Turning the system on and off
The AV system will power on when pressing the start page on the touch panel. The start page is different than most Crestron rooms. The start page has two different modes, Instructor Mode and Breakout Mode.
Instructor Mode: This will turn on the projectors, lower the screens, and switch the panel to the instructor page, which is pretty similar to our standard Crestron rooms. There are 3 sources available: Podium PC, Laptop, and Wireless Presentation (AirMedia)
Breakout Mode: This mode will turn on the projectors, lower the screens, turn on the TVs at each of the pods, and switch to the breakout page. With this mode, the professor is able to project their own computer to all of the TVs at the pods, but it also allows the professor to either allow each station to project their computer up to their own respective TVs or the professor can choose to project one pod's source to all of the TVs and projectors. This is done via HDMI cord available at each pod.
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. The power off button will only appear after selecting one of the modes.
Source Selection
Instructor Led: To change sources, select the input you would like to send to the projector. You may choose between Podium PC, Laptop, and Wireless Presentation.On Breakout mode, there is a button labeled "switch to breakout mode" which allows each HDMI connection to connect to it's respective TV
Breakout Mode: Choose any of the pod sources and the signal will send to the projectors and room speakers. Whichever source is selected it will be shown on the projection screens as well as the displays above each pod.
Switch to local groups
- Displays at each pod group will show the device plugged in at the corresponding pod.
- Instructor can still select any source in this mode to be also shown on the projection screens.
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. Volume can also be adjusted on the individual source input device (i.e. laptop, podium pc, etc.)
