Library AV Room

Using the room computer to project

  • Turn on the television using the remote (power button is in the upper-left corner).

  • Use the input button on the remote (below the scroll wheel and arrows pad; looks like a little cable or tail ... see illustration LibAV.1 on this page) to select the "Room PC" input on each television, if not already selected.

  • Turn on the room PC mounted on the wall to the right of the television (power button is on right side).

  • Use the wireless keyboard and mouse to sign in to the computer with your AMBS account (the one you use to sign in to your own computer).

    • Keyboard or mouse not working?

      1. Check that they are both turned on (there are switches on the keyboard and mouse).

      2. Replace the batteries (there are rechargeable batteries plugged in to the outlet near the floor below the TV). Charge the used batteries!

Using your own computer to project

  • Turn on the television using the remote (power button is in the upper-left corner).

  • Use the input button on the remote (below the scroll wheel and arrows pad; looks like a little cable or tail ... see illustration LibAV.1 on this page) to select the "User PC" input.

  • Connect your PC using the HDMI cable in the room. (Note: if you want to play sound, and you are using an adapter with the HDMI cable, you may need to play audio directly from your computer instead of through the TV speaker.)

Using videoconferencing (Google Meet, Zoom, etc.)

Follow the steps for using the room computer to project. You may want to join the meeting from your own PC with the volume and microphone muted so that you can share your screen and still see remote participants, and so the experience for participants in the room and participants at a distance are more comparable.
