This document will cover the standard operation of the Devereaux Financial Data Center. This is the only classroom space on campus with this double projector extra-wide display design.
When you approach the teaching station, the control panel screen will automatically light up if not already active. On the Welcome Screen, you are presented with 2 activation options. Press the button that reflect how you want to use the system. The panel will beep to indicate that the button press has been detected. When you hear a beep, you can remove your finger from the panel. You will have the ability to change your mind without turning the system off.
Both LCDs - Both projectors will activate, both projector screens will automatically lower and the computer screens will be routed to their corresponding projector.
Left LCD Only - This option will only activate the LCD projector and screen closest the the door to the hallway.
Audio Control - Pressing this button will present you with the option of unmuting the room's speaker system without turning on the projectors. This button was added to help reduce the occurrences of students changing the computer audio settings when using the lab in off-hours.
As the system turns on, the Welcome Screen will be replaced with a Startup Screen. This screen is linked to the control computer and will prevent changes until all of the selected devices report as ready. In most cases, this screen will be displayed for less than a minute.
Startup Screen
Once the system is ready to use, the Startup Screen will be removed from view to showing the Main Page. It is from this page that all options from the room are applied.
From this page you can:
- Select an input to show on the projectors
- Select the destination of the input
- Adjust Volume of the room speakers
- Turn individual projectors on and off
- Mute the video going to each projector
- System shutdown process
Main Control Screen
The process of changing what input is being displayed on either of the room displays has two steps. This process can be repeated at any time while the system is active to change what is displayed.
Step 1 - Select the Source from the uppermost part of the control panel Main Page. Only 1 Source can be selected at a time. Once a Source button has pressed, a Destination panel will be shown in the center of the Main Page.
System Input Options
Step 2 - Select the destination. From the Destination panel now shown on screen, select the display that you want the Source to be displayed on. The only Destination options for this space are the Left Screen and the Right Screen.
*** If you want to use a laptop connection and you will need audio through the room speakers. That computer's content must be sent to the Left LCD. ***

Shutting Down
Shutting the system off is a two step process.
Step 1 - Press and release the red System Off button in the lower right of the control panel.
Step 2 - Press the green Power Down button that is shown in the center of the screen. This extra button is a confirmation in case a user accidentally hits the System Off button noted in step 1. If you see the confirmation page on the control panel but want the system to stay on, press the Cancel button.
