Controlling the A/V System
Using the Remote
The remote for the projector controls most functions in the room. The remote is labeled below with the colors corresponding to a particular section explaining that function.
Turning the system on and off
To turn the system on, press the power button on the remote (outlined in orange to the left). This will only turn on the projector. You must physically pull on the string/handle on the screen to lower it.
To turn off the system, press the power button twice. This will turn off the projector. To raise the screen, pull on the string/handle and the screen should raise. You may have to push on it a bit to get it all the way up.
Source Selection
The source should always be HDMI/Video, also called HDBaseT (outlined in blue to the left). The projector will automatically use the laptop HDMI connection if it is connected. Otherwise, it will use the podium PC as the source.
Volume Control
Volume can be controlled with the volume buttons on the remote (outlined in red to the left), or on the PC using the volume controls 
on the bottom right corner of the screen.
Projector Control
The most commonly used projector functions are A/V Mute and Freeze. A/V Mute is on the bottom left of the remote, and Freeze is on the bottom right of the remote (both outlined in green to the left).
- A/V Mute will shutter the projector and mute the audio. 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.
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.
The keyboard and mouse should be located in the open drawer shown below. Please return them to this drawer after use.
At the top right of the podium, there is a pull out shelf which can be utilized for placing additional materials on the podium.
Using a Laptop
The HDMI cable on the lectern is for use with a laptop. Connect your device, and the system will automatically switch to the correct input.
Screen Control
The screen in this room is manually operated. The handle, with a string attached, is outlined in black in the photo below.
| OIT calibrates the projector image when the bottom weighted bar of the screen is closest to the marker tray. If the screen isn't the same height as the marker tray, the image may be off centered or cut off. |
