*The below items were installed mysteriously during the pandemic, and are not used (mostly because the touchscreen really doesn't work, and these items weren't particularly needed not that they are bad pieces of equipment though):

How-To

Connect to Projector

Connect Camera

You connect to the Rally Camera through the USB cable labeled "Rally" or "Webcam"

**If the image is jerky or blocky, or just doesn't look good, unplug the power for the box at the other end of the USB cable (on the wall) this should reset the camera and give you a much better image.

**There are also paper instructions I (Paul Connor) made a long time ago (minus camera stuff) in the room

Note on Audio control in Room 352

Power runs along the sides of the room, the room is more of a computer lab, but setup oriented toward the front, for presenting and teaching.

The switch box needs to be powered, it's plugged in on the left (if looking out into class from instructor desk), first row of desks, it is labeled. On the switch, there is a red light to indicate power is on, and a green light displays which input is selected.
