Included technology
SINE 190 is a mac/PC computer lab classroom. The instructor lectern/podium features mac and windows computers and laptop cables, all connected to 2 large wall-mounted TVs.
Instructions
Starting screen
Find the touch panel on the podium surface. Touch anywhere on the touch panel screen to turn on the classroom TVs. If the Touch panel is not on the Seattle U screen (pictured below), you may need to go through the shutdown sequence to get back to this screen, then touch it again.
Selecting a computer
The lectern has both Mac (Apple) and Windows (PC) computers that share the same monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If you are using one of them, make sure the appropriate blue indicator light is lit up on the grey KVM switch box (shown below), pressing the respectively labeled button if needed.
Selecting a Video/Audio Source
After using the touch panel to turn on the TVs, the following screen should appear. Tap one of the 3 icons on the bottom row to select the desired input. Pressing the PC icon will show either the PC or Mac on the displays, depending on which one you have selected on the grey KVM switch. If you are connecting a laptop or personal device, press the Podium HDMI or Podium USB-C icon, depending on which type of cable you are using to connect the laptop.
Connecting a laptop
You may connect a laptop either before or after selecting the appropriate touch panel input. The laptop cables can be found in a cubby/pocket with a retractable cover near the back of the podium surface.
HDMI and USB-C cables can carry audio signals to play on the classroom speakers. If you are having trouble displaying an image or playing sound from your laptop, please see https://seattleuniversity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ISD/pages/1685520393.
Audio Mute, Video Mute, and Volume controls
These are the functions of the buttons labeled above:
audio mute - mutes/unmutes the audio coming from the room speakers
volume controls - changes the volume of audio coming from the room speakers
video mute/screen blank - instantly turns the large TV displays blank without turning off the TVs
When you are finished:
Please turn off the TVs by pressing the “System Shutdown” button at the top right of the touch panel.
You will then be asked to confirm that you would like to shut down - press “Yes”. Pressing the “video mute” button only blanks the screens without shutting them off.
