How to use the audio-visual technology in the PK 250 classroom

Information​​​​​​

The Parks 250 classroom is equipped with two large displays, a camera, ceiling microphones and speakers, and a PC with touch screen. A Crestron touch panel controls the audio-visual components.

Start the System

On the Crestron panel, tap Touch To Begin.

Presentation

Choose Computer Input

Choose from the following options:

• PC (recommended)
  • The PC is located in the podium. This is the default input when the system starts up. The display on the podium is touch-enabled, using your finger or a capacitive stylus. A stylus should be resting on the base of the display. Learn how to draw in Word, PowerPoint, and Zoom using the COP classroom touch screens.
• Laptop (HDMI cable)
  • An HDMI cable is available on the podium. Keep in mind that using a laptop connection will not allow for the room camera or microphones to be used, as they are only connected to the PC.

Speaker and Microphone Volume

The Volume Control slider will control the level of audio coming from the ceiling speakers. Directly below is the ceiling speaker mute button. 

There are two microphones in the ceiling. The volume is automatically set. They may be muted by tapping the ceiling microphone mute button. The ceiling microphones also have a visual status indicator on them (green light: on; red light: muted).

Camera Control

Zoom and Pan/Tilt controls are available to control the camera position. Up to four Presets can be set. Press and hold on any of the presets to set a new position. When Auto Tracking is turned on, the camera will follow the speaker around the room.

Display Control

Each of the two displays may be powered on or off separately from this screen.

Shutdown

When finished, tap the Shutdown icon along the bottom row, then choose Power Off to shut down the system.
