Starting A/V presentation system

1. Touch the small "panja" touchscreen to awaken it
2. Touch the START button
3. It may take up to 30 seconds for the video projection system to warm up
4. Now touch the appropriate button on the left side of the screen, under "SOURCES"

Lighting

All the lights in the room, both fluorescent and incandescent, are dimmable from the sliders on the wall (usually next to the podium). In general, you should dim at least the lights above the projection screen if you are projecting any data or video image.

Projection screen

In many rooms, the projection screen will automatically roll up and down when the A/V system is started or stopped. You can manually raise or lower the projection screen with the UP, DOWN, and STOP buttons on the wall by the screen.

Audio

At any time, you can touch the AUDIO button at the top of the touchscreen to access volume controls. Select mute or press the arrow keys for volume up and down.

Media devices

Room PC

1. You may have to power on the system unit (large oval button on front of PC in the podium)
2. You may be prompted to press to "Press CTL-ALT-DEL" - this means you hold down the <Ctrl> and <Alt> keys, then press <Delete>.
3. You must log on to the University network with your userID (generally in the form "SmithR"), your password (private), and the fac/staff Windows domain (philacol).
4. Remember to log off your account! Press CTL-ALT-DEL and select "Log Off." This protects your email and home directory from access by others.

Document camera / Overhead projector

1. Most rooms are equipped with a document camera in a drawer on the side of the podium. This can be used to project transparencies or opaque documents or even 3-D items.
2. Open the drawer and pull out the "doc cam." Unfold the projector head and the two side lamps. Raise projector head to full height for best focus.
3. Flip the power button on at the front left side of the unit.
4. At the front of the unit, press "base lamp" for transparencies or "top lamp" for opaque objects.
5. Press buttons at front to focus or zoom. The best way to focus is to use the ZOOM "tele" button to zoom in as far as possible. Then adjust focus in the close-up and ZOOM wide to return to the best size. Remember that this video camera may not have the definition you're used to with an overhead projector, but it's much more versatile.
6. You can rotate the projector head somewhat… it's a video camera!
