Star Community Room 139

Displays  

This meeting room is really two rooms in one. It has a partially equipped teaching station, sound system, and two displays at the front of the room, and the back of the room can be a stand-alone meeting space, with connections for laptops to connect to a projector.

• A – Two Ceiling Mounted Projectors
  • Projects onto Manual Screens on the front wall, right and left of the podium.
• B -- One Ceiling Mounted Projector
  • Projects onto Manual Screen at the back of the room.

Sources  

The touch panel controller provides selection from multiple sources which can be shown on the projection screens:

• Desktop PC, labeled Presentation IN-House PC, located in the sound booth (Front of House)
• Laptop – VGA port, located in the sound booth (Front of House)
• Laptop – Soundbooth HDMI cable (with a Displayport adapter), located in the sound booth (Front of House)
• Laptop – Teaching Cart HDMI cable, located on the large mobile podium (a.k.a., smart cart) at the front of the room
• Blu-Ray Player, located in the sound booth (Front of House)

Note: The same source will appear on both projection screens. There is no current functionality to show different content on each screen.

Note: The projector and screen in the back of the room are independent from the sources above. It requires a laptop connection to the wall plate on the back wall of the room, located just left of the projection screen.

Video Conference

• This room has a dedicated PC and PTZ web-camera for use with webinars, or video conferences with one-way audio. Please verify with Conference Services, Institutional Media Technologies, or N&G Operations that the provided equipment can meet the needs of your video conference, at least two weeks prior to your meeting.
• Make sure you are using the Online Streaming PC (Do not use the In Room Presentation PC for video-conferencing). The Online Streaming PC is being used when you are seated at the right side of the sound booth (the flip-up shelf).
• Zoom is installed on the streaming computer, which you are encouraged to use. Feel free to also use Skype for Business, or Google Hangouts, etc.
• Select for your webcam, the attached ClearOne Unite 200. It is mounted on the wall above the sound booth, but it is connected to the computer by a long USB cable.
• Select for your audio, the Line In audio (which comes from the Allen & Heath Sound board, combining sound from microphones and computers).

Control 

• Power Sequencer: Located in the left side of the sound booth, a white rocker switch will turn on all of the computer monitors and sound system for a meeting in the room. This takes about 20 seconds to complete the boot-up, or shut-down cycle. It does not turn on or turn off the projectors. This must be done using the Touch Panel Control System.
• This meeting room has a Touch Panel Control System. To use the touch panel, simply touch the options visible on the screen.  This will switch between audio and video sources, recall a sound board preset, navigate a Blu-Ray or DVD menu, recall a preset orientation of the PTZ camera, and turn on and off the projectors.
  • If the touch panel appears to be off (dark), wave your hand in front of the screen. It does have a sleep mode, which will be entered if no motion is detected, directly in front of the Touch Panel. Detected movement will wake it from the sleep mode.

Lighting

• Directional Track Lighting, allows improved lighting on the lectern location, especially when Video Conferencing.

• Control the directional lighting from two dimmer switches on the wall near the sound booth (Front of House)

Instructions

• These instructions have been printed and provided at the sound booth location, in a white, 3-ring binder.
