2. Select your input source: PC, Laptop or Doc Cam.

   1. PC: sign into the in-room desktop. It may be in extended mode, which treats the projector as a secondary screen and will only display when signed into the PC. To change it back to duplicate, navigate to Settings > System > Display > scroll to Multiple Displays > select Duplicate these displays from the drop-down menu.

   2. Laptop: plug in your device into the HDMI cable directly or use the USB-C adapter

On the physical Doc Cam itself, there are the following buttons:

1. Light: turn on the built-in light.

2. Filter: allows you to cycle through multiple filters.

3. Rotate: flips the image 180 degrees.

4. Zoom+: zooms in.

8. Focus/ AF-Lock: focuses the live image or changes the focus mode.

   1. Focus mode is set to AutoFocus-Continuous (AF-C) by default--this is best for moving objects.

      1. Press once to focus.

      2. Press for 2s to change the focus mode to AutoFocus-Single (AF-S)--this is best for stationary objects.

      3. Press again to change the focus mode back to AF-C.

9. Power: turn the device on/off.

You can utilize the microphones and camera on either the in-room PC or your personal laptop.

Selecting Inputs

PC: Teams, Zoom, and Panopto should auto-select the camera & microphones as these are already connected

• Select Mediaport 300 for both inputs if it doesn’t.

Laptop: Plug in the USB cable labeled as “Cam & Mics” and then Teams, Zoom, and Panopto should auto-select these.

• Select Mediaport 300 for both inputs if it doesn’t.

Camera & Mic Controls

Camera controls

• There are two locked presets for the camera: the wide-angle view and the zoomed-in view of the front of the room. There is also an auto-tracking mode that can be toggled on to follow the presenter.

  • Users can set two additional presets as desired by positioning the camera with the directional arrows & zoom in/out controls and then holding preset 3 or 4 down for 3 seconds. See the camera control page below.

Microphone Controls

There are two microphones: a lapel microphone and handheld microphone. While amplifying your voice locally, the mics can simultaneously be used in conferencing or recording as we programmed specific Acoustic-Echo Cancellation (AEC) software.

• Volume: Control the individual Mic levels and Mutes from the Mic Levels page OR the Overall Mic Level & Master Mute from the Home page. See both below.

• Amplification: If you would like only use the microphones for conferencing/recording and not amplify your voice locally, simply turn on the Master Mic Mute

  • Thus, this only mutes the local amplification

  • This means you must manually mute your microphone within the Teams/Zoom/Panopto application if you want it muted in your meetings or recording.
