AV Controls in the Lecture Rooms
Trying to Navigate the ChangesSlide2
Upgrades
We uninstalled the existing audiovisual equipment from the previous equipment racks and lecterns located in each lecture room and replaced them with a custom consolidated Multimedia Lectern. The lecterns are designed to simplify the use and installation
of various
pieces of equipment required to integrate the classrooms. Slide3
Upgrades
The following equipment has been integrated into the new lecterns:
Blu
-ray DVD player: for DVD playback of both standard and
Blu
-ray media
HDTV capable tuner/modulator: for connectivity
to cable
TVSlide4
Upgrades
C
lassroom
computers: for presentations. This includes the network computer and the Stand-Alone computer.
Six new 46” flat panel LCD displays have replaced the
existing
displays in each of the following rooms: Lecture Rooms C, D, and E.Slide5
Upgrades
Control System Processor and 17”
touch
panel/computer monitor for use during teaching
.
The panel is able to be used as a control system touch panel and lectern PC monitor. Existing wireless touch panels in the rooms are integrated into the system.
Hideaway cable enclosure for connecting and additional laptop computers.Slide6
Upgrades
VTC
Codec in the Lecture Room C and
Auditorium.
Existing High-resolution scan
converters for laptop connections.
Multiple wireless microphones (all in one transmitter/microphone design) to allow the presenter to present/teach and be heard anywhere in the room.Slide7
Upgrades
Integrated an HD-capable all-in-one pan-tilt-zoom ceiling mounted video camera to allow for video conferencing and streaming along with allowing the ability for USUHS technicians to see into the room for trouble-shooting purposes.
New digital cabling has been run to all display devices from switcher/distribution amplifiers. Slide8
Upgrades
On top of the teaching station are the keyboard and mouse for the computers. The keyboard and mouse are wireless so that presenters can work from the table in the room
. These devices work with both computers.
The mouse can also be used as a pointer on the screen.
The touch screen does not control computer functions.Slide9
Upgrades
An additional wireless remote has been added for those individuals that find the wireless mouse difficult to use as a pointer.
Audio and video recording equipment has been added to allow for capture of the lectures or programs in all lecture halls. They are currently in use in Lecture Rooms D and E. Testing is being
done
in the other halls for implementation soon.Slide10
Upgrades
On the wall behind the
teaching stations,
you will find a wall plate which can accommodate
multiple laptops, in addition to the connections on the podium,
should someone wish to use
laptops
for presentation instead of the house
computers.
With this computer input, you will see a dial that says "Shift." This dial allows you to horizontally shift the image generated on the screen by the laptop. Occasionally, when a laptop is plugged into a projector or control system, this type of adjustment is necessary. Slide11
Upgrades
The stand alone computer has a cable that terminates on the podium that allows the lecturer to utilize a flash drive without having to access the computer.
Both the network computer and stand alone computer have CD drives and are capable of projecting DVD’s and playing CD’s.Slide12
Touch Screen Operation
The touch
screen
allows you to activate the system, control sources, raise and lower volume on programs, and shut down the system.
This touch
screen
is
movable on the podium
and allows the presenter to control the sources
to the projector no matter which way it is facing.Slide13
Touch Screen Operation
Upon arriving in the room,
you
will see
three possible screens: black if the system has been off for a while; welcome screen if the system was recently turned off; or main menu if the system is still up.
I
f the screen is black or welcome and you
want to use the system, you touch the panel to activate it. Slide14

Main MenuSlide17
Touch Screen Operation
The icons at the base of the screen show the sources that can be accessed from this screen. Touching them activates that source.
The first five icons refer to computer sources: the network computer; the stand alone computer; lectern DVI; lectern VGA; and wall VGA.Slide18
Touch Screen Operation
Touching any of these icons will bring up that source which can then be viewed in the left hand preview screen.
The preview screen allows you to prepare for your lecture or switching sources without the audience seeing what you are doing.
Touching the preview screen increases the size on the touch screen for viewing.Slide19
Touch Screen Operation
When you are ready for the audience to view what you are presenting, you touch the base of the preview screen where it indicates to do so.
If there is already a projection; you can send the blank screen and work from the
preview screen.
There is a secondary preview screen that can be set up for reading your notes during the presentation in a dual screen mode.Slide20
Touch Screen Operation
Either screen can be sent to the presentation devices.
Note: until you send the view to the presentation devices, there will be no audio from the source selected.
If the screen and projector are not already on, they will activate when you send the view to the projection devices. If they are already on, they will switch to that view.Slide21
Preview ScreenSlide22

The final source icon on the bottom is the one for the camera. This camera is in the rear of the room and is controlled by the menu activated by the icon.
The camera is typically used for recording events in the room, though it can be sent as a source to the projector and LCD panels.Slide29
Camera Control ScreenSlide30
Touch Screen Operation
Pan and tilt are controlled by the wheel icon.
Camera speed refers to how fast the cameral will move while controlled.
Presets are the camera positions already set in the camera.Slide31

The other icons on the touch panel control environmental aspects of the room: reduced screen projection; volume control of the panel mics; volume of the podium mic; volume of the program sources (i.e. computer,
tv
, and
Blu
-Ray player); and, the lights.
The lights have four presets for use during presentations: all the way up; two successive dimming settings; and off.Slide32
Main MenuSlide33
Touch Screen Operation
Touching the “Full Screen” icon will reduce the projected screen to allow for stage use. Touching it again returns the projection to full size.
The volume controls on this screen are over a range controlled by the arrows. The oval located below each volume setting allows you to mute the source with a touch. If the word “mute” is red the source is muted, if not, the source is projecting.Slide34
Touch Screen Operation
Touching the icon above the lights labeled “Room Controls” will bring you to another menu that controls devices individually: projector, screen, LCD panels, lights, and wireless microphones.Slide35
Room ControlsSlide36
Touch Screen Operation
The wireless microphones have three preset volumes and mute. You should try the microphones before presenting to find the volume best suited to your voice.
There are three lavaliere microphones, one ear-piece, two hand-held mics.
If you are soft-spoken, you are probably better served with the ear-piece mic. Slide37
Touch Screen Operation
As with the volume, it is best to try the different microphones to find what works best for you.
The microphones are stored in a charger. Each microphone battery has a 16 hour charge and will appear green when fully charged.Slide38
Touch Screen Operation
When the microphone is removed from the charger, the light on the front will blink red, yellow, green. When it blinks red continuously, it has connected to the receiver.
You may now push the button the front of the mic for the microphone to be active (light will be green).Slide39

When you are finished, you slide the panel back into its cradle.
Please do not force it into position, if you have trouble, please notify MDL.
These panels do not work in other rooms and are not functional with other systems, so please leave them in the room.Slide54
Notes about Operation
Please be aware of recording situations. Many of the lectures and programs in the halls are recorded. This means any microphone or computer use may be recorded and broadcast later to the students.
If you want to insure private conversations, mics must be muted.Slide55
