Proposed Design for CCTV-Enabled Instructional Development Hub for PUP OUS

Abstract

This study aims to design the facility for Polytechnic University of the Philippines –Open University System devoted for the creation of audio/video content thru recording the conduction of classes of the university’s professors to its students, then enhanced/edit to accumulate educational materials for future use. The facility is called “Instructional Development Hub”, this is a structure divided into two parts: the studio designed as classroom and the control room where all the captured audio and video materials, thru the capturing devices installed in the studio was recorded and saved. Based from reviewing documents online and manuals the studio designed as classroom was needed to be acoustically treated and soundproofed maintaining 35 dBa, while the luminaries to be used is recommended to be LED with Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) capabilities, to provide lamination with changing colour temperature and at least 150lx for the mean cylindrical luminance for the room. Also, based from the conducted interviews with the different control and command centres managers in Metro Manila such as Valenzuela City, Pasig City and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, this studio designed as classroom was intended to be installed with microphones to capture audio, and installed with pan/tilt/zoom closed circuit (CCTV) cameras to capture footages since these cameras are versatile and controllable from a remote area (which is the control room). Based from this study conducted this instructional development hub can be built starting from the estimated amount of 900,000.00 pesos and therefore the university should seek for fund sources or collaborations in order to implement the design from this study.
