How to use the AV systems in Grainger Halls most common classroom type

These instructions are pertinent for the following rooms in Grainger Hall:
1175, 1195, 2165, 2167, 2270, and 2280

Grainger Hall's classroom AV setup is visually very different from the AV setups in other buildings around campus. The system is meant to be as simple as possible to make the user's experience more effective and reliable.

The following is detailed information on the use of the AV touch panel that controls the classrooms AV systems. This panel sits on top of the podium in each of the rooms listed above and allows you to switch video inputs for the projection system, and adjust the volume levels of the sound systems.

When the system is off, the touch panel will display a "Press Here to Begin" screen. We do not use any passcodes or keys. When you touch the "Press Here to Begin" button the system will begin to turn on, and after the warm up period of 10 to 20 seconds, you will be ready to make an input selection.

Input Selection Page:

Once you have turned the system on by tapping the "Press Here to Begin" button, and the system has warmed up, you will see this input selection screen:

When an input is selected, it will be highlighted in grey. 

Inputs:

At this point, you have the capability to project video and audio information from a selection of devices. These include:

	The Laptop source button allows you to connect a laptop or other mobile device to the AV system via an HDMI or USB-C connection. Simply plug the cable into your device, and select the Laptop button.
	The Podium PC is a computer that is permanently in the room. Its monitor is on the podium, and you'll find a keyboard and mouse in the pullout tray. You can sign into the Podium Computer either with your Grainger Credentials if you have them, or with your NetID@wisc.edu for the username, and your NetID password.
	The Document Camera allows a user to project non-digital content onto the projector screen. Lift the Document Camera to turn it on, then select this button to project it. This device does not share any kind of audio.
	The Wireless connection option allows you to connect a laptop or another mobile device to the AV system to project video and audio without a physical connection. These rooms use a system called Wolfvision Cynap, these are universal, so an application is not required on MacOS or Windows to use them. Simply press the Wireless button on the touch panel and directions for using it will be displayed on the projection screen.  Instructions on how to use the Wolfvision Cynap for Wireless connection can be found here: https://kb.wisc.edu/wsb/page.php?id=135126

At the bottom of the input selections, there is a "Video Mute" button. This button will temporarily blank the video feed that is going to the projection system. Press it once to activate it, and then press it again to turn it off once you're ready to display your content again. 

Sound Controls:

Along the bottom right of the AV touch panel, you will see your volume controls. This will allow you to raise or lower the audio volume coming from your selected input. To increase the volume, press the volume up button on the right side. To decrease the volume, press the volume down button on the left side. The audio mute button is just to the left of the volume down button. 

Turning off the AV system:

When you are finished using the room, please turn off the AV system with the power button in the bottom left corner of the AV control panel.
