System Overview The video projection system has been designed to allow computer and video sources to project high quality, widescreen images. The default resolution for projected images is 1920 x 1080p. The dedicated PC and TV tuner installed in this system have been set for this resolution. Any device connecting to the wired VGA or HDMI inputs will also default to this resolution. The touchscreen graphics have been designed to streamline system functions, making control of the entire system seamless and easy to use. Many features of the system – such as screen controls, projector power, input switching – have been automated to single button presses in order to eliminate confusion while controlling the system. These rooms offer videoconferencing through Blue Jeans and Skype. Recordings will be offered through Panopto. To request a recording in these rooms, please email

Sources There are three available sources: PC, Blu-ray, and Laptop. When selecting PC, the projector will automatically turn on and the screen will descend. If for any reason, the screen does not descend, or if you wish to manually raise it, it can be done using the “Screen Control” button on the Source Page or using the manual switch to the left of the screen. To plug in a USB device or thumb drive, use the ports located on the front of the PC. The PC is located inside the podium cabinet. There is one additional USB connector cord, on the right side of the connection plate. To use a laptop, first select the Laptop input. The VGA connection is located on the left side of the plate. Use this connection for older laptops that only support a VGA output. The HDMI connection is located in the middle of the plate. Use this connection for laptops that support an HDMI, DVI or DisplayPort output.

Microphones Each room is equipped with 5 microphones: 2 wireless, 1 podium, and 2 crowd mics. While the wireless and podium mics may be used for enhancing voice projection to the class, the crowd mics are primarily used for video conferencing. Adjust the volume of each mic by pressing up and down accordingly. The button below the volume levels is a mute feature, and it will appear red when that particular mic has been muted. Selecting “Normalize All Mic Levels” will unmute the two wireless and podium mics.
