Using the Dual LCD Projectors
This room is equipped with dual LCD projectors. The SMART Board's LCD projector is the main display; it powers on when the room is started.
The ceiling-mounted LCD projector is the secondary display. This projector is powered on/off by pressing the PROJECTOR button on the Crestron and then using the appropriate touch-screen controls.
After choosing a source button on the Crestron, you must select the display destination (SMART Board or Projector/Screen) before the image will appear. Sources sent to the SMART Board will have accompanying audio played in the room and, in the case of the resident computer and document camera, the image will also appear on the lectern monitor.
Sources sent to the Projector/Screen will not have accompanying audio. If the ceiling-mounted LCD projector has not been turned on at the "Projector Control" screen, the Projector/Screen button will be inactive until that display is powered on.
Projector Standby
Each source page (COMPUTER, LAPTOP, DOCUMENT CAMERA, DVD, etc.) has a Projector Standby button located in the lower left corner of the screen. Pressing this button will place the projector in standby mode. While this mode is active, the button will flash. Simply press the button again to take the projector out of standby mode.
NOTE: This feature is used only by the ceiling-mounted LCD projector.
