IINOGENI’s multi-camera mixer enables the vast majority of multimedia classrooms to be set up in a hybrid learning environment at UNLV for meeting equity.

In response to the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) recognized the need to adapt its teaching methods and embrace hybrid learning. This case study explores UNLV’s journey in implementing multi-camera setups in its classrooms to enhance the remote learning experience and improve instructional delivery.

A historical problem and a new opportunity
When the pandemic hit, UNLV faced the challenge of transitioning its classes to remote learning. The university realized the potential of hybrid learning, which required the integration of room cameras and content to facilitate seamless interaction between in-person and remote students. Frank Alaimo, Manager of Classroom Technology Services, and Michael Theil, Senior Classroom Control Systems Specialist, spearheaded the project to implement a successful solution.

The solution: Multi-camera setups
UNLV identified the need for flexible multi-camera setups to enable instructors to share the same in-room experience with remote students. The AV team wanted to standardize these setups across various room types within the university. The College of Education’s computer lab was selected for a pilot project to make it exceptionally user-friendly for instructors. The chosen solution was INOGENI’s SHARE2 multi-camera mixer, which enabled the use of two HDMI cameras or content sources. The system leveraged RS232 control through Crestron touch panels, providing a user-friendly interface for instructors to manage the cameras and content.
