The Campus Center uses a Crestron control panel to manage the projector, projection screen, audio, and presentation inputs.

You can connect your computer wirelessly using Apple TV or ScreenBeam, connect directly with HDMI, or play a Blu-ray/DVD.

Tap the screen to wake it up.

Choose the input you want to use:

The projector should turn on and the projection screen should lower automatically when a source is selected.

Using the Microphones

Wireless microphones are available for presentations and events in the Campus Center.

Turn On the Microphone

Press and hold the Power button on the bottom for 1–2 seconds.

Confirm the microphone turns on.

Use the switch on the front to mute or unmute the microphone as needed.

Important: The switch on the front of the microphone controls Mute, not Power. Be sure to turn off the microphone using the Power button on the bottom when finished.

If the microphone does not turn on, check the batteries.

When you are finished using the Campus Center:

Disconnect your computer or stop wireless screen sharing.
Turn off any microphones you used by pressing the Power button on the bottom.
On the Crestron control panel, select Shut Down.
Confirm the shutdown if prompted.

The projector will turn off and the projection screen should retract automatically.
