Shapiro Science Center, Seminar Rm 3-37 Access: gained via your dept administrator
TEC Rm. – Level B
This room utilizes a data projector, focused on a manual, ceiling-
mounted screen that pulls down in front of the whiteboard. A wall-
mounted control panel is located adjacent to the screen.
Displaying a Laptop
1. To operate the projector, use the white system control panel,
surface-mounted on the front wall, adjacent to the screen.
2. At the wall control panel, press the ON button to turn on the
screen. Allow 45 seconds for projector warm up.
3. Select either the TABLE LAPTOP or the WALL LAPTOP,
depending on where you connect, either @ the laptop connection
at the black, table pop up, or the white wall connection point.
The button will illuminate when selected. On both the table and
wall connectors, a small LED will turn green when your laptop
signal is detected. One (1) high bandwidth laptop cable has been
assigned to your dept administrator. Contact Media Technology
Services (MTS) @ext.6-4632 if interested in borrowing or
purchasing additional cables.
4. DISPLAY RESOLUTIONS: the data projector can display
most resolutions, though we recommend 1280x1024 (SXGA)
for best results.
5. BEST PRACTICE TIP: before powering on or opening up your
laptop, connect both ends of the cable and select the LAPTOP
input on the control panel. At this point, power on and open up
your laptop. MAC users must provide their own MAC
adapter. *Refer to our “laptop display tips” for more info.*
6. PC LOGON: Use your UNET name and password, in the
USERS domain. **Going wireless? If not in the UNET
USERS domain, you may logon as a “guest user” with
your email address. **
7. AUDIO can be played from your laptop using its headphone jack,
by plugging in the audio connector attached to the Laptop cable.
Volume levels from any source may be controlled using the
VOLUME
knob on the control panel.
Displaying a video device
1. External video or audio sources may be shared using inputs at
both the table and wall connection locations. If desired, items
may be ordered from Media Technology Services (MTS), ext.6-
4635. If you just need video/audio cables, please call MTS
(ext.6-4635 or 6-4632) to arrange pick up.
2. Once you have connected your video player, select either the
TABLE VIDEO
or WALL VIDEO button, depending upon
where you chose to connect your device.
3. AUDIO can be heard from your device if you have properly
connected the audio cables. Volume levels from any source may
be controlled using the VOLUME
knob on the control panel.
***Lighting controls are wall mounted near your entrance
door. MTS does not maintain the lighting, but you can
contact Brandeis Facilities at ext. 6-4385.
**When Finished**
1. Press the OFF button at the wall control panel. Be sure the
projector shuts off to save energy and save lamp life!
2. Return or neaten up any cables to help maintain the facility.
