Selecting Media:

Projectors:

After the left portion of the screen loads, select your media source on the touchscreen (ie: will you be projecting information from a laptop connection, the main computer, a DVD, the doc camera, or auxiliary input?)

Your chosen source will be projected onto both screens.

Keep in mind that both screens can only show one source of media. For example, you cannot display a DVD to one screen and the computer desktop to another.

To display one of the student stations onto the projectors, select the option “Student Stations.” Eight tables will appear. Choose which table’s monitor you want to project. It will be highlighted in green when it is displaying on the projection screens.

If at any point you would like to project from a different monitor to the projection screens simply select another table number.*

                    *In order to change which monitor is being projected make sure that you are choosing the table

                      from the “Projectors” half of the AMX panel.

To blank the screens, press “Blank screen.” Select whether you would like to blank projectors, monitors, or all of the above.

Monitors:

Each monitor corresponds to its own table. On the panel in the center of the table there is an “On/Off” button in the lower right-hand corner. Press it.

Each table has its own supply of connection cables. Connect the appropriate cable to your laptop or personal media device.

Select which source you would like to project to the monitor by pressing the corresponding button on the panel in the middle of the table.                      Your options include: VGA #1, VGA #2, HDMI #1, HDMI #2, Disp. Port #1, Disp. Port #2, and Comp. Video. 

Your media device will display to the table’s monitor now.

1. To select another table, press another number.
2. To display the projector on all monitors, press “Projector Source”
3. To blank all the screens, press “Blank screen” on the monitors side.
   1. You can then choose if you want to blank the projectors, the monitors, or all of the above.
4. To turn off all of the monitors, press “Turn off”

Classroom Lights via the AMX Panel

1. From the wall to the windows (left to right) the first, third, and fifth lights constitute the “front lights.”
2. The second and fourth are the “back lights.”
