This guide will walk you through turning on the displays in the room, and selecting the source to display on them

Instructions

  1. Locate the room control touch panel - this will typically be mounted on the lectern desk, in one of the corners.

  2. Tap the touch panel to wake it up - It may be in a hibernating state, tapping it will wake it up.

  3. Tap the touch panel again to power up the system - this may take a few seconds, depending on the hardware.

  4. Select the source you’re intending to show the class - remember to securely connect any laptop cables you might be using.

  1. In order to change source, volume or hide the display content:

  • The source selected can be changed by tapping the ‘main menu’ button

  • The volume can be controlled in some rooms by using the volume buttons in the bottom right of the touch panel - Some rooms will require that you use the volume control on the selected source.

  • The content can be hidden from the display by selecting ‘No Show’ - tap this again to reveal the content. Please be aware that in some rooms this will also mute the audio.

  1. Once your session is complete, select ‘End session' and 'Yes’ to power down the system. This may not be necessary if there is a session immediately after yours.

Troubleshooting

  • No video output from the lectern PC? Check the PC itself is on and awake - tapping the keyboard and look for a blue power light in the cut out on the front of the lectern.

  • No Audio output? Check the lectern is not muted, windows isn’t muted and the volume is turned up on both.

  • Display not showing content? Try ending the session and restarting through the system through the touch panel - the system may have been improperly shut down.

  • PC content not being shared to projector? Hold down the windows key on the keyboard, and press the ‘P' key at the same time - Select 'Duplicate’ from the menu that pops up.
