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, and switch the touch 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 HDMI and VGA inputs, Doc Cam and Blu-ray.

Lighting Controls

The lighting in the space can be controlled either using the physical switches and sliders towards the entrance of the room or by using the touch panel, by selecting the Lighting options at the bottom left. There are various controls as well as a few presets for different applications.

Volume Control

Volume can be controlled using the volume icon in the bottom of the touch panel. The system can also be muted using the mute icon as well.

Projector/Screen Controls

This room is equipped with 2 projectors, both of which are powered on and off with the system and can also be controlled independently of one another.

All essential functions of the projector are controlled via the Crestron touch panel. A/V Mute and Freeze are all located in the menu after pressing the "Projector" button. On the touch panel, select the bottom projector icon to bring up the screen above. From here, you can A/V Mute, Freeze or turn off each of the projectors.

A/V Mute will shutter the projector. Use this feature when you want to use the whiteboard 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 network cable 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 a Hyflex Classroom

Using Microphone Inputs and Outputs

Academic Support Knowledge Base > BREC 5101 - Classroom > IMG_9532.jpg

There is a microphone input panel at the top of the AV rack which 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, the VTC system, and the XLR output. The XLR output port will allow any connected device to receive all audio from a selected source or the XLR input.

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 on the top shelf of the lectern.
