The lecture hall is equipped with six wireless microphone channels, labeled WX1 through WX6. Six lavalier and six handheld microphones are located in the podium drawer, also labeled WX1 through WX6. Any combination of six microphones can be used during a presentation as long as only one microphone per channel is used.

*** Meaning only 6 mics can be used at any given time.

The room is also equipped with a ceiling-mounted microphone which will capture the sound of members of the audience. The ceiling mic is quite good and can be sufficient for teleconference events that are not being recorded or live-streamed. 

To change the volume of the mics: 

Click MIC on the right side, this will show you the common mics we use. Click SHOW ALL MICS to see more.

*** Best Practice before a lecture/talk is to MUTE ALL MICS then unmute the ones you want to use.

The lecture hall has two cameras, one in the rear of the room and one in the front. By default, the system will use the rear camera with preset 1.

 To use the camera controls, select ADVANCED then CAMERA CONTROLS.

Here you'll be able to control the camera with PAN & TILT and ZOOM functions. You'll also be able to switch between cameras by toggling between CAMERA REAR and CAMERA FRONT.  

The lecture hall system is set up to stream the events to the two large monitors in the lobby area outside the lecture hall. By default, the monitors will automatically switch over when the lecture hall AV system is started and switch back to the signage when the AV system is shut down.

To manually turn the monitors from video -> signage or vice versa hit ADVANCED. Here you can toggle between VIDEO and SIGNAGE for both the left and right monitors.

Note: 

You can change the volume settings for the monitors under the MIC tab and adjust the LOBBY MONITORS volume slider.

The Lecture Hall Crestron controls 5 displays. The left & right lobby monitors, the left & right projectors inside the room, and the confidence monitor located in the rear of the room. 

To manually turn all of these off and on hit ADVANCED, then DISPLAY CONTROLS. Here you can toggle all 5 displays independently of each other. Hit MORE to see the two lobby displays. 

The Lecture hall has preset video/audio routing for the Laptop, iMac, Zoom, and Camera modes. These can all be changed manually to display whatever is desired.

Hit ADVANCED, then hit AUDIO/VIDEO ROUTING. Here you'll see two sections, STEP 1:  SELECT YOUR SOURCE and STEP 2: ASSIGN YOUR DESTINATION.  

This will allow you to change what's being projected on the displays, what is being captured for recordings/live streams, and where the sound output is coming from. 

*** There are many unique options one can choose from, remember to click MORE in both sections 1 & 2 for more options.

Note:

Zoom rooms 1 - Presenter's shared screen/ Zoom participants sound

Glass Wall Light

The glass wall light is controlled with a dimmer switch located in the front right of the room between the glass wall and the exit door.

Room Lights

There are two ways to control the room lights. The first is with the physical control panel located in the front right of the room between the glass wall and the exit door. The second is on the Crestron panel, in the top right corner under LIGHTS. For presentations/lectures make sure to turn the lights on as bright as they go.

Sun Shades and Room Darkening Shades

The room has two sets of shades: sun shades and room darkening shades. Both are controlled with switches located in the front right of the room between the glass wall and the exit door.

• The sun shades are the primary option to block out glare from the sun but still allow some light into the room. This is what ICERM normally uses during lectures.
• The room darkening shades are a much darker option that blocks out all of the light coming through the windows. These are used occasionally when watching video presentations in the room.
