These rooms have standard control panels with six command buttons.

  • Power: Turns on and off the systems for the projector.
  • Mute: Pauses the projection.

  • Volume: Controls the volume of the room speakers. (Please adjust the volume on built-in computer or laptop first.)

You can also join the same meeting on your laptop (muting your laptop) for ease and comfort, but be sure the built-in computer is handling sound. 

  • HDMI 2: This enables you to project a laptop screen via an HDMI cable. 

  • VIDEO: This will give you the same options as PC (in rooms with Solstice capabilities this will be the setting you will need to use).
  • VGA: This will give you the same options as PC.
