Another odd-sized space is the
training room. This layout can
encounter common problems, such
as the presenter being positioned
in front of the screen blocking the
audience's view or the presenter
is blinded by the glare of the
projector lamp (Figure 6).
As in any presentation format,
it is important to be able to maintain
focus on the presenter, while
allowing every participant to see all
of the details on the screen. One
solution is to move from one central
display to dual displays. The presenter
can be in a neutral position at the
center as the focal point so that all
participants have a better view of the
displayed content.
The displays can be connected
with an HDMI splitter, possibly
in the podium, above the ceiling
or behind one of the screens. In this
setup, the connections are probably
within the reach of the HDMI cables,
but if needed, the signal can be
extended with the HDBaseT
extension as used in the "bowling
alley" example (Figure 7).
