Controlling the A/V System
Using the Extron Panel
The Extron panel on the podium desk controls most of the functionality in the room. The Extron 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 "On" button on the left side of the button panel (outlined in orange to the left). The button panel is located on the right side of the lectern. This will turn on the projector. lower the projection screen and route audio and video from the last selected source to the AV system.
To turn the AV system off, press the "Off" button (outlined in orange to the left). This will turn off the projector and raise the screen, immediately after the button is pressed.
Source Selection
To change sources, select the input you would like to send to the projector from the available buttons on the panel (outlined in blue to the left). You will know one is selected when the button back light is lit up. If the back light is flashing, this means the inputs are actively switching and you will need to wait before changing. You may choose between Podium PC, Laptop, or the Document Camera. For the laptop input, you will need to connect the VGA and 3.5mm audio jack to the laptop, then switch to that input by pressing the respective button on the panel. For the document camera, you will need to stand it up from behind the button panel and then switch to the appropriate input.
- The top 2 inputs labeled "AUX VIDEO" and "WALL PLATE" are not currently used and should not be selected.
Volume Control
Volume can be controlled using the volume knob on the left side of the button panel (outlined in red to the left). The lights indicate the volume level.
This room features energy save rated amps and may shut off. If this is the case, please turn up the volume while audio is playing to hear the audio. |
Projector Control
Outline in green to the left are a few projector functions. These include Pic Mute and Freeze. There is a vertical 3-button section to the right of the volume knob. This contains Pic Mute, Freeze, and closed captioning(which we no longer use).
- Pic 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 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.
The keyboard and mouse should be located in the first drawer on the left.
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 VGA/Audio on the lectern is for use with a laptop. Connect your device, and select the laptop 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 pressing the power button.
On the front of the camera are controls for zoom and auto focus. Similar to the Extron panel, there is a freeze option that will freeze the image being shown. The extern button will bring up the settings menu for the document camera. More information on the settings can be found here: How To: WolfVision Document Cameras
