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.
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 Vaddio/Hyflex VTC System
The wall-mounted camera can be controlled using the touch panel. To access the controls, first select the camera icon in the upper right. These controls allow you to zoom in and out and change what the camera is fixated on. The presets may be saved for frequently used camera positioning.
This system is only connected to the podium PC and will show up as a USB webcam named "EasyIP Mixer." This "webcam" will allow you to stream or record class instruction using software on the PC, such as Microsoft Teams or Panopto. For more information on using VTC system for remote teaching, please refer to these resources provided by the Faculty Resource Center.
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.
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.
Microphone Input
There is a microphone input and output located at the top of the rack 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.
Screen Control
The screen in this room is automatically operated. By turning on the system, the screen should lower. When you turn off the system, it should raise. You can also use the controls on the touch screen and the wall controls as well.
