What is “CETS”?

 

Classroom and Events Technology Support or “CETS” is the UNT Health group that provides technology support for classrooms, meeting rooms, collaboration rooms and technology for special events, both on and off campus.

At UNT Health, this includes:

  • The “Crestron” systems in the classrooms that allow the presenter to select what their audience see and hear, all controlled from one touch panel.
  • Examples of additional AV equipment offered by CETS:
    • Projectors
    • Portable sound systems
    • Microphones
    • Document Camera
    • Easels/Flip-charts

Systems Supported  by CETS

  • Crestron Fusion – At UNT Health, Crestron equipment is used to integrate classroom technologies that typically operate individually, so they work together as a single system. Each CETS managed room equipped with a Crestron system can be centrally monitored, managed and controlled using Crestron Fusion. Fusion allows CETS to monitor projector lamp usage, unlock a podium touch panel, turn on/off  a projector/display remotely.
  • Visix digital door signage – These digital signs display a room’s reservations for the day. The data is pulled directly from the Events Management System (EMS) and displayed automatically.
  • Mersive Solstice – Allows users to wirelessly connect to the room display(s) with laptops, tablets, iPads and phones (iOS and Android).

CETS Basic Workflow

Data from the Event Management System prepares the CETS work schedule for the next day. Each morning, CETS unlocks podiums and sets up equipment needed for the day's reservations. During the day, CETS team members answer requests for help with technology. At the end of the day, CETS locks podiums and retrieves equipment that had been needed in reservations.
