[AG-TECH] Hursley AG Node - Room Design, please comment.

[Adam Koniak]

The node operator could have a muted mike that he turns on if there is a
need for communication and with locally reinforced audio it would work well.
I do like the idea of one way glass for the operator in certain cases, with
small groups it might seem intrusive to have an operator in the room at
times.  At our facility the node op oftne particpates in the sessions, but
for sites that don't require that sort of particpation, it's probably okay.
And, if need be, just pop a camera behind the glass.

Cheers,
Adam

  I think the one-way glass could be a problem. Very frequently the node
operator needs to interact with the participants, especially if there's a
problem (somebody's video window disappears, etc.) and the node op needs to
explain what's going on.

    Hi all,

    Thanks for all the feedback so far.  Below is the design I have have
come up with for our AG Node.  I am wondering what you all think of it, will
this work or am I going in completely the wrong direction :o).

    PS Please fogive using arrows as cameras.
