iSchool Rooms: How to use the Control Panel (Multi-Purpose Room)
The control panel to the left of the cabinet on the north wall controls most features of this room. This panel is a touch screen. Touch the screen to wake it up.
Note: Please press buttons slowly. Allow the last command you gave the screen to be enabled before selecting another.
It is helpful to see how the rooms are laid out in order to understand some of the labeling in the room. Please reference the map below.
Video Options Screen
The main screen that displays when the control panel wakes up is the video options screen. This screen powers up individual televisions and the projector. Occasionally, these buttons are not active. Clicking Room On turns on all of the televisions and the projector at once. You can select individual televisions/projector to turn off from there. By default these will display the built-in computer. The televisions are labeled in the map of this room and in the room itself.

The video matrix screen controls which source (built-in computer, laptop/tablet/phone via wireless connection, or laptop via HDMI connection) is displayed on which television/projector. You can mix and match with each television and the projector displaying different sources.
