Problem: The screen is black, and pressing different items on the touch panel doesn't do anything
The most common reason that you see this behavior is that the person who used the AV equipment before you turned on Picture Mute. To turn Picture Mute off, tap the System Tools button.
...
If turning off Picture Mute did not solve your problem, please call (757)594-7079 and let them know you are currently using a classroom.
Problem: No Sound is Coming from the Classroom Speakers
The first thing that you should check is that the system isn't muted at the touchpanel (You will see Audio Mute if it is). If it is, you can turn it up with the physical buttons.
...
If you're still having trouble, call (757)594-7079 and tell the person that answers that you're currently using a classroom.
Problem: The monitor is displaying icons, but the projector is not.
The display has been switched to "Extend" mode. To switch it back, right-click on the desktop and choose "Display settings".
...
If this still isn't working, call (757)594-7079 and let them know you are in a classroom.
Problem: The document camera is not displaying, or is frozen
Double check that the document camera is on by pressing the power button on the camera. A green light will be lit if it's on.
...
If the image is frozen, make sure you don't have "Freeze" activated.
Problem: I need to access something in the cabinet, but it's locked and I don't have a key
The lecterns are supposed to be kept locked at all times. If you've been issued a key for ANY standard lectern (any lectern except the Digital Humanities one), it will work on all lecterns on campus. You can get a key issued by contacting Will White (757-594-8236 or william.white@cnu.edu) or Jan Dougherty (757-594-8263 or janna.dougherty@cnu.edu) to request key training. Unlocking lecterns for others or giving your key to others is prohibited.

When you're done with the computer, sign out by clicking on the Start menu, click the users menu, then sign out.

Then, gently lower the camera down using the handle. Do not press down on the camera head.
Using the Blu-ray player
There is a Blu-ray/DVD player located in the cabinet. Put the DVD or Blu-ray in the player.

You can then control the player with the touch panel.
Display different items on different screens
Sometimes it's helpful to display different things on different screens in multiple-screen classrooms. To do so, tap Advanced Routing.
...
Tap the item on the top, and the screen that you want to send it to on the bottom. You can also choose which item's sound plays on the classroom speakers.
When you leave
To keep the system working for your colleagues, it's very important that you properly exit and lock the system. This should happen unless you physically see the next instructor entering the room.
