   1. Panopto
   2. Crestron HD Recorder

    

   Instructor Stations

   Instructor stations should be large enough to be functional without feeling cramped, and have an adjustable height surface.

   There should be an HDMI cable with an adapter ring and an Ethernet cable for laptop connections. There should also be two electrical outlets easily accessible from the top of the work surface.

   If there is a dedicated computer in the lectern, the USB ports should be easily accessible either from the front of the computer or from USB passthrough ports in the top of the work surface.

   Equipment should be rack mounted in the instructor station with security screws. Any equipment with buttons should have a security cover if it is not meant to be user adjustable.

   Each instructor station should have four network jacks: 1 PC, 1 laptop, 1 Crestron, and 1 for future use.

    

   Lighting

   Lighting directly in front of the projector screen must be able to be turned off by a switch near the instructor’s station.

    

   Networking

   Audiovisual Cables

   All audiovisual equipment connected to Cat 5e/6 cables should use green cables to distinguish them from network cables.

    

   Switches

   Network wiring should be home runs wherever possible. The BSU network manager must approve any switches being used in the podium. Computers and Crestron equipment cannot be plugged into the same switch, since they are on different VLANs.
