Using the Wall PC
The computer mounted on the wall 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 are located in a fold-out tray under the computer. To open the tray, enter the combination 1-1-1-1-1.
The wall mount is height adjustable. To raise or lower the mount, gently raise or lower it with your hand.
Using the AirMedia
The AirMedia allows for wireless presentation of any device connected to the UCCS-Wireless network.
To connect to the AirMedia:
- Select the AirMedia source on the touch panel
- Open a web browser and enter the address listed on the touch panel or in the lower right corner of the screen
- Follow the instructions on the webpage to download the app to your device
- Enter the IP address and code to connect your device and start presenting
Microphone
There are two microphones/inputs installed in this space. One is located in the ceiling and is used to pick up room audio for use with the Video Teleconference (VTC) functionality. The other is an input panel at the equipment rack which is primarily for use with assistive listening systems.
For instructions on the VTC system, please refer to the section below.
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, 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.
VTC Selection
The VTC controls are located in the lower right cover on the touch panel. These controls allow you to select which source is routed to the VTC system. The audio for the VTC system will include the selected source and the in-ceiling microphone. This system is only connected to the wall PC and will show up as a USB webcam named "Vaddio AV Bridge." This "webcam" will allow you to stream or record class instruction using software on the PC, such as Microsoft Teams or Panopto. For more information on using VTC system for remote teaching, please refer to these resources provided by the Faculty Resource Center.
Camera Controls
The in-ceiling camera can be controlled using the touch panel. To access the controls, select the Overhead Camera source on the main menu. These controls allow you to zoom in and out and change what the camera is fixated on. The presets may be saved for frequently used camera positioning.
