Video and Audio Conferencing with the Mac Mini and the large screen television
Video - 

The Vaddio PTZ camera works like a web camera connected to your computer, but it has its own remote that allows you to turn it on and off, rotate the camera, and zoom in and out. When you want to have a video conference using the Mac Mini computer and the large screen television, turn this on so that your remote conference participant can see you.

The remote conference participant will also want to hear you, so you will need to use the Revolabs wireless conferencing mics and speaker. If you don't start a phone call, the Revolab wireless mics work as if they were your computer microphone.  

  1. In the lower right cabinet on the side wall there is a pair of wireless microphones, a speaker, and a phone sitting in a charging base. Remove the microphones and the cylindrical speaker from their charging station. 
  2. The lights on the microphones and the top of the speaker should be green. If they are not, press the button on the front of each microphone until the light flashes green. This means that the microphones are receiving sound. To mute the microphones, press that button, and the light will turn red.  Place the two microphones on opposite ends of the table for maximum sound coverage.
  3. At the end of your call, please return the microphones and speaker to their charging station.
