Present in combined spaces
Some UIndy classrooms may be combined to form a larger space and will allow for projection to be combined as well. This article is designed to guide users through presenting in combined spaces.
Navigate to the following article for detailed instructions on how to Use projectors.
When using projection in a combined space, one room will be designated as "the primary." Once enabled, the control panel of the primary room will override the controls of the adjoining room. Be sure that the combine function is enabled in the adjoining space in order to project from the primary room.
Understand general classroom technology
Project using wireless presentation
- Press the ON button on the control panel to turn on and warm up the projector.
- Once the ON button light has stopped flashing, press the WiPS button on the control panel.
If using wireless presentation for the first time, navigate to Present wirelessly on campus.
Project using an HDMI wired connection
- Connect a laptop using the HDMI cable (and, if needed, the appropriate adapter) that is provided.
- Press the ON button on the control panel to turn on and warm up the projector.
- Once the ON button light has stopped flashing, you may press the HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 button to project from your wired connection.
Please note: if your selection is already lit, you may need to press it again.
Audio
- Please be advised that you will have to wait until the ON button light on the control panel stops flashing.
- Audio may be adjusted at the wall plate. Turn volume dial up until the red light displays; then turn it back down to a satisfactory level.
Specific combined rooms at UIndy
In room 380 (the primary):
- If using the HDMI cable, connect the HDMI cable in the room to your laptop (if your laptop doesn't have an HDMI port, you'll need to provide the appropriate adapter). Make sure that the opposite end of the cable is plugged into one of the HDMI ports on the wall.
