The use of the auditorium should be broken down into levels of requirements and knowledge. What I mean by this is there are some people that only need simple teleconferencing and then there are those that need LAVs, house mics, etc. The first group should be able to use the auditorium with just polycom equipment (the cameras and a polycom phone).

• We need a polycom camera unit with a hub so more then one site can "dial-in" to the auditorium

• Shure MicroFlex Overhead Microphone (MX202WC) $208.00
  Mount two of these on the ceiling pointing twords the house, each about 7 feet from centerline, to pick up more audience.
• Shure EZB/C Boundry Microphone $109.95
  Mount two of these on the ceiling to pick up more audience.
• Shure EZO/W Overhead Microphone $109.95
  Could mount two of these twords the front to pick up principles.
• Shure SM89 Shotgun $672.50
  Could be mounted at the rear of the room to pick up principles.

• KODAK Ektagraphic Remote $205

Max length for S-Video is 60 feet. The max length for Coax is 100 feet.

• Y splitter for S-Video (to connect polycom to proj and house right mon) Apparently this is not recommended with svideo. I tried one and the video quality was noticeably degraded. So I went with a powered splitter box like this...
• S-Video Splitter Box $160.00

• Sony SB-V55A $49.95
• Sima SVS-4D $114.95
• JVC JX-S111

• Sony SLV-D100 $249.99
  • 2 Qty. 6 foot Stereo RCA audio cables $20.00
  • 2 Qty. 6 foot Composite video cables $20.00

• Which Connector?
• Compenent Video
• Audio for Distance Learning

Max length for S-Video is 60 feet. The max length for Coax is 100 feet.

The polycoms have an aux input for things like a VCR. Could we use this to pipe the computer monitor directly to the polycom?
