Andrews MPR
Room Tips
The switches to control the projector screen and room blinds are in the closet on the right hand side near the door. The projector switch lowers or raises the screen. The blinds controls are also located near the projector switch.
Andrews MPR uses the same "black box" hardware as the synchronous classrooms aside from not having a front or rear camera.
This room has 2 mic inputs in addition to the room speakers, one paired to the room's lavalier mic and one paired to the room's hand-held mic. Spare batteries should be present if needed and are supplied by physical plant. Please do not touch the channel settings or move equipment from its designated room.

Wake up the control panel's touch screen by touching it.

Troubleshooting Steps
If the projector not projecting, please change the input in case the system is out of sync. Ex: if using the computer, change the source to HDMI and use Windows + P and choose duplicate.
If that does not work, it may help to turn it off using the provided remote.
Once the projector has cooled down which may take some time, you should be able to use the remote to start the system. Be patient for the projector to turn back on fully. The projector should then be back in sync with the panel. Use "Windows+P" to select what contents are to be displayed on the projector.
