Room 126: Using Dual Projection

An overview of using dual projection from the control panel in Room 126. By default, only one projector (B) turns on when selecting an input.

Projector A is closer to the entrance.

Projector B is further from the entrance.

When you press "Use the Built-in PC", "Use a Laptop", or "Use the Blu-Ray / DVD Player" on the Control Panel, Projector B should automatically roll down. To begin Dual Projection, go back to the Home Screen on the Control Panel and press “Dual Projection.” You will see the following:

Dual Projection Screen

The boxes in "Projector A" and "Projector B" control which device will be projected on each of the respective screens. Press one of the following that you would like to see on each screen:

MAC: Displays whatever is on the mac built-in PC.

WINDOWS: Displays whatever is on the windows built-in PC.

HDMI: Displays whatever device is hooked up to the HDMI cable.

WIRELESS: Displays whatever device is wirelessly connected via Solstice or Apple TV.

B-RAY: Blu ray is not supported in the room anymore.

Display Mute: Turns off the projector.

The boxes in "Monitor Audio" control which of these devices uses the room audio. Note that whichever one you pick will also display on the built-in PC. The built-in PC can still be used if you are using the audio from another device, but you will have to look at whichever screen it is displaying on when navigating.
