Crestron Startup:

1. The touch screen — The screen maybe dark (ie. asleep) and will require you to touch the screen “once” to wake it up. (see image) You will then need to touch the screen a second time to acquire the log-in screen. (see image)
2. Note: Your campus 6 digit AV pass-code and keys will not work within our rooms. They are for AMX general assignment rooms only.
3. Enter the 4 digit pass-code that is given out by the physics department.
4. If you have an older computer, especially if you only have VGA out, this will require special hardware. Please contact us.

Connecting a computer to our Crestron System:

1. Connect your computer to the system by using one of the 7 HDMI ports. 1 at the lectern and 2 at each lecture demonstration table.
   • The most commonly used port is Computer 1 located at Table #2 in the center of the stage. (See  image)
   • There is usually an HDMI cable at that location or it the drawer below.
   • Note:  a USBC  or other mac adapter is often needed, we have several adapters available for use. The most common ones should be within the drawer below.
2. See images: Before connected and After connected to Computer #1 at Table #2 .
   • If button does not brighten up, then there is most likely a connection issue or possibly a resolution issue.  Repeat step one above and or seek help.
3. Select by pushing either the “Computer 1” button within the “Table 2” box or the button that did brighten up. The button will change from Blue to Green. (See image)
   • Your computer display should now appear on the Crestron touch screen preview window located above the room source buttons. (See image 1) (see image 2)
   • Note: that “Computer 2” button under “Room Sources” is also bright. This input is reserved for airplay via Apple TV, which you will need another departmental code to use.
4. Once you have your display showing on the previews, you now must send it to a projector.
   • The best projector is Projector B.
   • Do this by pushing the green “Projector B” button located at top-center of the Crestron touch screen. (See image). The label “Warming” will appear over the button.
   • You should be able to see a blue light coming from projector B its self, which is located in the back of the lecture hall.
   • The label that is just above the Projector B button, will change to whichever source button that was just sent. In this case it should read “Computer 1 Table 2”  (See image)
5. Once you have your display showing on the previews, you now must send it to a projector.
   • This is your choice, but the best projector is Projector B.
   • Do this by pushing the green “Projector B” button located at top-center of the Crestron touch screen. (See image)
   • The Projector B button will darken with a label “Warming” appearing over the button. This will go away in time.
   • You should be able to see a blue light coming from projector B its self, which is located in the back of the lecture hall.
   • The Projector B button’s label that is just above it, will change to whichever source button that was sent last. In this case it should read “Computer 1 Table 2”. (see image)
   • Each projector button has an associated “Mute” button. Which blank the projector image without turning off the projector.
     • The color of the mute button’s will change for “Green =  Mute Off” to “Red = Mute On”
     • NOTE: The word “MUTE” is always seen. Even when the mute function is being used (Red). This does cause a lot of confusion. Just remember that Green means Go!

The PA System:

1. The touch screen — on the left hand margin you will see volume controls that are labeled “Program” and “Microphone”.
   • Note:  These two controls will most likely be blinking “Red” upon login. This means they are “Muted”, No sound! (See image)
     
   • “Program” Audio is the mixed audio from one computer port and any other plug-in audio device such as a CD/DVD player.
   • “Microphone” Audio is the “Mixed” audio from all microphones.
2. Push both red mute buttons so they turn on or “Black”. (See image)
3. There are often two wireless microphones available within the room. However, this room has the capabilities of having up to six wireless microphones and two or three wired microphones. A formal request is needed for additional microphones.
4. Find the Sennheiser body pack wireless microphone.
   • It should be either on the lecture or on Table 2. It just depends where the last instructor left it.  (See image )
   • To turn it on.
     • Open the front cover by pressing in the two black tabs on both sides of the transmitter. (See image)
     • Push and hold the power button until it turns on (See image)
