Typical
Configuration
 |
A typical Genesis
Select configuration consists of an instructor’s
workstation and several student workstations.
The instructor’s workstation may be as simple as a
computer, a
desk and
headset.
The student workstations may contain
computers,
desks, and
headsets.
Genesis offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing
you to have the custom features you need in your
unique environment.

How it Works |
|
 |
Genesis Select is a software-based classroom control
system. It runs on Windows Vista, XP or 2000
computers and communicates as a system over a local
area network.
Genesis Select utilizes unique multicasting technologies to
operate on a standard LAN, without burdening the
network. High-bandwidth data communication such as
screen broadcasts, video broadcasts, audio
communication and student grouping function smoothly
and efficiently.
All Genesis functions operate in real-time. When an
instructor clicks a button to broadcast a student’s
screen to the rest of the class, all the students
see that screen immediately and as clearly as if it
were their own display. A portion of the
instructor's interface is shown below. |
