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

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.

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.

There is currently no A/V Mute button in this room.

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.
