Then it displays the Video Conference screen. The Select Your Session screen lets you choose a system operating mode. BE AWARE THAT BECAUSE THE PROJECTORS RETRACT FROM THE CEILING, THEN START UP, THEN THE SCREENS COME DOWN, THIS PROCESS TAKES ALMOST 10 MINUTES

4. Local Presentation The Local Presentation screen lets you route output from the Source devices (such as the DVD, a computer, or an auxiliary device) to the left and right Projectors. This screen also provides access to the controls for the multimedia equipment that you wish to use for your presentation. The Local Presentation screen looks like this:

6. BUTTONACTION Pressing the volume UP arrow button raises the loudspeaker audio level, while volume DOWN lowers the audio level. The bar graph is not a button; instead, it provides a visual indication of the audio level. At its lowest level, when the audio is muted, the graph color is all white.

After you select a component, you need to direct the system as to which side you want the image/information to go; left right or bot. This differs from other presentation set ups on campus wherein you simply select the component and it appears on screen. THERE ARE TWO WARNING SCREENS THAT ASK IF YOU ARE SURE YOU WANT TO SHUT DOWN. THIS IS DUE TO THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TAKES FOR THE EQUIPMENT TO SHUT DOWN – AND THEN RE-START. THEREFORE, IF YOU ACCIDENTLY SHUT DOWN, IT WILL TAKE OVER 15 MIN. FOR THE SYSTEM TO BE USEABLE *

7. Audio Feed The second, or most recently selected component, will be the audio feed. If you select the PC and send it to the right screen, and then select TV Tuner and send that to the left, the audio feed will come from the TV Tuner.

13. Trouble Shooting The wireless mic isnt picking up the lecturers voice. Check the GAIN dial on the side of the pack and turn it clockwise Theres no audio after selecting a new source. The most recent selected source is where the audio feed will come from. For instance, if you have selected TV for both sides and then select PC, there will be no audio from the TV as it was not the most recently selected. To solve this, re-select TV and select the same side that it is already on.
