Education Technology for Teachers

With the emergence and explosive growth of remote learning and online classes, schools and universities are under increasing pressure to find better ways to reach students. Chief among these new methods is teaching with video cameras. In addition to remote learning, educators are finding massive benefits in bringing technology into the classroom. Instructors need reliable devices with hassle-free operation to better focus on their work. BZBGEAR is proud to offer the solutions that help educators make their maximum impact.

How can classrooms benefit from the latest AV technology?

Schools and universities are increasingly adopting smart boards into the classroom to provide a more interactive and dynamic learning experience. As the world moves towards paperless schools and workplaces, the ability to share content between students and teachers is critical. Presentation hubs help consolidate multiple devices into one easy to use solution. Integrated casting services allow teachers and students alike to easily share screens using Airplay or Miracast. Cameras have become vital in the world of online education, but with so many choices it can be difficult to make a decision. With cameras specifically tailored to the education sector, BZBGEAR makes the choice easy!

Auto-Tracking and PTZ Cameras

BZBGEAR has multiple cameras ideally suited for educational environments including the budget-friendly BG-VPTZ-HSU3 PTZ camera and the auto-tracking BG-MAESTRO. With their sub $1,000 price points these cameras fit well in large-scale deployments. Both cameras are also designed with a compact footprint making them an easy choice for installations with space constraints.

The MAESTRO auto-tracking camera is the perfect solution for wide classrooms and lecture halls. Once configured, the camera can track an instructor’s movements between whiteboards and demonstration tables. In a lecture hall environment, the camera automatically zooms and covers the subject’s movements across the stage, creating a dynamic and engaging experience without the need for a camera operator. IP streaming and USB 3.0 connectivity provide support for all major conferencing and social media platforms.

The BG-VPTZ-HSU3 provides outstanding image quality with its high-grade optical zoom lens and components. With the ability to be controlled with a remote, a web browser, or a joystick controller it is flexible enough to support both single and multi-user operation. With the use of the preset function multiple camera angles can be stored and recalled at the press of a button.

Extend Control to Another Classroom by Implementing a KVM Extender

Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) extenders are a convenient way to view and control a computer from a remote location. These devices typically utilize category cable or fiber optic connections to transmit video and control signals. A KVM extender allows computers to be placed in a secure location where they can’t be tampered with, ensuring connections aren’t disturbed and the system is always ready to operate. In addition to device security a KVM Extender also helps maintain a clutter-free environment, helping to eliminate distractions and keep the focus on the lesson at hand.
