Equipment lecture Rooms

This is an old revision of the document!

To start the system/projector, click on “Laptop” in the “Seminar Offline” row. This might take a few seconds
Connect HDMI and select “Tischanschluss”. You might need to quickly toggle to a different source (e.g., “Drahtlos”) and back to “Tischanschluss” if no image is shown on the projector
After the event is over, it is very important to shut down the system via the “Beenden” button

There are 2 microphones (handheld and headset) in the cabinet on the left (facing the audience). They are located in the larger of the two drawers. Make sure to put them back after your presentation to keep them charged. Our recommendation is to use the headset for the speaker and the handheld for the moderator and/or the audience (e.g., for questions)
Please select the following settings (recommended) on the control display

The audio signal from the microphones will still be transmitted to the laptop. The setting above prevents the minimal time delay between the speaker and the sound from the speakers, which can be annoying to the audience. If you need the microphones in the room, adjust as necessary
To connect to the room's internal audio system, connect the USB-A cable to your laptop. If there is no USB-A port available, there is a tested USB-C to USB-A adapter in the drawer in the speaker's desk
In the respective video conferencing system, select “EX-128C” for the microphone and speaker (or slightly different name depending on the operating system)
Switch on the microphone(s) and verify in the audio settings of the video conferencing system that you see a change microphone volume level

The room has two cameras with a lecturer view (from back to front) and a room view (from front to back). These can be switched on using the respective buttons in the “Kamera” section on the display
The images from the cameras can be displayed on the projector using the corresponding buttons for the video source
The perspective and the zoom of the cameras can be adjusted. Click on the slider button in the “Kamera” section to enter the camera settings menu. A recommended perspective is “Kamera Dozent:in” and its “Preset 2”
To use the cameras in the room as a video source (instead of the built-in webcam), select “AV.io 4k HD Video” as the video source in the respective video conferencing system
The camera used for the video conferencing system is selected using the “Für Aufzeichnung” button in the settings “Kamera” menu

For bigger meetings/conferences, it might be useful to control the media system remotely and not via the display on the speaker's desk. There is a tablet in the smaller drawer (above the microphones). The tablet is password-protected (ask André, Steffen, or Jan for the password). To mirror the display, use the “Extron Control” app. Make sure the tablet is charged (which it usually isn't). Use the magnetic charger that is placed on the outside of the cabinet (black and round)
