Logging on

If the Crestron touch panel is blank, touch it to bring up the Welcome page. A countdown menu screen will appear 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 the 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 Blank. 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.
