The Challenge

BPP University recently established a new branch campus, equipped with 53 classrooms, 15 offices, and 2 conference rooms. Numerous lectures take place throughout the day, spread across these educational spaces, which occasionally result in maintenance issues and complaints regarding the AV equipment in the classrooms. The school heavily relies on various multimedia devices, which are maintained by only a few IT personnel.

The school's requirement is to provide powerful and user-friendly audiovisual equipment. Educators should be able to make full use of the existing classroom technology without having to deal with complex and confusing operations during their lessons. Given the complex nature of the school's equipment infrastructure, there is an urgent need for a digital transformation and an IoT-enabled campus that centralizes device control through cloud-based solutions

IQ Solution

When it comes to creating an interactive and captivating learning environment, the combination of professional AV equipment can make all the difference. The IQ Smart Classroom solution offers interactive display technology that integrates computer functionality, teaching whiteboards, and audiovisual performance, allowing teachers to effortlessly share their presentations and visual content with students. Moreover, Network Media Processor (NMP), a highly integrated AV device, simplifies multimedia technology, saving valuable time that would otherwise be spent on complex audio or video system setups and troubleshooting. This type of equipment not only enhances the quality of teaching but also provides educators with a hassle-free, technology-driven experience.

It refers to the process of organizing and controlling access to devices in the school environment using IoT technology. In order to manage the devices in existing classrooms, the Network Media Processor NMP211-G-LU plays a crucial role in seamless integration with various AV devices including IQTouch HA1100 Pro interactive display,multimedia equipment, and control systems. Through the user-friendly interface on the touch panel, educators can easily manage all the devices in the room while keeping a close eye on everything happening in the classroom. With this level of integrated control through a centralized system, it establishes an IoT-based school that can efficiently manage all devices in a cohesive and effective manner.

As an mature solution for centralized control in campus IoT, IQ offers not just hardware integration but also software services. BPP's IT administrators can efficiently manage devices remotely using either the web Console or the mobile app. They can schedule tasks like powering devices on/off or distributing AV broadcasts, eliminating repetitive workloads. Additionally, the dashboard provides comprehensive device usage data, including status, maintenance history, usage frequency, and power consumption. With this web-based platform, IT administrators gain a holistic view of campus device management, saving time on data collection and enabling remote control of all devices connected through NMP and MBX, even from their homes.

In an era where hybrid work is becoming increasingly prevalent, having a robust video conferencing solution is crucial for successful boardroom meetings. IQ has implemented a secure digital meeting solution that includes IQTouch HA1100 PRO interactive flat panels, 4K IQMeet Camera CV810 PTZ cameras, IQSound SA200 soundbars, and the Wireless presentation system IQShare WP40, AHY200 video video conferencing kit, AVS200 video conferencing kit, and IQ speakerphone S500.This comprehensive solution enables seamless and high-quality remote collaboration during meetings, allowing employees in diverse time zones and work environments to engage in effective video conferencing with clear facial displays and crisp audio, ultimately enhancing communication and productivity.

The IQTouch HA1100 PRO interactive flat panels serve as the centerpiece of the solution, providing users with the ability to initiate their own meetings by wirelessly sharing the contents of their laptop or mobile devices without the need for any connection or preparation. The audio experience is enhanced by the IQSound SA200 soundbars, ensuring clear and immersive sound quality during meetings.

Furthermore, by combining the IQShare WP40 with the AVS200 video conferencing kit for bigger meeting room and AHY200 for smaller meeting room, users can effortlessly start a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) or Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) session from their laptops, allowing for remote participation and creating an immersive, interactive, and collaborative meeting environment. This eliminates the need for time-consuming pre-meeting preparations, enabling users to focus on the meeting itself.

The implemented solution by IQ provides a powerful video conferencing experience for boardroom meetings, facilitating seamless collaboration, and enabling employees to engage in productive discussions, regardless of their location or device.

IQ introduces the innovative concept of the "Divisible Classroom" solution, specifically designed for classrooms that require multipurpose applications. In certain school settings, there are adjoining classrooms that are separated by flexible partition walls. Under normal circumstances, each classroom operates independently with its own set of multimedia devices.

However, there are instances when the partition walls are opened, combining the two classrooms into a larger space for collaborative teaching. In this scenario, the teacher can still conveniently control all the multimedia devices, such as the IQTouch HA1100Pro interactive display panel and IQSound SA200 speakers, from a single Touch Panel through the Divisible Classroom Mode. This mode ensures that the audiovisual contents remain synchronized between the two rooms while offering a unified control system, simplifying the user experience.

By implementing the Divisible Classroom solution, schools can optimize the utilization of space, providing flexibility for different teaching scenarios. Whether classrooms are used independently or combined, teachers can seamlessly manage the AV equipment, fostering effective collaboration and enhancing the overall learning experience for students.

The Networked Media Processor (NMP) plays a crucial role in the Divisible Classroom solution by serving as both a media and control processor. It is installed in each partitioned room, allowing for independent control of various devices. This includes tasks such as turning projectors on/off, raising/lowering motorized projection screens, switching audio and video sources, adjusting audio volume, and even controlling door locks. The daily use of the classrooms is not disrupted, as all controls can be easily managed through a touchscreen interface with an intuitive layout.

When the partition walls are opened, and the classrooms are merged into one, the main classroom's NMP assumes complete control over all AV equipment, including the HA1100 Pro interactive display and SA200 soundbars, in both partitioned rooms. This enables the distribution of AV content from the main classroom to the displays and speakers in the secondary classroom. As a result, all displays and speakers can simultaneously play the same media content, ensuring seamless audio and video synchronization throughout the classroom.

Once the class is finished, the two rooms can be effortlessly restored to their original state with a simple touch on the control panel. This flexibility allows for easy adjustments to the extension and partitioning of the classroom, based on the school's immediate needs and arrangements. Overall, the integration of the NMP and control panel in the Divisible Classroom solution significantly enhances the utilization and adaptability of the available space, providing a seamless and efficient learning environment for both teachers and students.
