Overview

This solution allows you to simultaneously connect the teacher's camera and the PowerPoint (PPT) presentation.

Through simple touchscreen controls, teachers can switch between the camera, PPT, and side-by-side view, making the teaching content available for online students. This system aligns with the education department's blended teaching approach, seamlessly integrating physical classrooms and online learning without altering the teacher's original teaching style, creating an interactive and efficient learning experience.

Graphics and Images for Key Icons for Easier Identification

Switch rapidly between your presentation and the camera input or overlay a PIP window on the program video. You can also swap between the program out video and the PIP image, thereby enhancing the quality of your presentation.

Using a real image as your key icon allows you to easily identify the camera view that is saved in the key. You can capture camera images and save them as thumbnails which are in turn applied to icons of shortcut keys on the Home screen, simply pressing the thumbnail will send the PTZ camera to the pre-saved position.

In addition to image keys, you can use the device's built-in graphical. Icons for better identification. We've pre-loaded hundreds of these icons on the device for intuitive operation.
