iSchool Rooms: How to Use the Control Panel (Room 53)

The control panel in Room 53 is a labeled switching device that uses three control buttons.

Control Panel Guide

This control panel is located in the unlocked equipment cage next to the desk at the front of the room (note that the cage may be closed/latched upon arrival). There are three labeled buttons on the device in the middle of the cage that change what displays on the TVs in the room. Just click the button you need.

  • BUILT IN: This button projects the built-in PC to all of the displays and is connected to the room's built-in speakers, camera, and microphone.

  • HDMI: This button projects your laptop screen when you plug in it into the HDMI cable at the desk (HDMI or USB-C connection). You will not have access to the room camera or microphone using this method but will be able to play audio.

  • WIRELESS: This button allows you to project your Apple device wirelessly via AirPlay by providing a connection code on the screen. You will not have access to the room camera or microphone using this method but will be able to play audio.
