, and the room's operating habits do not change. That recall path is being confirmed in a working room, and this page carries the result when it lands.

How it connects

The control processor recalls a camera preset over the control network, and the software reads that recall as a cue. Your existing control program keeps its structure.

What it does

When this path is confirmed, a preset recall from the Extron processor cues prepared camerawork, so the room starts the way its occupants already know.
When this path is confirmed, the room's operating habits do not change. The control processor stays the single thing people touch.
When this path is confirmed, your existing control program keeps its structure, and camerawork joins it as one more thing the room recalls.
When this path is confirmed, a central AV team can give many rooms composed coverage without adding a surface anybody has to learn.

What it does not do

It does not run today. The recall path is in evaluation and is being confirmed in a working room.
It does not replace the Extron processor, its program or its panel. Lights, displays and sources keep running exactly as they do now.
It does not sit in the video path. Your capture or meeting system takes the camera pictures on the same input it uses today.

Setting it up

Describe the room

Tell us the processor, the cameras and how a session starts in the room today. We tell you where the evaluation stands and what the room can run now.

Compose and rehearse the coverage

Your AV team composes the shots and moves the room needs and rehearses them before term or before the first meeting. Today the camerawork starts from the computer running the software.

Connect the recall when the path closes

When the path is confirmed, a camera preset recall from the processor becomes the cue for the prepared camerawork. The room's program keeps its structure.

Questions

Can an Extron processor cue the camerawork today?

Not yet. The recall path does not run today. It is in evaluation in a working room, and this page carries the result when it lands. Until then, start the prepared camerawork from the computer running the software.

What does the person in the room have to do?

The design keeps that the same as today. They start the room from the panel they already use, and the recall brings up coverage your AV team prepared in advance. There is no second system to learn or forget.

Will our control program change?

The design reads a camera preset recall the processor already knows how to send, so your program keeps its structure. Your integrator confirms the detail when the evaluation closes and the path is described on this page.

Does this work with lecture capture?

Yes. The software drives the cameras and leaves the capture path alone, so Panopto, Echo360 and the other systems that record your rooms keep their inputs, schedules and settings. What they record is composed coverage.
