This touch panel has a guided walkthrough you can access from the 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.

1. First, turn on the system by pressing anywhere on the touch screen.

   1. This will take you to the home page, with input sources and volume control (as seen below).

2. Select your input source: PC, Laptop, Doc Cam, or Blu-Ray player.

   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.

   4. Blu-Ray: insert your DVD into the player, which is located below the desk to the right.

When you select the Blu-Ray input, you will see the following control page:

Here is the legend for these controls (this is also shown on the System Walkthrough):

Additionally, there is a physical remote, located on the shelf below the lectern.

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

1. Power: Turn the device on/off.

   

2. Source: Currently, there is no need to use this button since the only connected source is the doc cam itself.

3. Menu: Open an extended pop-up menu on the screen to change the camera’s display settings.

4. Esc: Close the pop-up menu.

5. Enter & Arrows: Select options on the pop-up menu.

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.

Recording Instructions

You can record directly in Teams or Zoom while conferencing or simply record sessions in Panopto.

Zoom:

• To begin recording, click … More > select either record to the cloud or record on this computer.

• To end or pause recording:

  • To pause, select … More again > pause recording.

  • To end, you can either click … More again > end recording OR simply end the meeting to also end & save the recording.

Teams

• To begin recording, click … More > Record and transcribe > Start recording.

• To stop recording, click … More again > Record and transcribe > Stop recording OR simply end the meeting to also end & save the recording.

Panopto

• Navigate to https://spu.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Home.aspx and select + Create for a multitude of recording options.

  • There are instructional videos directly on this home page.

  • Also reference this Panopto guide for recording https://support.panopto.com/s/article/Record-a-Video.

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.

The overall mic level and mute can be controlled from the main input page, as shown below:

For the individual mic volume levels, you will need to manually turn the volume knobs, located below the desk to the left. Each is labeled to match the labels on the physical microphones.
