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).

Open

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 mode, 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

   3. Doc Cam: Check that the Doc Cam is powered on--this should be indicated by its light.

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

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

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

3. Rotate: turns the image 180 degrees.

4. Zoom+: zooms in.

6. Exposure+: increases exposure.

7. Exposure-: decreases exposure:

8. Focus/ AF-Lock: focuses the live image or changes the focus mode. The default focus mode is set to AutoFocus-Continuous (AF-C)--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 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

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.
