• The Resident Computer is always connected and available to anyone with a NetID.  If you choose to use a laptop, you may connect it to the loose HDMI cable, and the system will automatically switch to that source.  The Resident Computer will only be displayed on the projector when no device is connected to the HDMI cable.
• You are encouraged to use the Resident Computer when possible, as this will allow for the most functionality and support.
• Room speakers and microphone are always connected to the Resident Computer, making this the preferred source for video conferencing.

• Touch Start on Welcome screen of touch panel.
  • Projector will start and screen will be lowered.

Display Tips

• PC monitor and projector image may be set to "Duplicate" or "Extend."  "Duplicate" will display the same content on the desktop monitor and the projector image.  "Extend" will make them separate Windows desktops.  You must choose "Extend" in order to use Presenter Mode in Powerpoint.
