How do I use an Extron controlled instructor station?

Resolution:  To control an instructor station that has an Extron unit on the desk, see the instructions below.

 

Instructor station technology that can be found in the following classrooms:

Cook Hall CH207        
Nevaldine North NN124 NN128      
Nevaldine South NS117        
Newell Vet Tech NVT107 NVT109      
Payson Hall PH206 PH209 PH211 PH213 PH219
Wicks Hall WH006 WH008 WH102    

Turning the projector on and off

  • To turn the projector on, press the ON button under display options
    • To turn it off when you are done, press the OFF button

Changing the input source

  • To rotate through the selected input options, press the intended source
    • The selected source will appear on both the projector and the monitor on the desk
    • To return to the original source (usually PC), simply select the PC button on the Extron

Adjusting the volume

  • To adjust the volume settings, two things will need to be checked. The first is the volume from the selected source (PC, for example). That volume must be turned up.
    • The second thing to check is the volume control knob on the Extron. Usually you will want this at 3 or 4 out of the 5 options. You can adjust this by using the volume control wheel

Momentarily muting the image on the projector

  • To briefly shut off the projector while you are using it, but not shut it all the way down, simply press the 'Blank On' button on the Extron.
    • This can be useful for when you need a moment to enter a password into a field and don't want students to see.
  • When ready to display the projector again, simply press 'Blank Off' and the image will reappear on the projector.
