Founded in Warsaw in 1951, the Military University of Technology (MUT) It is a public institution, dependent on the Ministry of National Defense, which is responsible for training the necessary cadres for the Polish Armed Forces. In addition to his military courses, offers civil studies in various disciplines.

To maintain the high teaching standards that place MUT graduates in the top positions throughout Poland and the EU, The university has implemented a Arec hybrid solution, what Seamlessly integrates with major unified communications platforms from the market, to offer an advanced educational solution based on AV technology.

The project has had the support Cont, distributor of Arec in Poland, and the systems integrator Awave, that has deployed a combined solution that includes technology from this manufacturer and other brands.

The new MUT conference room has the Arec LS-200 two-channel multimedia station, capable of record and stream mixed audio and video sources, while capturing individual video channels. Automatically perform a backup of all classes as soon as they take place, giving students immediate access to recordings.

With just one touch, Teachers can start and stop recording and streaming, switch between different camera views, play recorded videos, adjust graphics and much more.

MUT also uses two CI-T21H IR tracking cameras operating in ITT mode, which allows them track different positions within the same location. The presenter wears a neck positioner Arec AM600, so that it is followed by the first camera, while students asking questions use a microphone with a positioner AM-360 that tracks the second camera.

The main advantages of these systems lie in their ease of use and reliability. The positioners can be turned on and off with the push of a button and work right out of the box. Cameras exclusively track the positioners assigned to them and are not affected by hand movements or other interference.

The combined view from Arec station LS-200, brand that distributes in Spain AVIT Vision, is done with a video conferencing system that works like a webcam. Both devices allow the university to teach classes through standard and streaming conferencing platforms, ensuring remote attendees have an experience equivalent to those attending class in person.
