Ghent Mondopad Setup - Community Room

The Mondopad (also known as the Zoom/Video Conferencing Station) is a transportable system that enables internet conferencing. It consists of a mounted computer and remote controlled pan-tilt camera, keyboard and mouse, TV, bundled ethernet cable, battery powered speakerphones that can play and record sound, and charging cables to charge them.

Another one lives in the Student Center and is stored in the closet of the Student Center Auditorium. If your event is in the church building, please use the one stored in the church building.
