Automatic Camera Switching for Capturing Classrooms

[rmavro]

Putting a fixed camera in the back of a classroom may not be enough because depeding on a camera operator may be impossible for every classroom -- and complex A/V control systems and tracking cameras are expensive.  Thankfully, most of what you need is already built in to a VBrick appliance.  Here is how to control cameras for live streaming and/or recording.

Another good use for this technique is a public presentation or town hall meeting with a mike set up for audience questions and comments. The mat could trigger camera 2 to record the questions from the audience.

Excellent!  I have a room where this can be used right away.  Are the pressure-sensitive mats supplied by VBrick or a third party?

VBrick is considering supplying the mats.  In the mean time, it's a 3rd party solution.  I'll post a link here ASAP where you can order mats at about $250 each (wired for VBrick use and ready to go).

Any update on the link?  I'd like to test these out.
