Waltner 116 can be configured in one of four ways: this page covers use of 116B either as a standalone room or as joined with either or both other rooms (116A or 116C).
Waltner 116B is a Zoom Room. For best results, add this room to an event on your AMBS calendar. Add the link to your video conference as the location of your meeting. (You can connect to Google Meet, MS Teams, or Zoom from the Zoom Room.)
(You may also connect your computer to the projector using the HDMI cable in the room. If you do this, do not try to use video conferencing.)

Using 116 as a Zoom Room
All instructions below assume you are using the computer in 116B. If you want to use the computer in 116A or 116C by themselves, please see the instructions for those spaces.
Turn on the TV located under the air conditioning unit. The Zoom Room screen displays. (Use the TV remote or press the button located in the center of the bottom edge of the TV.)
If the Zoom Room screen does not appear, confirm that the TV is set to input HDMI 1.
If the Zoom Room screen still does not appear, press and hold the power button on the computer for 30 seconds, then release it and press it again. (The power button for the computer is on the left side of the computer near the bottom.) Wait for the computer to boot and Zoom Rooms to start.
Use the iPad to start your Zoom meeting.
About the Cameras and Camera Presets
About the Cameras and Camera Presets
There is one camera on either side of the TV in 116B. From left to right, they are Camera 2 and Camera 3. By default, both cameras are active when you start your meeting.
Each camera has two presets. To seamlessly (more or less) display the entire room:
On the camera remote, there are two sets of buttons. The topmost button selects the camera to control; the lower set of buttons is used for presets.
In the topmost row, select either 2 or 3. Then, in the lower set of buttons, press 1 -> Call. Repeat for the other camera. Remote participants should be able to see nearly the entire room.
To use only one camera for a smaller group of people, select either camera. Then press 2 -> Call. Repeat for the other camera. On the iPad, in Camera Settings, disable the camera in the multi-view section.
How Audio Works in 116
How Audio Works in 116
The controller for the speakers and microphones in 116 is on the wall to the right of the TV in 116B. Tapping the volume knob will make the display options appear. There are six touch sensitive buttons and a single knob. Refer to Illustration 2 on this page.
To ensure the speakers are all playing sound from the room computer, touch the "Combine (CBA)" button.
To turn volume up in 116C, tap the "Vol 116C" button. To turn it down, press and hold the "Vol C" button.
To turn volume up in 116A, tap the "Vol 116A" button. To turn it down, press and hold the "Vol A" button.
To turn volume up or down in 116B, use the volume knob.
Note: the three "Split" touch buttons on the bottom of the screen let you split from the main room into separate rooms:
CB:A treats CB as one room and A as another
C:BA treats C as one room and BA as another
C:B:A treats each room as a separate room.)

Projecting from Your Own Computer in 116B
Projecting from Your Own Computer in 116B
Use an HDMI cable to connect your computer to the front monitor via the floor box.
Use the LG remote to change the input to HDMI 3 ("User PC")
Note: your computer will be visible only on the screen nearest the floor box. Your computer audio will play only through the TV, not the room system. If you want to use your own computer and project to multiple TVs, you will need to start a video conference on the room computer and connect to the video conference from your own computer.
Also note: if you are displaying your own computer, do not attempt to use the video conference. To display your computer and also use a videoconference, join the meeting and share your screen through the meeting interface.
