Troubleshooting 3250 (For Staff)

  1. Projection display issue (Description: If either of the sources do not work while selected in the console).
    1. Power Cycle through sources and count to 20 before trying again: Shifting the sources from Laptop to Podium PC, sometimes takes time to reflect on the projection screens and pod monitors.
    2. Computer monitor display settings: Check the PC/laptop display settings to confirm/check if the screens are mirror/extended. Projection screens may have black screen due to the ‘extended screen’ option selected in the particular devices if not logged in already.
    3. Adapters: Check the adapter functionality (specifically for Macbooks, 3rd party adapters won’t work well in projection).
    4. Restart system: Usually this step is the final step if all the above steps don’t work.
    5. Who to contact if all else fails:
      1. EUC Technical/Support staff located in room 2250 on the 2nd floor.
  2. Audio output issue (Description: The audio played in your device isn’t playing out through out audio system).
    1. Check the audio level on the Touch Panel.
    2. Check your device’s audio settings (Follow the navigation)
      1. For Mac users: Control panel -> Audio -> Change source from MacBook audio to Crestron system
      2. For Windows users: Settings -> Audio -> Sound (Change source from laptop audio to Crestron system)
