Booting Up
Locate the touch panel on the lectern to power up the room and start utilizing the Audio Visual Technology.
Tap the touch panel on the lectern to wake it up if it is black.
Tap the touch panel again to begin the bootup sequence. This will bring up a loading screen with a progression bar. Please wait until the sequence completes.
Source Selection
Once the system has loaded, you will be presented with source selection options.
PC: This routes the lectern PC video to the projector and audio to the room speakers
LAPTOP HDMI/LAPTOP USB-C: These two options route your laptop video to the projector and audio to the room speakers. Please ensure your laptop computer is connected to the relevant cable in the well on top of the lectern.
BLURAY: This will route the Blu-Ray video to the projector, audio to the room speakers, and bring the Blu-Ray controller to the touch panel. The Blu-Ray player is located in the lectern cabinet below. If it is locked and you do not currently have a lectern key, please call the help desk at x47079 or (757) 594-7079.
DOC CAM: This will route the document camera to the projector.
CNU LOGO: This will display a blank screen populated only by the Christopher Newport University Logo.
Display Control Options
This screen will also provide you with the following options:
SCREEN UP/SCREEN DOWN: These provide basic control over the operation of the projector screen embedded in the ceiling. This screen will normally roll down for use during the bootup sequence.
BLANK VIDEO: This serves as the equivalent of the Picture Mute in other rooms, and will black out the projector without turning it off.
FREEZE VIDEO: This will take a snapshot of the current view currently on the screen, and display it as a static image. Turning this option off will revert the input back to a live display.
Volume Control
To adjust the room's volume level, please use the volume adjustment located at the bottom center of the touch panel.
System Exit
When finished, tap “Exit System” in the bottom right corner of the touch panel.
Press the red YES button to confirm to shut down the system.
The system will enter a cooldown period, during which you will be unable to engage with it until it is completely shut down.
