Press the ON button to turn on the LCD projector. After pressing ON, wait until the
projector has warmed up before selecting the desired source button on the Extron. This
should take approximately 15 seconds. The projector will not receive the command to
switch until after it has finished warming up.
Please allow a second or two after pressing the button for a video source on the
Extron panel for it to display via the projector.
The projection screen should automatically lower when the room is powered up. There
are screen up and down controls on the Extron panel, as well as on the wall behind the
lectern.
If they are not already powered on, the resident computer, document camera, and Blu-ray
player can be powered on using the appropriate button located on each device, or with
their remote controls (if applicable).
Volume
The adjustment of volume is done using the knob located on the Extron Control Panel.
NOTE: Computers have their own volume controls which may need to be adjusted
separately.
Resident Computer @ Lectern
Press the POWER button on the resident computer to turn it on. OM 119 is equipped
with an HP computer. USB ports are located next to the computer's
power button.
Once the computer has been powered up, press the PC button on the Extron to display the
image on both the monitor and LCD projector simultaneously.

Document Camera
Emlo ELPDC21 Document Camera

The Doc Cam's power and lights must be turned on manually using the controls located
on the camera itself. If there is a glowing blue light on the Doc Cam's power button, it is
already on. If the light is off, press and release the power button. It will blink a few
times before power up is achieved (this will take a few seconds). To turn the lights on on
the Doc Cam, use the light switch located on the camera.
Once the camera's power is on, press the DOC CAM button on the Extron to display the
image on both the monitor and LCD projector simultaneously.
