Using the remote:
This room is controlled by a Crestron touch panel remote control located at the instructor station. To begin using the remote when it is in screen saver mode, simply touch the screen. To make selections, gently touch your selection.
Select
projector source: (See Table of Contents for source-specific
instructions.)
Use the circular icons located on the left column of the touch panel. In
order to switch between sources, simply touch the source you wish to
project. Both projectors will turn on automatically when a selection is
made. The source will be sent to the video projector and to the room
audio system.
Available sources: Instructor Computer, Laptop, DVD, VCR, Document Camera,
Student Computer.
Turning
the projectors on:
There are two projectors available for your use. Both projectors will turn on automatically when a source
is selected. By default, both projectors are simultaneously
controlled by your selections; however, they can also be used alone (see
step 5 for using projectors separately).
Turn
the projector(s) on manually:
Both projectors will turn on automatically when a source is selected. To
manually turn on the projectors, first find the Projector Controls
icon on the remote. This icon is located just below the room name. When
you touch the icon, the Projector Controls menu will appear. To turn on
the projector(s), simply touch Pwr On. This will turn on both
projectors and both screens will automatically lower. It takes a minute
or two for the projector bulb to warm up and display the image. Please be
patient. Press Close Window when you are finished with this menu
and are ready to select a source to project.
Using
Projectors Separately:
The
projectors are controlled together by default. In order to use the
projectors separately, touch Switch Separately on the top right of
the remote control, directly beneath the time indicator. The projectors
may now be used separately by pressing the Projector Controls icon
and pressing Pwr On. Projector 1 is the projector located on the
side nearest the main entrance to the room. To return to the default mode
and control the projectors together, touch the Switch Together
icon. Note that this icon is a toggle icon and will always indicate
the other available mode rather than the mode currently set.
Adjust
the screens (using the touch panel):
The screens will automatically descend when a source is selected, but you
may also each screen independently using the Screen icons located
in the Projector Controls menu. To move the screen up and down,
touch the SCREEN Up and SCREEN Down icons. The screen will
automatically stop when it is fully extended, but it may be manually
stopped at any desired point by touching SCREEN STOP. Press Close
Window when you are finished with this menu and are ready to select a
source.
Adjust
the room audio:
To adjust audio, use the Mic Volume and Prg Volume icons located on
the right side of the touch panel screen. (MIC= microphone;
PRG=program). To mute audio, press the X button.
