To present content onto the projection screen(s), desktop monitor(s), playback audio, or use the microphone(s) you must interact with the Touch Panel. The Touch Panel is usually located in the center of the presentation station and can be relocated to accommodate your reach.

The Welcome Screen features the university logo and a few significant phone numbers. Once you move beyond this page, it will not be available again until the system is restarted. If you need access to the emergency numbers, please touch HELP in the bottom row of the icons as described below.

IMPORTANT: If the Touch Panel is nonresponsive or appears differently than below, please call the Tech Team Helpline at 656-2604 or submit a Help Request. Please let us know if you require immediate assistance or are merely reporting the issue.

To begin, "Touch Anywhere To Start."

The control program is designed to allow users to display selected content on multiple screens and monitors by assigning sources (devices) to locations (destinations).

The primary control page is divided into two sections: Video Sources are on the left, and Video Destinations are on the right.

Touch an icon to select a Video Source, then touch a Video Destination icon. You can assign a single or multiple sources to different or all destinations.

This is an example of a classroom with three Projectors and two Monitors.

All GP Classrooms have at least one Projector; some will have as many as three. Regardless of the number of Projectors, the above process is the same.

IMPORTANT: Each destination has an associated AUDIO Select option. To activate the program audio of a device touch the Audio Select button.  Once selected, the icon will change to green. Volume is adjusted by using the Program Volume slider located below.  If a different Video Source is enabled at the same destination, you must again touch the Audio Select button to feed that new program audio into the room. Once selected, the icon will change to green; adjust Program Volume as necessary.

A Video Mute option is associated with each Video Destination.  Activate by touching the button.  This will cause the screen to go up and the corresponding image to be removed, allowing access to the writing surface.  This function is only for temporary use.  It is not a substitute for POWER Down.

Below is a symbol with an icon indicating the Mute function is active.

To Unmute, touch the Video Mute button again. This will send the video signal back to the Projector and lower the screen.

The bottom of the Touch Panel has a Camera Control page, allowing each camera to be panned, tilted, or zoomed (PTZ). The preset buttons 1-4 access a previously stored camera location. You may set your own preset by adjusting the camera and holding one of the preset buttons for 3 seconds.
There is one camera facing the presenter and one facing the classroom. To switch between either camera, touch the Camera Swap button on the lower left of the Touch Panel. You can also use both cameras at once (picture-in-picture/PIP mode).

Touch the red X icon in the upper right to exit this screen.

The bottom of the Touch Panel has a page for controlling the microphone levels.

Desktop Mic is for auxiliary use.

These controls adjust the volume of the various microphones in the room. To increase the volume on each microphone, touch and drag the control UP. Touch and drag it down to lower the volume.
There is also a master Microphone Volume that controls ALL microphones' volume (lower right).

Touch the red X icon in the upper right to exit this screen.

If you need other microphone capabilities, please call the Tech Team Helpline at 656-2604 or submit a Help Request.

The bottom of the Touch Panel has a page for Audio Output Control, which affects the room's different volume levels.

• Program Volume is the sound coming from the source (Room PC or other devices)
• Microphone Volume is for...Microphone
• Output2/Desktop Record is an auxiliary output for other external recording purposes.

To increase the volume on each source, touch and drag the control UP. Touch and drag it down to lower the volume.

Please use the Power Down button in the lower right of the Touch Panel at the end of your session. This will turn off the projector(s) and raise the screen (s). You will see a confirmation screen once you touch the Power Down button.

NOTE: These control systems have a 3-hour automatic power-down cycle. If you arrive at a classroom and find the system still on, touch the Power Down button on the bottom right and start the control system again. This will reset the 3-hour timer. You can reset the timer anytime by touching anything on the Touch Panel.
