In many classrooms, control panels have been updated with a new style that will eventually replace all of the styles below.

To turn on your system, you’ll press the Turn System On button. When finished, you’ll return Home and press Turn System Off.

To choose what you show on the screen, select the Screen option, and then choose the option you want to show. In a classroom with one screen, you’ll have only the a single Screen option to choose from. In classrooms with multiple screens, you’ll have the option to show different images on each screen or can choose to have the same image on each screen by tapping each Screen individually. If that classroom has other devices, such as presentation recording systems, classroom supplied computers, etc., those tabs will appear as options under either the menu under the screens or as options to show on the screen.

To adjust audio levels, you’ll have the options for in-room audio or Zoom/Panopto audio. Remember in larger classrooms, if you have different images on each screen, you will need to choose an option for which audio source you want to be heard over the room speakers.

Physical Control Panels

Physical Control Panels are located in some rooms on campus. These panels are mounted to the wall and will have buttons to press for turning the display on/off, choosing HDMI, VGA, or Cynap – depending on the room. Use the round turn button to increase or decrease audio volume in the room.

Note that some of these wall panels are also being replaced with simplified versions of the new style control panel. See your classroom’s page by going to the Find Your Classroom section above and looking for the building and room number.
