Control is accomplished using a 12 inch Crestron touchscreen installed on the teaching station. The teaching station houses all the electronic equipment needed to support lectures and presentations.

The illustration on the left is the Main Menu Page, as it looks when the system is in an all-off condition. There are 4 main buttons along the bottom that perform page flips and system on functions. These buttons represent the 4 main modes of control offered: control the Left Projector, control the Right Projector, congtrol the room’s Lights and Screens, and a password protected technicians mode used to further adjust the projectors and set/reset passwords.

  2. Wayne State University - Scott Hall – 3rd floor 2 Projector Operations Left Projector Control Page Each Source has an audio output which is connected to the system. When any Source is selected, its audio becomes the Program Audio signal which plays on the speakers installed on the front wall. The level of the Program Audio is adjusted using these buttons. Note that when the System is turned on, the Program and Microphone levels are set to the ‘default’ level of approx. 65% of maximum, which should be sufficient for playback and microphone levels without further adjustment. For large or noisy audiences, adjust the volume to a higher level. These Audio Control buttons are available on every Control Page. All Microphones are mixed together and the mix volume level is adjusted using these buttons. The Microphone Mix will be heard on the ceiling speaker system, which is a separate audio system to the Program audio system. Main Menu button page flips back to the Main Menu Page. The Left Projector Control Page is identical to the Right Projector Control Page, the difference being which projector is being controlled. All other functions are the same. Illustrations will be using the Left Projector Control page. The page has 3 main areas, the Selection area on the left, the Projector control area at the top, and the Audio control area on the right. The center area is used for selection specific control buttons (DVD and VCR) which appear when one of the controllable sources is selected. There are 5 Sources to Select: System PC selects the PC installed in the teaching station to display on the projector. Laptop PC selects the connection available on the top of the teaching station, typically connected to a laptop computer. This is a standard VGA type connection, with audio. Connect any VGA device. Document Cam selects the WolfVision document camera installed on the top of the teaching station. This is a high-resolution source. DVD selects the DVD player section of the JVC VCR/DVD combo deck installed in the teaching station. VCR selects the VHS VCR section of the JVC VCR/DVD deck. If the projector is OFF when a selection is made, it will turn on, the screen will lower, the projector will warm up, then display the selection. An alert ‘popup page’ will appear tracking the warmup cycle of the projector.
