AV Solutions for Education
What is AV for Education?
In today's classrooms and lecture halls, professional AV systems play a critical role in delivering engaging, high-impact educational experiences. Whether presenting multimedia content, sharing lesson materials across multiple screens, or ensuring that every student has a clear view of the material, a reliable AV setup enhances both teaching effectiveness and student engagement.
BZBGEAR provides high-quality, easy-to-integrate AV solutions tailored to the needs of modern educational institutions.
Key AV Equipment for Education
HDMI Extenders. Flexible and High-Quality Content Delivery
HDMI extenders are highly beneficial for classroom AV applications. They enable the transmission of high-definition audio and video signals over long distances, providing flexibility in equipment placement and ensuring signal quality. With HDMI extenders, educators can:
By improving the flexibility and reliability of content delivery, HDMI extenders enhance the overall educational experience, allowing students to engage more deeply with learning materials.
The example below demonstrates how a classroom can effectively use an HDMI extender in a lecture setting. By employing our BG-EXH-50C HDMI extender, the projector's placement is no longer limited by the maximum length of a standard HDMI cable. The setup is straightforward: the HDMI output from the source device is connected to the BG-EXH-50C extender, which transmits the signal over a CAT cable. At the projector's location, the extender converts the signal back to HDMI, ensuring a reliable and high-quality connection.
4K HDMI Matrix Switchers. Centralized Control for Multiple Sources and Displays
In educational environments where instructors need to present from multiple sources-such as laptops, document cameras, or media players – a 4K HDMI matrix switcher offers seamless control. Matrix switchers allow:
With a matrix switcher at the core of the AV setup, classrooms and lecture halls become more versatile, supporting a variety of teaching styles and multimedia content.
The example below illustrates how a classroom can benefit from using a matrix switcher. In this setup, our BG-UHD-42M matrix switcher is connected to four HDMI source devices. This allows any of these four sources to be routed to up to two HDMI displays, providing flexible control over which content is shown on each display.
Applications
Scenario:
- A university deploys a digital signage system to display real-time campus news, events, and emergency alerts across multiple buildings.
Solutions:
- Matrix switchers to distribute signage content from a central media server to displays in various locations.
- HDBaseT extenders for connecting distant buildings and floors.
- Signal converters to ensure compatibility between different display types (older monitors, new 4K TVs).
The example below showcases a flexible digital signage solution for a university. This setup uses our BG-MVS4X4-4KL matrix switcher to connect four HDMI sources, efficiently distributing the signals to multiple displays. For reliable long-distance transmission, the HDMI signals are extended via our BG-EXH-8KF fiber optic HDMI extenders, ensuring high-quality video over extended distances. At the display end, the BG-EXH-8KF delivers HDMI output directly to the screens. Additionally, this configuration highlights the flexibility of our BG-UHD-SCVEA, which converts HDMI signals to a legacy VGA format, enabling compatibility with older displays.
Scenario:
- A university lecture hall is designed to support large-format teaching sessions where professors frequently switch between content sources (e.g., presentations, video clips, scientific visualizations), and distribute them to multiple displays for students seated at different angles.
Solutions:
- HDMI splitters to duplicate the same content across multiple screens (front, side, overflow).
- HDMI over CAT extenders to connect distant displays while maintaining signal quality.
The example below illustrates a classroom setup using our BG-DA-14 1x4 HDMI splitter to distribute a single HDMI signal to four displays. Two of the displays are directly connected to the splitter via HDMI cables. For the other two displays, which are positioned beyond the reach of standard HDMI cables, the HDMI signal is extended using our BG-EXH-50C extenders. These extenders transmit the signal over CAT cable to the receivers, which then output the HDMI signal to the remaining displays, ensuring a reliable and high-quality connection over longer distances.
