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, and mic systems if they're present.

When the system is off, the touch panel will display a "Touch Here to Begin" screen. We do not use any passcodes or keys. When you touch the "Touch 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.
