AV SYSTEM MANUAL

Each system is operated via an 8.4” touch panel, which serves as a small computer and should be treated with care. To wake up the panel, users simply need to touch the screen. The menu navigation on the panel includes various functions, such as Power (on/off), Battery Status, Network Status, and Power Button, which is located on the side of the panel. The large conference rooms are equipped with wall docking stations, allowing users to use the panels in place or release and carry them into the room. A fully charged panel can operate on battery power for three to four hours, and the battery pack may take up to three hours to charge in a powered touch panel if the panel is in use during charging. When the panel is not in use, it should be returned to the wall or table top docking station. The General User Interface Features on the panel provide current system connection status and power readings, including indicators for system self-diagnostic, WiFi connection, and battery/power status. These features enable users to understand the system's status and take necessary actions. To begin using a room, users need to press the "Present" button, which activates the room setup feature and allows users to send video to the displays and audio to the speakers. The presentation page contains three panels: room sources, room displays, and a help message window. Users can send a source to a display by pressing the source button and selecting one or both displays. The display will power on automatically, and any associated audio will be routed to the speakers. The available sources on the panel include DirectTV, Rack PC, and Blu Ray player. DirectTV allows users to watch news, weather, and other programming, while the Rack PC provides access to network resources, including Adobe Connect and saved presentations. The conference table interface is equipped with an HDMI digital input, which can be used with DVI-D, HDMI, and Display Port outputs from more recently developed laptops and other digital devices. The Blu Ray player can be used to display DVD or Blu Ray disks, as well as audio disks and previously recorded media. Once users have routed the desired source to the display(s), they can control the device using the device controls on the top menu bar. For example, users can control the DirectTV system by pressing the DirectTV icon and using the remote control-like interface to change channels and access station shortcuts. Similarly, users can control the Blu Ray player by pressing the Blu Ray icon and using the remote control-like interface to play, pause, and record video and audio.
