Presenter Station

Computer Log-in:
Use your BYU NetID and Password.

TV/Camera Interface:
There is a small, black box with a screen on the wall behind the computer. This is the interface you will use to switch the input for the TVs and control the camera.

If the screen is all black, tap on it to get started. The screen should light up, and you will be in one of three menus. You can change which menu by pressing on its name at the top of the screen.

  • Here you can switch which input the TVs will display. You should see 3 large buttons with 3 smaller ones below. The large buttons allow you to select which TV you would like to change the input on. The small buttons are to select which type of input.

    Display 1 - TV furthest from the door.
    Display 2 - TV right above the panel.
    Display 3 - TV closest to the door.

    Blank - Turns off the TV display. This does not fully turn off the TV, so this is good if you want to hide your screen.
    PC - Mirrors the computer's screen.
    HDMI Cabel - Mirrors whatever device you plug into the available HDMI cord at the desk.
    HDMI Port - It is located behind the Presenter's podium on the wall next to the display. If you have a cable, this displays whatever is plugged directly into the HDMI Port.

  • Here you can adjust the volume of the room's speaker system. The best way to control volume level depends on what type of device you are using for audio.

    PC: Use the audio controls on the PC itself to adjust volume. The controls on the podium touch panel will do little to nothing to adjust volume.

    Mac: Use the podium touch panel to adjust volume. It's part of Mac OS to disable the audio control on the mac itself when using HDMI to output audio.

    Regardless of what type of device you use, be careful when adjusting volume as the controls are sensitive.

  • Here you can switch between several preset camera perspectives, or manually position the camera using the directional and zoom buttons. If you'd like to see what the camera is recording, use either a zoom meeting or go to the website shown in the bottom left of the screen. This website will allow you to remotely control the camera.

    For room control, go to cameras.av.byu.edu
    Enter code: (find it on the display)

If you need immediate help, reach out to the lab assistants at the front desk. If they can't solve the problem, pressing the "help" button in the top right of the screen will bring up the contact information for OIT's Audio-Visual (AV) support team.

The Lights

There are two light switches in this room. One is to your right as you come in the door to the right of a whiteboard. The other is positioned between the two whiteboards to the left of the presenter's desk.

Both switches control the lights in tandem and have the same functionality. There are 5 buttons, a large one on the left and 4 smaller buttons arranged vertically on the right. As you read the descriptions below you can reference the infographic for specifics on what it looks like.

The Large Button

Press on the top half to turn all lights on and press on the bottom half to turn all lights off. You can press and hold on either the top or the bottom to brighten or dim the lights respectively.

The Top 3 Small Buttons

These are the presenter modes. These buttons turn off the lights closest to the whiteboards and TVs while leaving all other lights on. As you descend through the presenter modes the remaining room lights get dimmer.

The 4th Small Button

This button toggles the lights closest to the whiteboards and TVs on or off. This works in any of the presenter modes.
