At IUPUI, how do I use the media equipment installed in my classroom?
Technology installed in general inventory classrooms at IUPUI is controlled via a touch panel interface.
Note: You can download podcasts about classrooms with either one projector or two projectors.

Available equipment
For information on equipment installed in classrooms at IUPUI, search using the IUPUI Classroom Database web form.
Logging on
If the Crestron touch panel is blank, touch it to bring up the
Welcome page. A count down menu screen will show until
the projector has completed its warm up cycle.
In some classrooms, a numeric keypad will appear. Enter your
passcode on the keypad followed by Enter. To request a
passcode, call 317-274-8400.
Choosing your media
By default, the PC image displays on the preview monitor and the video
projector simultaneously. You can also select a different source
(e.g., Laptop, DVD, VCR, or Doc
Camera) on the left side of touch panel. Once a new source is
selected, the image will be projected on the screen.
To use the document camera, turn the document camera on and press the
Doc Cam icon. When finished, turn off the unit.
To use a laptop, connect the VGA cable available in the room, power on
the laptop, and press the Laptop icon. You may need to
activate the dual display function on your laptop.
To temporarily black out the projected image, press the Blank
icon. To resume projection, select the source to be projected.
Audio control
The audio and video signals are linked; when you select a source, the audio is automatically activated.
To raise or lower the audio level, on the lower right of the touch
screen, hold the up or down arrow. To mute the audio, press
Mute; press again to unmute.
Logging off
Be sure to log off the computer when you finish, but do not shut the computer off. Shutting down the computer inconveniences other instructors, as they must then wait for the machine to reboot. It also hinders the ability to install security and virus updates, patches, and user requests.
To end your session, on the lower left of the touch panel, press
Exit, and then Yes.
