To tell if you have an older podium style, check the power button. If it is a single black button, then the podium is the old style. The new style podium has a separate “on” and “off” button.
Besides the different arrangement of buttons, there are a few functional differences between the 2 podium styles. One difference is the buttons themselves. In the old style podium, the actual buttons are above and below the labels. In the new style podium the labels are on the buttons themselves.
Another difference is in the function of the image mute. In the old style podium, to unmute the image you will need to push the button for the video source you are using. In the new style podium there is a separate button to unmute the image, returning you to your previous source.
