Using the Dual LCD Projectors

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.
