Controlling the A/V System
Using the Touch Panel
The touch panel controls all AV functionality in the space
Turning the system on and off
The AV system will power on when pressing the start page on the touch panel. This will turn on the projector, lower the screen, and switch the panel to the main menu page.
To turn the AV system off, press the red Power Off button in the upper right corner. You will have 10 seconds to cancel the power off, then the system will shut down.
Source Selection
To change sources, select the input you would like to send to the projector. You may choose between Podium PC, Laptop, Doc Cam, Wireless Presentation (AirMedia), and Blu-ray.
Volume Control
Volume can be controlled using the volume buttons at the bottom of any page on the touch panel. The raise and lower buttons are on either side of the volume bar and the mute button is located in the lower left corner.
Projector Controls
The projector and screen will automatically power on and off/raise and lower with the system.
All essential functions of the projector and screen can be controlled via the Crestron touch panel, and should not require a separate remote. On the left side of the touch panel are options for A/V Mute, Freeze, and screen controls.
- A/V Mute will shutter the projector and raise the screen. Use this feature when you want to use the whiteboard or front of the room without shutting down the system. Please only use this feature for up to 20 minutes, otherwise it's best to shut down the system.
- Freeze will freeze the currently displayed image on the screen. Use this feature if you'd like to hold a frame still on the screen or use the podium PC for another activity without displaying it, such as checking your email.
Inputs
Using the Podium PC and Lectern
The computer placed on the podium is the primary source for this AV system. This computer runs the same image as all other podium computers in general fund classrooms and labs. You can sign in with your UCCS credentials.
Using a Laptop
The HDMI and VGA cables on the lectern are for use with a laptop. Connect your device and switch to the laptop input on the touch panel to project.
Using the Document Camera
Selecting the document camera source on the touch panel will route it to the projector. The document camera on the lectern is powered on by raising/folding it up.
On the top of the document camera are controls for zoom and auto focus.
Using the Blu-ray Player
Selecting the Blu-ray source will open the Blu-ray control page. Use this page to turn on the player, open the disc drive, and navigate through the disc menus.
The Blu-ray player is located at the top of the rack.
Microphone Input
There is a microphone input and output located on top of the lectern to the right. They are primarily for use with assistive listening systems.
The microphone input panel allows for two devices to be connected to the system, one for input and one for output. Both devices must use the XLR connections provided. Any microphone or audio input device connected to the input port will add audio to the system. This audio will be heard on the in-room speakers and the XLR output. The XLR output port will allow any connected device to receive all audio from a selected source and the XLR input.
Using Wireless Presentation
The AirMedia allows for wireless presentation of any device connected to the UCCS-Wireless network.
To connect to the AirMedia:
- Select the AirMedia source on the touch panel
- Open a web browser and enter the address listed on the touch panel or in the lower right corner of the screen
- Follow the instructions on the webpage to download the app to your device
- Enter the IP address and code to connect your device and start presenting
Screen Control
The controls to raise and lower the projector screen are located on the wall behind the lectern. The screen does raise and lower automatically with the rest of the system. You may use this function to raise the screen and use the whiteboard while the projector is on or you can utilize the A/V Mute functionality mentioned above.
