How-To

Connect to Projector

  • Determine if you will be using Wireless (via AppleTV, only available for Macs and iPads), HDMI or VGA (older connection)
  • Turn the projector on (control panel on wall) - it may take about 30 sec for it to warm up and show an image
    • HDMI
      • Plug the HDMI cable into your computer (either directly, or via adapter)
      • Select HDMI on the control panel
      • *Audio will go through the HDMI cable, and you will only be able to control volume at the wall controller
    • Wireless (Only for Apple devices)
      • Select "Apple TV"
      • On computer go to Display Preferences (a few different ways to do this) one way on newer machines is in the upper right (just to the left of Date and Time) is a preferences icon Preferences icon in menu bar.png - click it, and select Screen Mirroring - Choose "Room 314"
      • Your computer will ask for a 4 digit code - you should see the code on the Projector screen (if not, you may not have selected Apple TV on the wall control panel - it should be lit up)
      • Enter the four digit code
      • You should now see your computer screen up on the projector
    • VGA (old connector)
      • Plug VGA connector into your computer (or adapter), along with the audio cable (if you need audio)
      • Select VGA on the control panel (it should light up) and you should see you screen
      • *Audio volume can be controlled via your computer, or the wall control panel

Connect Camera

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

  • Plug the USB cable into you computer (you may need an adapter)
  • Open Zoom or other application you'd like to use with the camera
  • Launch your meeting
  • In Zoom at the bottom of the meeting window, where you have a Camera icon and a little arrow, click the arrow and choose "Rally cam" - You should see an image from the camera
  • There is a remote which can be used to control the camera

**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
