Projector Information

Bring Down the Projector Screen

Every room regardless of type will have a wall mounted controller beside the classroom whiteboard that can be used to reveal and stow the projector screen. Standard and more advanced classrooms often tie this function to the system startup when you turn on a touch panel, or will have a dedicated button for bringing down the projector screen on the instructor station.
Turn On the Projector

This process will vary from room to room; in Standard and more advanced classrooms this function is tied to the system startup. Basic Classrooms will need to need to use a dedicated remote control for handling all of the projector functions.
Switch to Desired Input Source

Locate your classrooms controller, either a dedicated remote, button panel, or touch panel, and select the appropriate input for the device you are trying to display. In most cases, inputs are labeled for the corresponding device (i.e. PC, Laptop, Document Camera, Wireless Presentation)
Present Your Content

And that's that! Remember to turn off the classroom system at the end of every class to prolong the life of the projector bulbs and avoid any unwanted down-time during classes. If you encounter any issues with displaying content, please contact support at (909) 869-4040.

Projecting in Basic Rooms

All Basic Classrooms will have remote controls that you can use to turn on the projector and change the inputs.

The projector screen for rooms with these controllers can be brought up or down with the wall panel found beside the whiteboard.

Two types of button panels can be found in either Basic or Standard classrooms:

Basic button panels are used only for switching inputs to a projector in lieu of a remote when one is available.
Standard button panels will have controls for the projector screen, projector, volume, and input selections.

Touch panels can be found in more advanced Standard rooms and their Active Learning or HyFlex counterparts.

Locate the touch panel on the lectern and tap it if the screen is blank.
Follow the on-screen instructions to start the system; this will both turn on the projector and bring down the projector screen automatically.
After waiting a moment for the projector to warm up, you can:
- Select the input source from across the top
- Adjust the volume from the right
- Adjust other options using the variable function buttons on the left or center of the screen.
  - These variable buttons will differ based on room functionality.
  - Some touch panels will have options for camera presets and individual microphone volume adjustments, while others may only have projector video mute.

Make sure the system is ON
- Press the appropriate button on a button panel, or tap the touch panel and follow the prompts
