Using The AOC Auditorium
The following are instructions for preparing the AOC auditorium to
host a Colloquium. It is assumed that the speaker has a laptop based
presentation which should be projected onto the screen. It is also
assumed that one or more NRAO sites wish to attend via the video
conference system.
Hooking up a laptop to the projector
- Connect the VGA cable to the back of the laptop (looks like a
monitor cable.)
- Power on the projector
- boot up the laptop
- Toggle the LCD/CRT mode of the laptop. This is commonly a key sequence
like Function F8 and will usually switch from LCD, CRT,
LCD+CRT, LCD, etc. Wait 5 seconds between each attempt.
In the event the laptop still doesn't display properly, halt and turn
off the laptop, power off the projector and disconnect the VGA cable from
the laptop.
- boot up the laptop
- Connect the VGA cable to the back of the laptop (looks like a
monitor cable.)
- Power on the projector
- Toggle the LCD/CRT mode of the laptop. This is commonly a key sequence
like Function F8 and will usually switch from LCD, CRT,
LCD+CRT, LCD, etc. Wait 5 seconds between each attempt.
Setting up for video conferencing
- Get the cabinet key from the receptionist
- Get the wireless mic labeled LAV1 out of the foam box
next to the mixing board. Turn on the wireless mic by moving the
power switch, located next to the wire, from
off to on.
The low battery light should come on briefly then go out.
If it never comes on or never goes out then replace the battery
with a new 9volt and throw away the old one. New batteries can
be found in the same foam box as the mic was found.
- The switch found on the front face of the mic labeled
mic is a mute switch and will allow you to leave the
mic on yet not transmit any sound from it until you are ready. For
now, leave it in the off position.
- Power on the wireless mic receiver labeled LAV1 on
top of the right cabinet.
- Power on the mixing board in the middle right cabinet by pressing the
red button in the top right corder of the board. The board has numerous
sliders and dials, none of which you should need to adjust.
When ready to begin presentation
- Un-mute the wireless mic by moving the mic switch,
located on the front of the device, from off to
on.
- Make sure the mute is off on the polycom unit.
- Charlottesville should actually establish the video conference
connection.
Other Notes
- There is a wireles mic for the polycom phone system. The mic is kept
in the right side of the cabinet and is labeled LAV 2
so it is not confused with the wireless mic for the video system. The
base unit is on, or sometimes under, the table along the west wall
where the polycom phone system is.
