WHAT YOU NEED For the Wexer Virtual setup, you need the following hardware: Wexer Player Projector Projector screen Audio system Internet connection (Relay box)1 *As an alternative to projectors and projector screens, some use multiple TV screens put together. Our recommendation is always, “the bigger, the better!” In order to better understand the functionality of the items listed above, a brief introduction is provided in the following.
is available, the player will automatically download it and store it locally on the hard drive. A constant internet connection is therefore a necessity. Wexer Virtual Basic Player Relevant I/O Ports 6 x USB Type A 1 x Mic-in, 1 x Line-out 2 x internet (RJ45) 1 VGA (DB15 Female) 4 x HDMI Power Supply 120W/19V ON DEMAND PLAYER The On Demand system combines pre-scheduling with the on demand functionality.
PROJECTOR The projector is the output device used to take the display from the player and project it onto a projector screen. The projector is connected to the player via VGA or HDMI. The Wexer Virtual relay box can control the projector and turn it on/off at any given time. Alternatively, a switch can be purchased to control when the projector turns on/off. PROJECTOR SCREEN The screen is used for displaying the projected image.
Both screens are available in different sizes, please contact your Wexer Virtual contact person for details. AUDIO SYSTEM The audio system is used to play the sound of the videos. The audio system is connected to the player via an audio cable. Most use a pre-installed audio system, whereas others prefer installing a new system meant specifically for the virtual training. Both will work perfectly fine.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW To illustrate how the above-mentioned items are connected, a technical drawing of the general principles of the Wexer Virtual system is included below: AV GUIDE To help you select the right hardware, we have outlined a few details and suggestions below: TV Projector Projector screen Minimum screen size TV wall (with a minimum of 4 screens) NA 3m (horizontal width) 1.
PREPARATIONS 9
INTRODUCING FIVE PREPARATIONAL STEPS Knowing what hardware you need and having chosen the perfect setup for your studio(s), it is time to start planning the installation. Below, we have listed five steps that will help you be fully prepared for installation. In case, you already have a projector and projector screen installed, only steps 1, 4, 5 and 6 are relevant but we do recommend going through all steps.
BASIC PLAYER Our recommendation: close/next to the audio system (allows staff to reboot the system if need be, power will typically already be accessible and it is easy to connect the audio cable) STEP 2: PLACEMENT OF SCREEN The considerations when placing a screen, be it fixed or motorized, are very similar. All considerations are listed below. WALL CHOICE We recommend placing the screen on the wall from which instructor-led classes are taught.
SCREEN TO PARTICIPANT DISTANCE For both your group exercise and cycling studio, we recommend placing the screen according to the below: For every 1 meter/3.25 feet of screen width, the front row of bikes or participants should be 0.7-1 meter/2.25-3.25 feet back. In a studio with a 3 meter/135 inch screen (Wexer Standard Projector Package Screen), our Installation team would typically suggest the front row of bikes to be approximately 3 meters/10 feet back.
is possible to get a high quality image even when placing the projector slightly higher. Information on how to do this can be found in the projector user manual included in the package. We suggest placing the projector according to the information in the Projection Distance Formula below: Projection Distance Formula Stan dar d High -en d Sc r een in c h Pr o jec tio n dis tan c e Sc r een in c h Pr o jec tio n dis tan c e 120 3.66-5.88m/144''-231'' 120 3.36-4.91m/133''-193'' 135 4.11-6.
STEP 6: CHECK YOUR CABLES You need the following cables to install the Wexer Virtual player: VGA cable (for the Basic Player, an HDMI cable will work too) Audio cable Power cable Internet cable The VGA/HDMI cable is to be connected between player and projector. The audio cable is to be connected between player and audio system (see System Overview above).
CABLING & INSTALLATION 15
READY TO INSTALL? A well-executed installation is crucial to run virtual training successfully. With that, our recommendation is always to go through all preparations listed above, to have professional people perform the installation and to make sure the installation team signs off on the Installation Confirmation (cf. app. 1). All hardware delivered by Wexer Virtual comes with Installation manuals.
Examples of two different On Demand Player installations: Installation with a hole drilled in drywall behind the player and the wires hidden in the wall Installation with a visible installation on the wall with the power supply hidden above the ceiling BASIC PLAYER The Basic player can be installed on any wall using the wall bracket included in the package. Doing so, simply requires mounting the bracket on the wall with four screws and then placing the player in the bracket.
2: MOUNTING THE PROJECTOR Depending on the choice of projector and the ceiling height in your studio, the choice of ceiling mounting will vary. Wexer Virtual offers two brackets: A standard ceiling mounting (for regular ceiling heights) An extended ceiling mounting (for ceiling heights of more than 5 meters – 16.4 feet) Both mountings come with manuals. When purchasing your projector and ceiling mounting from another party, make sure installation manuals are included.
An image fitted perfectly to the screen 4: FINAL ADJUSTMENTS Having followed the steps above, you are now ready to make the final adjustments. Make sure to turn the player on (IMPORTANT: do not turn on player before having installed the projector and screen properly). If everything is installed correctly, the player will start working immediately. Also, make sure to test the network connection to the player (log in to your Wexer Admin account and check the internet information in the top right corner.
