Education & Training Solution AV Solution
Education has evolved into a blend of in-person and online experiences. The StreamSync Education & Training Solution is crafted to support hybrid classrooms, live lectures, remote learning, and professional training sessions with top-notch AV integration.
Whether you’re a university deploying hybrid classes, a K-12 school enhancing digital learning, or a corporate training department creating engaging learning content, StreamSync provides the tools to make education more interactive, inclusive, and effective. Teachers and trainers can focus on teaching, not on fiddling with technology, because StreamSync simplifies the process of capturing and sharing content for learners everywhere.
From lecture capture to live Q&A sessions, every educational moment becomes more impactful with StreamSync.Picture a hybrid classroom: some students sit in a lecture hall while others join remotely via a video link. With StreamSync, the instructor isn’t limited to a single camera view or a basic screen share. Instead, multiple video sources can be combined – a camera on the instructor, another on the classroom to capture student questions, a feed of the instructor’s slideshow, perhaps even a document camera for showing a science experiment or a textbook – all into one coherent stream for remote students.
This means remote learners see everything as if they were in the room: the teacher, the whiteboard or slides, and the interaction with in-person students. Likewise, in the classroom, large displays can show the remote participants or additional content, so everyone feels part of the same session. StreamSync also enables lecture recording with zero extra effort – the same combined feed can be saved for later review, creating rich media recordings that students can revisit. For training environments, you can stream and record role-play exercises, software demos (by capturing the trainer’s screen via HDMI/NDI), and more, giving trainees a comprehensive resource that blends multiple content types in sync.
Key Benefits for Education & Training
Engaging Hybrid Learning:
StreamSync makes hybrid classes truly interactive. Remote students get a front-row experience; they can see the instructor and the classroom materials simultaneously, and even be brought on-screen when they ask questions. This level of engagement keeps remote learners from feeling like outsiders. Instructors can also annotate on-screen (highlighting a key point on a slide or solving an equation step-by-step visually), which benefits all students by combining the best of classroom teaching with broadcast-style production.
Seamless Lecture Capture:
Every class or training session can be recorded in high quality without separate setups. StreamSync automatically records or streams the combined views of a lecture, so you capture the lecturer’s explanations, the slides, and any on-board writing or demonstrations in one video. Students who miss a class or trainees who want to review later will have a multi-angle, content-rich recording instead of just a static slide deck or audio-only podcast. This leads to better understanding and retention of the material.
Simplified Classroom Tech:
Educators are not AV technicians – and they shouldn’t have to be. StreamSync centralizes AV control, so with one touch an instructor can start the class stream/recording and not worry about switching cameras or sharing screens manually. Automation and presets can handle common tasks (like switching to a document camera input when the instructor turns it on). By reducing the tech hassle, teachers can use more teaching tools (videos, physical demonstrations, guest speakers via video call) without fear, knowing StreamSync will seamlessly include those in the class feed.
Flexible Training Use Cases:
In corporate or skills training scenarios, StreamSync shines by enabling real-time content sharing and feedback. For example, in a sales training, you could have a live role-play between a trainer and a trainee (captured on two cameras), plus the sales script on screen and an instructor’s annotations highlighting good techniques – all combined for a remote group of trainees to watch live. This immersive approach can accelerate learning by showing multiple perspectives at once. The flexibility of inputs means any training content – slides, software demos, even an AR/VR view if output to HDMI – can be integrated.
Scalable for Campus or Enterprise:
A single StreamSync can serve a classroom, but an entire campus or training center can deploy multiple units for different rooms, all managed centrally. Because StreamSync uses networked AV, the infrastructure scales easily. There’s no need to run expensive proprietary video cables across buildings – just use your network. This makes scaling hybrid learning from one pilot room to dozens of classrooms much more cost-effective. And the consistent interface means once instructors learn it in one room, they can use any StreamSync-enabled room confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can StreamSync work with Zoom or Microsoft Teams for our classes?
Yes, StreamSync can enhance platforms like Zoom/Teams by acting as the hub that feeds them. Typically, you’d set up StreamSync with all your cameras and content sources, then use a capture device or virtual camera driver to send StreamSync’s combined output into Zoom as if it were a webcam. To Zoom, it looks like one participant (the classroom), but that participant’s video is actually a professionally mixed view of the whole class and content. This means remote students on Zoom see everything happening in class without the teacher constantly screen-sharing or moving a laptop camera around. It’s a more seamless experience for everyone.
Do teachers need to control StreamSync during class?
StreamSync can be very hands-free. Many schools set it up with preset modes that automate what’s shown based on the class flow. For example, there might be a “Lecture” mode where the slide content is big and the instructor camera is small, and a “Discussion” mode where the instructor and a student video are side by side. Teachers (or a technician) can switch modes with one button press on a touch panel or StreamSync’s interface. In simpler setups, the system can also auto-switch based on active speaker detection. Ultimately, the goal is that teachers spend minimal time interacting with the technology – they can if they want to do something custom, but it’s not required for the system to work well.
We already have projectors and some cameras in our classrooms – will we have to replace them?
Not at all. StreamSync is designed to integrate. If you have existing IP cameras, we can usually tie into those feeds. If you have HDMI cameras or other sources, they can plug into StreamSync’s inputs. The projectors/displays you have will connect to StreamSync’s outputs so it can send content to them. In essence, StreamSync becomes the intermediary between your input devices and output displays, adding intelligence along the way. You likely won’t need to replace major hardware – in fact, by leveraging what you have, StreamSync often increases their utility (for example, an old camcorder feed can now be not just shown in the room but also streamed/recorded).
How is StreamSync different from the lecture capture system we use now?
Traditional lecture capture systems often just record whatever is on the screen and maybe a camera feed of the lecturer, and sometimes they require using a specific software or hardware appliance per room. StreamSync is more versatile – it’s capturing everything (multiple cameras, devices, etc.) and it can live stream as well as record. It’s also interactive, meaning it’s not a passive system; it actively switches and arranges content to create a more engaging output. Many lecture capture tools don’t allow live mixing or annotation on the fly – they’re more like recorders. StreamSync is a live production system combined with capture. This means your recorded lectures look more like polished learning videos rather than static screen shares.
Can StreamSync support events outside the classroom, like a graduation or a school play?
Yes! While we talk about classrooms a lot, StreamSync is essentially an AV powerhouse that can be used for any school event. For a graduation, for instance, you could have multiple cameras around the auditorium, a feed of the presentation slides or student names, etc., all mixed for a live stream to family members who can’t attend. The same unit could then be moved or reused for a school play to mix audio from mics and video from cameras to create a great video recording or stream for the community. It’s a flexible asset – not tied to just lecture use. Schools and universities love that they can utilize StreamSync year-round for various needs, getting more value out of the investment.
