Using The System

To use the projector or display and other equipment in this room, press the AV button on the left of the touchscreen to get to the state shown above. You can then select which source you wish to use from the list of inputs.
Pressing "Blank" will blank the main display but leave the content visible on the lectern monitor. Pressing "Blank" or an input selection will unblank the main display.

A popup will appear to check which displays you want to use - if you don't require the main display then select audio only. If you're using the projector then this will bring the screen down automatically where required. To turn the system the system off, press the "Power" button and confirm on the popup. This will also retract projection screens as required.

Lighting controls and projection screens

Where control of lighting presets or projection screens is available, a "More" tab will be available on the left of the screen giving access to any Lighting presets and to Up / Down controls for the projection screens.

Volume Controls

To control the volume of any content from the PC / Laptop, use the fader on the right hand side of the screen. This audio can also be muted by pressing the button in the bottom right hand corner. This button will light up red when the audio is muted. To unmute, press the button again or change the position of the volume fader.

Microphones

Some rooms have volume controls available for the various microphones in the room. These are accessible from the "Mics" tab at the top of the screen.

The "Reset Mics" button at the top of the screen will reset the system back to it's default state that should be suitable for most events.
The volume controls will affect the volume going to the speakers in the room, but not to the recording. Some microphones will have a "Mute" button underneath the fader that will turn that channel off. This button will light up red when selected.
