Additional Facilities

  • High definition (4K) webcam / microphone with a 90 degree field of view, and optional auto-tracking.

    Good for recording video presentations or presenting in meetings - the Obsbot can be set track and follow the main speaker. It is also good for joining small hybrid meetings (ie 3 or 4 people in a room joining an online meeting) due to the 90 degree field of view and quality of microphone.

    For use with a laptop or smart screen.

    Included free as part of any room hire, we also have some Obsbots available to borrow on a weekly basis: £10 per week, must be booked in advance.

  • For use in the library only.

    Compact all-in-one Video Bar with high definition (4K) webcam / microphone. Larger than the Obsbot webcam, the Studio X30 has a 120 degree field of view, and automatic group framing.

    The Studio X30 is good for joining medium sized hybrid meetings (ie up to 6 people in a room joining an online meeting), with automatic group framing and a 15ft microphone pickup range, offering a professional meeting experience.

    For use with a laptop or smart screen.

    Must be booked at least one week in advance - request the Studio X30 Video Bar when making a room booking. £20 per half day.

  • A laptop is available to use in the library free of charge.

    We also hire sets of 5 or 10 laptops for training courses, meetings or events. Laptop sets are for use in the library only and must be booked at least one week in advance, and as far ahead as possible to ensure availability. £50 per day for up to 5 laptops; £100 per day for between 5 and 10 laptops.
