Classroom Technology FAQ
The college is working to update all existing classrooms with the Pole Vault display technologies. In rooms that have been updated, you will see a push button control box to turn on the projector and select your output (computer, laptop, document camera).
From the push button control panel, ensure the power on button is illuminated. Then push the source button of the source you wish to display.
If it is still not displaying, select a different source to see if the display changes and then select your desired source again.
If the problem persists, restart the control panel and your computer. To restart the system, select the button in the upper right-hand corner of the touch panel that says "POWER OFF". Depending on the room, this can take up to three minutes. Once you see the lights stop flashing on the projector, press the Power On.
From the control panel, touch the sound button and make sure the mute is not turned on. Also, check the sound level on the control panel and computer to make sure the sound is turned up and not muted.
