Audio/Visual Equipment
The William Maul Measey Institute for Clinical Simulation and Patient Safety (ISC) is comprised of two areas--Clinical Simulation and Clinical Skills. By design, each area has specific features. All rooms have wireless internet connection available. A total of fifteen Dell laptop computers are available for student/faculty use.
Clinical Simulation
All simulation rooms (107A, 107D, 115) contain ceiling mounted video/data projectors and screens as well as computer/video interfaces. Simulation room 107A is equipped with three pan/tilt zoom cameras for viewing or recording. The operation of the A/V equipment occurs remotely via the control room.
The control room houses the operating system for AV production.
- Simulation rooms may be combined or separated for use. Example: In the "Combine" mode the source viewed in room 107A is transmitted to the other displays and audio systems in rooms 107D and/or 115. This mode allows remote viewing of a live simulation outside the control room.
- This room also contains a one way glass viewing window into room 107A for direct unobserved observation.
The following equipment is available for use in any room.
- Multimedia carts with casters, lockable doors and vented back panel, XGA video projector, Hi-Fi VHS/DVD/deck, cables, cable extensions and connections. The equipment is operated independently of the control room operating system.
- HH and Body pack combo wireless mic system
- Floor stand and mic adapter
- Table mic stand with adapter
Clinical Skills
Each of the 10 clinical skills examination rooms is equipped with a fixed position and direction video camera linked to a DVR. Additionally, the rooms contain a microphone and 3 headphone jacks for audio monitoring a program via the outside corridor. Data collection is done via hand-held PDAs and then uploaded to a laptop.
