B2.13

B2.13 is a lecture hall situated on the first floor of Building B2.

Lecture halls are characterised by a large capacity, pitched floor, which ensures good visibility even with a large number of attendees. In addition to lectures for a larger number of students, they are also suitable for conferences, guest lectures or faculty events for the public.

The lecture room is equipped with microphones that can be used both for recording and for amplifying the lecturer’s voice. (The sound from the microphones is sent to the speakers in the room.) Two headsets and two handheld microphones are available in charging stations directly at the desk. If necessary, it is possible to prepare two more headsets and two handheld microphones in the room. All microphones can be switched on at once. You can adjust the volume of the sound output from the microphones using the control panel. You can adjust the volume of the microphones and the volume of the sound played from the currently selected input independently of each other.

The lecture room offers two large-screen projection modes. In the cinema mode, the image is projected across the entire width of the screen, in the lecture mode, the image is projected from two separate projectors, and you can select a different input for each of them.

You can present images and sound from a PC located on the desk and also from your own laptop connected via the HDMI or VGA connector. Connecting cables and electrical sockets are located under the metal cover at the top of the desk.

The lecture room also allows wireless presentation of image and sound from your own Apple device (iPhone, iPad, MacBook) by connecting to Apple TV via AirPlay. You can present an image from your device without being tethered to one place in the room, and you can have your students make presentations as well.

You can project the image of physical objects (exhibits, drawings, books, etc.) using a visualizer located on the edge of the desk. Raise the visualizer arm, place the object under the camera lens and press the DOC CAM button on the control panel. You can control the camera (zoom in, focus) using the buttons on the visualizer arm.

In the lecture room, you can use the lecture recording device, which allows you to easily record your lecture. To make a recording, log in to the PC and press the Start Recording button on the control panel – pressing the button again will end the recording. The recording contains both the image from the camera in the room and the image projected through projector. You can pre-check it using the Stream Preview icon on the PC desktop. You can find the finished recording in your personal category in the Faculty Media Library; you will also be informed via e-mail about the processing of the recording.

For sufficient sound quality, it is advisable to use a headset or handheld microphone.

The recording camera and wireless microphones can also be used in video conferencing applications, for example for hybrid teaching purposes. Follow the printed instructions in the room to set up the device correctly in the video conferencing application.
