Touch the green ROOM STARTUP button on the white multi-button Crestron control panel. This hard button device controls all of the equipment in the room.


The adjustment of volume is done using the knob located on the wall behind the instructor’s lectern. NOTE: Computers have their own volume controls which may need to be adjusted separately.


These decks are controlled at the Crestron panel.  Simply insert your media (tape, disc) into the machine and select the appropriate yellow button on the Crestron - then use Play, Pause, Stop, and all of the rest of the controls on the second row of buttons. The only time you ever touch the VCR or DVD player itself is to insert and eject your media.


Power up the computer as usual. On the Crestron, push the yellow COMPUTER button. Your image should display on the local monitor and the projector.


The cables needed for connecting a laptop computer are found on the instructor’s lectern (under the hatch located top-right). Plug the VGA cable into your laptop's VGA port and tighten the thumbscrews to ensure a good connection. If you require access to the Internet or your campus-network resources, plug the Ethernet cable into your laptop's network jack (if equipped). If you need to play computer-audio, you will need to plug the audio cable into your laptop's headphone jack. Be sure the laptop's volume is not too low or muted.

For best results:

1. Power-up the equipment as described above.
2. Connect the required cables to your laptop as described above.
3. Plug in your laptop's AC power adaptor.
4. Press the LAPTOP button on the Crestron.


The Doc Cam’s power must be turned on manually using the controls located on the camera itself. Click here for more information regarding the document camera found in this room.

Once the camera's power is on, press the DOC CAM button on the Crestron to display the image through both the monitor and LCD projector simultaneously.


Just below the green ROOM STARTUP button is a red ROOM SHUTDOWN button.  Simply press it to power down.
