Walk-up Media Station Classroom Help Guide
This is a general help guide for all classrooms with this style touch panel. While the steps and location of buttons are the same regardless of which style room you are in, there may be slight discrepancies in font, color, options and icons, dependent on the slight differences in hardware.
Please note that some photos include imagery of a computer mounted inside the wall mounted media station. In rooms such as E4310, E3415, E4320, and E4330 in the Library, as well as SBS S218 & S228, the computer is located within the lectern.
For specific details about your classroom, please refer to the Installed Classroom Equipment Guide or contact Classroom Technology & Support Solutions.
Classrooms with a Walk-Up Media Station often feature a lectern which houses the classroom computer and a touch panel located at a separate wall-mounted station.
Rooms without a lectern still have a computer. It is instead located at the walk-up station.
Reference the photos below as examples of a room with a lectern and one without. In both instances, the touch panel will be located at the Walk-Up Station.
Getting Started
Step 1: Power on the media system.
Locate the touch panel at the Walk-Up station.
Power on the system by quickly tapping the power button located in the bottom left corner.
Please allow up to 20 seconds for the system to power on. During this time, you will be unable to touch other buttons on the touch panel.
If the screen is blank, tap the center to wake it.
Step 2: Log into the computer or connect your device.
If using the installed computer, move the mouse or tap the spacebar to wake up the computer.
Use your NetID and Password to login.
To use your own device, plug it into the HDMI port. This can be found inside the walk-up station.
In a Walk-Up Media Station Classroom, the input panel is located beneath the touch panel.
Select HDMI on the touch panel to have the projector display your device.
Please provide your own adapters. Standard cables can be borrowed from the Support Office in the Javits Lecture Center.
Step 3: Powering Off
Locate the power button in the lower left corner of the touch panel to turn off the media system.
Tap the button to begin powering down. When asked to confirm, select “Yes”.
This process can take up to 20 seconds.
Additional Controls and Options
1. Room Elements
Controls here give you more control of individual components of the media system. Some rooms have more options than others based on what technology is installed in the classroom.
Using Projector Power or Image Mute lets you disable the projected image but keeps the system powered on. Playing audio samples will not be affected by using this feature.
2. Hiding the Projected Image
To hide what the projector is displaying, without the need for turning off the system, tap the Image Mute button.
This will hide what is being displayed on the projector until you disable it.
The button will flash while it is active.
3. Audio Controls
Controls here give you more control of the audio for the media system. Some rooms have more options than others based on what technology is installed in the classroom.
Use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to raise or lower the volume, respectively.
Mute will silence all audio coming from the classroom speakers.
The main volume slider to the left side of the touch panel is present on each tab of the touch panel.
“Program Volume” only affects loudness of the classroom speakers and does not impact the volume level of a YouTube video, the classroom computer, etc.
