Facilitation of Multimedia and Computer Lab Spaces What is it? What’s in it? What does it do? What does it look like? What do I have to do to get it?
Pedagogical Aspects of Multimedia and Computer Lab Spaces When will it be used? How will it be used? Who will use it?
INFOCOMMSome Topics to be Discussedin Facilitation Part I • Planning for multi-variant media transmission • Selecting the distribution / delivery system • Media center requirements • Presentation hardware • Integration in the room/building 5 minute break
INFOCOMMSome Topics to be Discussedin Facilitation Part II • Computer lab integration • Consulting / documentation / commissioning • Sight and sound • The A/V awards - fill out cards
Things Having to Do With Video • What is a IEEE 1394 Interface?__________ __________ • Where will it be used? Multiple choice:Nowhere, Everywhere, Somewhere, orI Don’t Know Where • The simplest form of video? _________ video
Things Having to Do With Video(cont’d) • Another name for L, R/RGB(S)(home theater).__________ video • Another name for L, R, LS, RS, C, LF, RGB(S) (in home theater)_______ __.__output Hint: Sometimes a DB-25 pin output
Things Having to Do With Video (cont’d) • What you get when you add c to y?__-video • What happens when you try to put 800 x 600 resolution apps into most 600 x 480 LCD projectors? ___ video • What is synonymous with digital “video”?Digital __________ Disk (DVD)
The Past 100 Years • 1896-1940 Chalk and Talk/Lantern • 1940-1960 Paper (mimeo) • 1960-1969 Videolab Experimentation • 1969-1975 Transparency (slide/overhead) • 1975-1985 Video Transmission (RF) • 1985-1993 Audio/Visual/Telecon (limited) • 1993-1999 PC and room/building integration/distributed learning
The Next 100 years • 1999-2002 Experimental/increased media infrastructure - get wired/rewired…rewired • 2002-2007 Self-awareness/computer instruction (still 2-D) Computer Interactivity Syndrome (CIS) Home enrollment via authentication improvements • 2007-2013 General employment of 3-D, standards of media - universal pixel applications _____.PAP
The Next 100 Years • 2013 - ? • New sophistication in projection, real time, interactive, expert systems • Students handed Packeted Education Programs (PEP’s) i.e., two-way information programmed instruction/homework/testing • Multi-tracking of students in specializations
The Next 100 Years(cont’d) • 2013 - ? • Industrialization of education • Re-emergence of the “tech school” from research to manufacturing • Specialized curriculums - world population so great this leads to competitive environment where countries / populations are on educational par with one another
What Will Your Space Look Like? • Some slides of the history of media presentation and lab suites through Powerpoint
Defining the MultimediaResource Environment Classroom Roles • Classroom • Computer lab • Learning resources instructional lab • Multimedia lecture rooms • Writing center • Math learning center • etceteras
Defining the MultimediaResource Environment Specialized Rooms • Auditorium/lecture/music instruction • Technical resource center • Media resource suite • The help desk • Distance learning rooms • Conference/Presentation rooms
Defining the MultimediaResource Environment Support Spaces • File server/network/exchange • Internet/intranet point-of-presence(IPOP) • Media retrieval/digitizing/distribution center “Information Transportation Center”
Planning for Multi-VariantMedia Transmission • Multi>multimedia applications • Variant>varied transmission of media
What will you plan for? • Slides of real sites What’s in there? Fade to black for real slides
Multimedia and Multimediums • Smart lecterns • Smart classrooms • Smart buildings • Smart campus • Centralized vs. decentralized equipment • What is smart(?) is what is hip! • Today's “cool” is tomorrow’s “me too” • Design using the “elevator music” method
Smart Lectern Pack it in, pack it out • VCR, video overhead, PC, slide to video, switching, wireless mic, amp ... • Phone, tele/data, CATV, etc. ... • Projection? LCD, ceiling projector ... • Connections? Umbilical! • Uniformity and ADA accessibility • Decentralized
Smart Classroom In the closet approach • Make everything disappear • Multiplication of devices • Outboard equipment easier to add • Remoting of controls easier, as well as switching upgrades • Uniformity is key! • Decentralized
Smart Building As opposed to smart rooms ... • Centralized distribution of media through baseband, broadband, fiber or digital techniques • Rooms have wireless remote, keyboard, mouse, speakers, projector and as little or as much as desired
Smart Campus Main St. (Stream) USA • Digital networks, internet, library, server resources • Broadband CATV, mid/sub split coax … • Digital telephony • Analog/digital fiber distribution
Planning Aspects • Space • Utility infrastructure • Video • Audio • Remote control/switching • Tele/data • Lighting • Acoustics • The guideline matrix

Selecting the Appropriate Audio/Video Distribution and Delivery System
System Types Modulated Carrier • Analog • MATV • One-Way • Coaxial • Lowest cost
System TypesSub- and Mid-Split • Analog • Two-Way • Fixed frequency and frequency agile conv’s • Coax • RF, EMI, EMP, and grounding risks are the highest • “Drop-type” distribution cost is attractive • RGBS transmission impractical • Mods/demods & policing costly-example
System Types Composite and RGBS switched systems • Composite-computer inadequate • RGBS-wire intensive • an example
System Types Directional fiber • Fiber optics • Directional FO converters • RGBS, audio, data (all two-way) • Uses RGBS, L/R, RS-232/422 • Use cascaded YYxZZ, high capacity, high bandwidth, multiple cross point switcher • Highest quality, highest cost, superior application for real time, two-way transmission - an example
