This touch panel has a guided walkthrough you can access from the main Start page (as seen in the photo below) or from the Help page at any time to get a refresh on the control system.

The guided walkthrough has a page for each section: starting the system, input sources, projector controls, camera controls, microphone controls, volume, and the help page.

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

Selecting Inputs

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

• On your application of choice, select Mediaport 300 for both inputs if these aren’t auto-selected.

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

• On your application of choice, select Mediaport 300 for both inputs if these aren’t auto-selected.

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 presets 3 & 4 as desired by positioning the camera with the directional arrows & zoom in/out controls and then holding buttons 3 or 4 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 also means you must manually mute your microphone within the Teams/Zoom/Panopto application if you want it muted in your meetings or recording.
