4. Introduction
The touch panel that is being used for this room is a Crestron touch panel programmed specifically for use with the available components. When pressing the buttons to request the panel to do something (i.e. “start presentation”), it may take a few seconds to be completed. The process that goes on behind the scenes is as follows:
The touch panel sends the request to the Crestron “control unit”.
The control unit then processes the request.
The request is sent to the component.
The component responds to the request.
The control unit verifies that the request has been initiated.
A signal is sent to the panel that the request has been completed.
When a button (request) is pressed it will take approximately eight seconds for that request to be completed. However, if the button is pressed several times, another eight seconds is added on. If the button is pressed repeatedly the control panel will see the command as an error and will not perform the command. It is always best to press the button once. For example, if you press “send presentation” and you get a black screen, this may be an indication that the computer is off.

14. Video Conference Mode

15. Video Conference Mode
The video conference mode can be used in various ways such as to teach a class, hold a meeting, or view live procedures. It is meant to connect two or more distant locations in the same building, across town, or across the world.
Video Conferencing can be a very interactive tool by introducing students to various cultures, customs and ideas. The outcome and use of the equipment is solely up to the presenter as to whether they wish to use it as an extension of a lecture hall or to incorporate some interactivity into the conference.
There are, however, some limitations to the use of the equipment including full motion videos (watching a DVD). This is caused by the frame rate in which the equipment is able to send and receive the images (DVD). Another limitation is the movement of the speaker due to the camera not following the speaker when they move around. In most cases the speaker is stationary and gives the lecture within the frame shot of the camera.
