Controlling the A/V System
Using the Touch Panel
The touch panel controls most functions in the room. The touch panel is labeled below with the colors corresponding to a particular section explaining that function.
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, or 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.
On the left side of the touch panel are options for A/V Mute 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.
Inputs
Using the Podium PC and Lectern
The computer located on the podium is the primary source for this AV system. This computer runs the same Windows image as our other podium PCs and can be signed into with your UCCS credentials.
Using a Laptop
The VGA/Audio on the lectern is for use with a laptop. Connect your device, and the system will automatically switch to the correct input. There is also a network cable which will give access to the UCCS network and internet when connected to a device.
Using the Document Camera
Selecting the document camera source on the panel will route it to the projector. The document camera on the lectern is powered on by holding the power button. All camera controls are located at the base of the camera.
Using a Microphone
There is a microphone input and output located in the rack to the left of the lectern. They are located at the top of the rack and 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 the Vaddio/Hyflex VTC System
This room is equipped with Vaddio equipment which allows Video Teleconferencing for HyFlex options.
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 in the rack to the left of the lectern, just above the door.
