AirMedia For Presenting To Display Or Projector

Revision as of 20:46, 13 December 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 monitor screens. 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 & Running 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 the bottom left corner.
