PC/MAC/Laptop Usage

To begin:

  1. If the system is off, touch the Crestron screen to wake up the system. Turn the projector on and lower the screen by pushing "Display Control" then "Projector: On" on the touch panel (the screen should lower automatically if it's not down). Note: You will see the projector bulb turn on before the projector warms up enough to project an image on the screen in the front. Please be patient.
  2. Log on to the in-room PC or connect a laptop to the HDMI cable.
  3. Select "Laptop" from the touch panel to display on screen.
  4. When using a laptop: There is a power outlet and wired ethernet cable, should they be needed.

For sound:

  • On the Crestron touch panel, use the Speech Volume slider (via touch) to adjust the volume on the microphones. This slider controls both the microphone in the podium and the wireless microphone.
  • Use the Program Volume slide (by touch) to adjust the volume output from the device that's being displayed.
  • Both volume controls also have mute buttons.

When you are done:

  1. Logout of the PC or disconnect your laptop or other device.
  2. Exit the system on the Crestron touch panel. You should see the light go off on the projector and the screen raise.
