AirMedia For Presenting To Display Or Projector

Revision as of 18:45, 26 November 2018 by Steve410.cs.jhu.edu (talk | contribs)

AirMedia is a system that allows users to wirelessly cast their laptop/phone/tablet screens to a conference room's displays. AirMedia is now built into some of our A/V conference rooms. Currently supported rooms include:

  • MH-107
  • MH-122 (CS Undergrad Lab.)

Let's say you're in a meeting in MH-107 with your laptop. MH-107 has two side-by-side large TV monitors. You have a slide presentation that you want displayed on the screens. Simply activate AirMedia on laptop and you can cast to those screens.

Configuring AirMedia in a Supported CS Conference/Meeting Room or the MH-122 Ugrad Lab

Please follow these steps to connect your laptop to the display screens in AirMedia-supported rooms:

  • Turn on the TVs/projector using the Crestron touch panel.
  • On the Crestron's touch panel, choose AirMedia source.
  • The TV/projector will display some information.
  • On your laptop, enter the URL that is provided to you by the TV/projector. For example, in MH-107, you'll enter http://10.161.160.230
  • The TVs/projector will also provide a code.
  • On your laptop, enter the code provided by the TVs/projector.
  • A driver will automatically load onto your laptop if this is the first time you're using AirMedia.
  • Your laptop's display will appear on the TVs/projector.

IMPORTANT NOTES!

  • Only one device can be shared to the TVs/projector at a time.
  • AirMedia will have a control window on your device to end the connection when you are finished.
  • A brief version of the above directions can be found in the rooms supporting AirMedia.
