Mics, Audio, Projector

Prepare Microphones

1. There are two microphones in the cabinet below the two projectors.
   1. 
2. Bring fresh AA batteries for each use.
3. Turn on the wireless microphone on the desk (simple on/off switch).
   1. 
4. Do a quick test to ensure that the microphone is working. If there is no sound, pull out the switchboard (drawer slides out from under desk) and:
   1. Slide the "LAV Mic" slider up mid-way (control mic volume).  Adjust this slider if the volume is too loud or has an echo. (add photo with the lav and hand-held circled on the switchboard)
   2. Slide the "Master" slider mid-way on the panel (marked in the red circle below). It controls the volume level across the board.
   3. If neither of these work, call the IT help desk for assistance (471-1189).

Audio Switch Panel

Set Up Presets

1. Flip the "Screen" switch to drop the projector screen.  (Note: adjacent lighting panel is no longer functioning, controls for lighting are in a panel on the stage podium)
   1. 
2. To the left of this control box, use the projector remote to turn on the projector (Use the "Power on" button on the top left of the Panasonic remote). If this doesn't work, check the main power toggle switch along the right panel of the projector (It's hidden but there!)
   1. 

Stage

1. HDMI adapters are provided on the HDMI cable
   1. 
   2. 
2. Power outlets for laptops are on the floor electrical outlet near the stage right wall (left photo).  DO NOT USE THE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS BENEATH THE PODIUM! 
   1. 
3. If you are not seeing video, it means the power and/or ethernet have been disconnected beneath the podium.  Check the electrical box beneath the podium (right photo) to ensure everything is plugged in.
   1. There is an umbilical power cable, a standard power cable, and an ethernet cable. The ethernet cable must be plugged into this box (input is labeled 'blue plug') as well as into the Crestron box inside the podium (right photo). On the right side of the stage, connect your computer to the HDMI outlet.
   2. 

The auditorium is now ready for use!

Common Problems

The most common errors are related to connecting the computer at the stage.  

• No video? Check the electrical box beneath the podium. In most cases, someone has mistakenly used this box to power their laptops and unplugged something critical. Please use the outlets on the floor near the wall to charge your devices.
• Did you connect your computer using the HDMI outlet?
• If there is still something you can't figure it out, call the IT help desk for assistance (471-1189)
• No Audio from Computer, Check that your audio is set to the device "Crestron"
• No internet, pull the grey network cable from the stage Black box to the left of the podium and connect it to your laptop. If a adapter is required, check the ring on the HDMI Cable for a USB-C Network adapter.

Shut Down

In brief, do a reverse of the Start-Up instructions.

1. In the control room, double click power on the projector remote to turn it off.
2. Flip the "Screen" switch to raise the projector screen (unless you know the next user will need it, we do this out of courtesy to the music department users).
3. Close the doors on the windows (to prevent theft).
4. Turn off the microphone. You do not need to adjust the volume sliders in the control drawer.
5. Turn off the breaker switches in reverse order numbered.
6. Turn off the lights and lock the doors behind you (both the control room and the auditorium). Please remember to return the keys!
