The Cynap Core Pro can have a wireless device attached to it. In some classrooms, it is not set up for recording in Zoom, Panopto, or Teams, but it is in others.

See this page for detailed instructions on connection to Cynap wirelessly on Mac or Windows.

Connecting Your Laptop Wirelessly:

  1. Connect your laptop.
    • On Windows: 
      1. Use the Windows Key + K Key to bring up the Project menu.
      2. Choose Connect to a wireless display
      3. Choose the Cynap for your room. 
    • On MacBook: 
      1. Select the Screen Mirroring icon in your menu bar to see available devices. 
      2. Select the Cynap for your room. 
  2. Enter the 4-digit code that appears at the top of the Cynap screen on your laptop. Your laptop will appear on the Cynap screen. 

Use these steps to display a device that is hooked up using an HDMI or USB-C cable; this includes the document camera or a laptop.

Option 1. Control Panels: If your classroom has a control panel where you choose HDMI, USB-C, or Blu-Ray player follow these instructions:

On the Control Panel under the Cynap Input menu, select the device you want to display from the Cynap onto the projector. You can select from your document camera, laptop connected with HDMI or USB-C, or Blu-ray player.
Note: Your control panel may look different than the image on the right.

Option 2: Wall Touchscreen Only

The camera in your classroom can be controlled by the Control Panel in your room. You should see a Camera control button on the panel. This is usually under the Cynap menu. On this button, you can pan, tilt, and zoom in with your camera. In some classrooms, cameras may have preset controls that will move them to a set spot and zoom. Try out the controls available to you in your room.

Tip: if you are zoomed in, the pan and tilt will be more pronounced. Zoom out to have more control over the movement of the camera.

These cameras are set up to use with Zoom or Panopto, which you can access through the WebRTC app on your Cynap.


conference microphone system

These conference-style systems are in classrooms to enable discussions during Zoom meetings or to allow audience comments to be recorded when using Panopto.

Tip: When muted, this microphone has a series of red lights around the top. Tap the mute/unmute button on the conference mic to unmute. When unmuted, it will have a green light on top.

  • Participants can be as many as 10-20 feet away from the system and still be heard clearly. Softer spoken individuals should be closer to the system. Louder individuals may be picked up as far away as 20 feet.
  • These systems do not amplify sound into the classroom.

The control panel in this room may still say it has VGA. The room has USB-C and HDMI, not VGA.
