Other Equipment
Microphones
Larger rooms are equipped with wireless microphones for room amplification. There are two wireless mic packs: one with a headset element that is worn over the ear, and one with a lavelier element that clips onto your clothing.
Turn on the mic pack using the switch at the top.
Please turn off the mic pack and place it back into the charger base.
NOTE: The mic packs will only correctly fit in the cradle one way.
Cameras
These rooms will have a Logitech Meetup camera mounted onto the desktop. It comes with a built-in microphone and a remote control that allows for pan/tilt/zoom and mute.
Note: The Document camera is also detected as a camera. Make sure you have the correct camera selected in Microsoft Teams' device settings.
Wacom
The Wacom One is a digital pen display.
It is a secondary display or monitor. It's not a tablet. It doesn't have any apps on it. The included stylus must be used, or you may use the presentation computer's mouse.
Make sure the Room PC's desktop is in extended mode vs duplicate mode. There are icons on the desktop to easily switch between display modes.
If you intend for this to be projected onto the screens, you will need to select the WACOM as the input source and select the correct destination source (as described above).
Document Camera
The Document Camera is a digital device that captures and displays everything being captured on the whiteboard below it. To use it, simply lift the arm up and the light and camera should become active. If you intend for this to be projected onto the screens, you will need to select the Document Camera (DOC CAM) as the input source, (as well in Teams under Settings > Devices) and select the correct destination source (as described above).
