MH 122 Projectors

The undergrad lab/collaboration room in Malone Hall room 122 has various projectors available for presentation use:

• A ceiling mounted projector in the main room is connected to the ugrad1 lab machine and has video connectors on top of the ugrad1/ugrad2 table for use with laptops. The screen for the projector automatically comes down in the front of the room when the projector is activated.

• "Short-throw" projectors in each of the three small breakout rooms have connectors to be used with laptops. The wall closest to each breakout room projector acts as the screen.

The main room projector is controlled from the small Crestron control panel on the ugrad1/ugrad2 collaboration table.

NOTE: When you are done using any of the projectors for your session, please remember to shut them down afterwards.

Using the Main Projector With The ugrad1 Linux Lab Computer

Currently unavailable as Kit-cats (the campus A/V group) is troubleshooting an issue with the connection. They are awaiting software patches to the A/V system that connects ugrad1 with the A/V system.

Using the Main Projector with a Laptop

• Lower the projector screen.
  • Press the down arrow on the screen control panel, which is on the wall below the clock.

• Plug your laptop into the HDMI cable on top of the table closest to the printer.
  • If you only have DisplayPort, DVI, or VGA connectors on your laptop, you'll need an adapter.

• There is a small Crestron control panel on the collaboration table next to the video input box.
  • If it's displaying the time and date with a dark background, touch the power icon on the right border of the display to turn it on.
  • If it's displaying the time and date with a light background, touch the computer icon in the lower lefthand corner (right next to the home icon).
  • If it's already shows "Present a Source", go the the next step.

• Touch the "HDMI" button.

• At this point you may configure the projector as a second monitor on your laptop. It will probably appear as a monitor named "Crestron Electronics, Inc 36".

• IMPORTANT! When you're done with the projector, please shut it down by pressing the power symbol button on the right border of the Crestron control panel to shut down the projector, then press the up arrow on the screen control panel to raise the screen.

Using the Breakout Room Projectors

Each breakout room has VGA and HDMI connectors on the wall. There are also audio jacks to be used in conjunction with the VGA connectors.

• Connect your laptop to either the HDMI or VGA connector.
• Press the appropriate button on the input selection panel to the left of the connectors.

• IMPORTANT! When you're done, please press the "PWR OFF" button on the input selection panel to turn off the projector.
