ADENA Hack: How to outfit a basic classroom

Generally, when it comes to classrooms, a simple combination of a recording/streaming device, a tracking camera, and a microphone is sufficient. With a lot of classrooms moving activities online, it is also necessary to have a USB option, such as an HDMI-USB converter. Such setup ensures that a lesson can be streamed, recorded, as well as led through a video conference app, and that no equipment needs to be controlled beyond starting the recording and streaming process (and even that can be automated). Fortunately, with AREC you have all the necessary elements to achieve this setup. For example, you can combine LS-200 Media Station, CI-T21H Auto Tracking Camera (coming with AM-600 Wireless Positioner/Mic), and a RADA HDMI to USB Bridge. Or, if you want to have a mobile kit to record and stream from different places, try the Stay in Class set. Lastly, for the most cost-effective installation, consider LS-2, TP-100, CI-403, RADA Bridge, and our latest accessory, AM-01B. This device functions as an extension of your USB port and a receiver for the AM-600/AM-601 sound. Moreover, it works with Media Stations and computers.

Case Study: Basque Country University Successful Case

AVIT VISION (Distributor in Spain) in partnership with ADENA assisted Pais Vasco University with upgrading their classrooms to the highest standard by introducing AREC Systems for Recording and Streaming. Case of Pais Vasco University highlights the effectiveness of AREC Media Capture System in Education. A clever and cost-effective combination of TP-100 with KS-2 allows the university to stream all of its lectures online and spread the knowledge worldwide.

Basque country, a region of Spain, does not have a massive population. With only 2 million people living in the province, and competitive nature of modern education, it is important for all universities to have a way of attracting young bright minds to their campuses. When Pais Vasco first set out to create online, e-learning lectures, they found out that making them with just cameras did not allow students to see slides clearly, and caused audio to sound distant. Looking for remedies to this problem, Pais Vasco turned to AREC and was not let down. KS-2 Station allowed the University to mix their cameras and content into a clearly visible Full HD layout, TP-100 allowed to automatically track the speaker, and the University to record and stream every class to their internal VOD platform and YouTube. Most importantly, AREC solution does not require any IT background to use effectively. It was easy to introduce it to the teachers, since it can essentially be operated with one button via a compact remote controller.

Now Pais Vasco University is ready to take on the astounding e-learning market. Interested to know more about how AREC solutions can solve your task or projects? Contact us at www.a-dena.com and we will gladly arrange a presentation for you!

AREC in Swedish high-tech education conference

In news from Scandinavia, Austman Consulting (Distributor in Sweden) attends “Yrkeshögskolan Väst”, a high-tech education solutions show where AREC systems were presented to more than 80 education organisations. Among the attendees were some of the major Swedish universities, schools, and education centres, as well as other important contacts in education sphere of Sweden. Conferences like these demonstrate the ever-increasing need in professional and easy-to-use devices for lecture capture, and AREC is ready to please.

Austman Consulting organised a booth for all participants to visit and experience AREC Media Capture System. Among the devices shown were KL-3W, a 3 channel Media Station for simultaneous recording and streaming to two platforms, and also CI-218 on TP-100 - an 18x optical zoom network camera on an Auto-Tracking Scanner for professional capture of speaker and audience alike. AREC solutions are essential to have in education, since they are easy to use and make e-learning easily accessible to all. AREC solutions can also be automated via Scheduler, so that the system works only according to your plan. It improves user experience for both lecturers and students, since they do not need to approach the solutions at all.

With the conference end, attendees have much to think about, but can now see a clear way forward with AREC Media Capture System.
