Dear faculty and teaching staff,
During summer, IT made many enhancements to the audiovisual system in classrooms and lecture halls as follows:
- New projection screens upgrade in 6 classrooms and 5 lecture halls.
- The new screens are more suitable for High Definition projection.
- The new screen fabric offers improved color reproduction.
- The new screens offer brighter image with less distortion in locations affected by ambient light.
- Proper 16:10 HD video format matches the projector aspect ratio (no black bars around image).
- Sound improvement at 8 classrooms and 5 lecture halls. The older audio processors have been replaced with new DSP sound processors for improved audio quality.
- Full HD video conference systems installed at 4 classrooms (2147, 2052, 2035, 2049) and 3 lecture halls (1064, 1213, 1202).
- Lecture recording capabilities offered in 3 classrooms and 3 lecture halls (including “whiteboard recording” mode).
If you are interested in using video conferencing or lecture recording, please contact us at helpcenter@qatar.cmu.edu.
Thank you.
