How to Manage Cameras and Speakers


Important Note for Enterprise Lite Users

This feature is for use with in-campus audiovisual (AV) inputs. Hence, it is not available for LearningSpace Enterprise Lite, which is used for web-conferencing-based virtual simulation encounters only. To unlock this feature, please upgrade to the LearningSpace Enterprise solution.

The Cameras tab lists available cameras, DCUs, and DAKs (Digital Audio Kits/speakers).


For more details, see How to Connect Cameras.

Camera Settings

The cogwheel in each row of a configured camera prompts the Camera Settings window to open, where the following settings can be specified:


  • Name - camera name for distinction

  • Autofocus - only for PTZ cameras: when checked, the focus is set automatically when using pant-tilt-zoom

  • Current position - only for PTZ cameras: a preset position that can be saved by typing in a title and then clicking the Add button

Once a new position is added, the 'Available positions' drop-down appears with a Go to and a Remove button, which activates or deletes the selected position, respectively.

  • Video size - resolution of the camera feed (See additional note on video size - aspect ratio - for LearningSpace NextGen Room View here.)

  • Quality - the quality of the camera image on a 10 scale (the lower, the worse the camera image, but the smaller the recording size accordingly as well)

  • Audio source - the source of audio for the camera feed (if the camera does not have a built-in microphone)

  • Audio gain (dB) - volume setting for the audio source (built-in mic or selected source)

  • White balance - adjustment of the intensity of white color in the camera feed

Normally, the 'Automatic' setting is optimal; it should only be changed under special circumstances.

  • Upside down - for ceiling-mounted PTZ camera types, checking this setting allows for switching the original (ceiling) perspective.


Speaker Settings

The cogwheel in each row of a configured speaker (Digital Audio Kit, DAK) prompts the Camera Settings window to open, where the following settings can be specified:


  • Name -  Speaker name for distinction

  • Audio gain (dB) -  controls the sensibility of the integrated microphone of the speaker

  • Speaker gain (dB) - controls the speaker output volume
