Model Number: Logitech PTZ Pro 2

This is a special type of webcam that allows the user to freely change the angle and other settings with a remote control. There is a feature called "preset position," which allows you to quickly switch camera angles such as "presenter near view," "presenter near view," "audience view," and so on. Furthermore, if you allow remote control in the Zoom settings in advance, participants on the Zoom side can freely move the camera in the classroom. Because of its multifunctionality, the system can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the ingenuity of the user. This is useful for classrooms that do not have ceiling cameras installed, where you want to relay realistic and moving video to the online side. The same thing can be done with a combination of Handycam and HDMI capture. In many cases, PTZ cameras are more convenient in that they can be operated by remote control or remotely from Zoom, but HD camcorders are easier to use when filming while walking, so it is best to use different types depending on the situation.

It can capture video. It is useful when you want to relay video with more realistic motion than a webcam to the online side of the room. The same thing can be done with PTZ cameras. While HD video cameras are suitable for filming while walking, PTZ cameras, which can be operated by remote control or remotely, are easier to use for filming pivoting from a fixed point, so it is best to use different types of cameras depending on the situation.

Model Number: SANWA SUPPLY 400-MEDI017

Used to use the sound from the microphones and other equipment at the venue as a microphone input for the PC. This is useful when conducting HyFlex classes in the "Medium Lecture Rooms" on the 1st and 2nd floors of the Research and Lecture Building. High-quality, noise-free audio captured by the classroom microphones can be sent to the online side. However, since the speaker must use the microphone, a speakerphone (eMeet or YVC-1000 depending on the size of the classroom) is better suited for classes where an unspecified number of people speak freely. It is advisable to use different types of speakerphones depending on the type of class.

Model No.: I-O DATA GU-HUVC, NAPA HDMI to USB Video Capture (higher-end model: for important events)

High-quality, noise-free audio captured by the venue microphone can be sent to the online side. However, since the speaker must use the microphone, a large speakerphone (YVC-1000) is better suited for classes where an unspecified number of people speak freely. It is advisable to use different types of speakerphones depending on the type of class.

The recommended number of in-person participants is 5 to 8, but two eMeets can be connected via cascade cable to extend the sound collection range to 10 to 16 participants.

Type: Stereo mini jack 1-piece type (14), 2-piece type (29), USB type (5)

These are headphones with a microphone. Unlike speakerphones, audio is not shared in the field, so even if participants are in the same room and connected to the same Zoom, there will be no feedback or other problems. HyFlex classes with speakerphones allow anyone in the classroom to share their comments with the online side of the class, but can cause howling if you try to mix in-person and online participants in a group work session. If all students bring their own PCs and each student wears a headset, group work can be conducted without howling.

Type: USB-C ⇒ HDM, Lightning ⇒ HDMI, Mini DisplayPort ⇒ HDMI, etc.

When slide materials created on a PC are to be displayed on a classroom screen, an HDMI conversion adapter must be used if the PC does not have an HDMI port.

Model No.

It is mainly used in classrooms that have a screen but no permanent projector, such as the "small lecture rooms" in the Research and Lecture Building. When using a classroom without a screen, it is convenient to project on a white wall or use a portable screen if you want to enhance the image quality. A special use unique to a university of foreign languages is to use two projectors at the same time, with the first projecting a movie or other image and the second projecting a subtitle created by the student (e.g., a slide document with white letters on a black background) overlaid on the first projector. Similar processing can be done digitally using a video mixer.
