ProAV Divisible Space – Zoom Help Center

A Divisible Space can be designed with a number of different configurations. In this standard design we will show a side by side configuration as well as a multipurpose configuration. The most important aspect of integrating a Zoom Room into a divisible space is a seamless room status indicator. A control touch panel with a manual entry for the divided/open state is not desired. There should be no guesswork as to what state the room is in.

A partition sensor will be utilized to dictate the state of the room rather than a secondary touch control panel.

The environment will be a two-output environment distributed throughout the space with two 86" primary displays showing video participants and content. A pole mount with two 55" confidence monitors will show the same content and video participants.

On each side of the divisible wall, both rooms A and B will have the same experience. The audience-facing camera will be mounted below or above the the primary displays, and the presenter-facing camera will be mounted below the confidence monitors to replicate eye contact with the presenter. The wireless presenter microphones will be the primary audio for voice lift in the space and Zoom input audio. Any audience questions or comments will be captured by the two ceiling microphones on that side. Zoom audio from the far end and content share will be heard over six ceiling mounted speakers per side.

When the divisible wall is opened, a switch will be triggered by the wall dictating the state of the room. The Zoom Room computer and iPad for room A will now be distributed throughout the space. All four ceiling mics and four presenter mics will be fed to this Zoom Room. The output will go to all twelve speakers in the space. Video from this primary system will be replicated on the displays in the second room.

Notes:

ProAV room requires certified ProAV integrator or Zoom PSO to design and deploy.
