2. Enter the Meeting ID (found on your laptop's Zoom window).
3. On your Laptop, go to the Participants list, find the "Room," click the three dots (...), and select Make Co-host.

Waking up the room is automated through the Touch Panel:

• Touch and hold the green System On button in the center of the panel.
• Note: This will automatically lower the projection screen.
• Turn Projector on with Remote.

On the Touch Panel, select what you want to show to the class:

• Lectern PC: Tap this to use the built-in computer in the podium cabinet.

Launch your scheduled meeting in Zoom to begin your class:

This room features professional ceiling mics and dual cameras. Connect audio/video to your Zoom meeting.

• Mics: In Zoom, set your microphone to Shure P300 for ceiling-based echo-canceling audio.
• Camera Selection: In Zoom’s camera settings, you will see two camera options both labeled “AT-HDVS-CAM.” Selecting either option will toggle between the Presenter Cam (podium) and the Class Cam (audience). Switch between them until the desired view appears.
• PTZ Controls: Use the Touch Panel arrows to Pan, Tilt, or Zoom the active camera.

When finished, please tap the System Off button in the top right corner. This preserves the projector bulb life and raises the screen.

1. Tap the main screen to activate
   Note: The touch panel may be less sensitive—press firmly.
2. On the next screen, select “No”.
   Note: Some projectors may not respond to the automatic power-on command.
3. Turn on the projector using the remote.
   The remote is located on top of the podium or inside one of the drawers.

• Podium Computer: Ensure the computer is powered on (located inside the podium cabinet).
• Laptop: Connect your device using the HDMI or VGA cable provided on the podium.

• Screen Height: Use the “Screen Up” and “Screen Down” buttons to adjust the projection screen height.
• Pic Mute: This function freezes the displayed image—useful when you need to hide content temporarily.
• Audio: Volume controls (Up, Down, Mute) are located on the right-hand side of the display.

Ensure the cart is plugged into a wall outlet, then power on:

• The Screen: Power button is located under the lower right-hand corner.
• The Mini PC: Mounted behind the right-hand side of the screen. Press the power button on the unit.

The 75" display acts as a giant tablet. Use your finger or the Stylus (found in the magnetic holder on the side). Use Microsoft Whiteboard or Zoom Whiteboard to annotate over slides.

In Zoom, select Logitech MeetUp/Rally for the camera and Logitech System for the speaker/mic.

Plug into the HDMI input on the right side of the screen; it will automatically switch to your laptop display.

Go to the Participants list, click Claim Host, and enter your 6-digit Host Key.

On your laptop, click the "^" next to the Mute button and select Leave Computer Audio.
