What should I know about using the computer in a classroom for teaching or presentations?

This guide explains how to choose display sources on the classroom touch panel, connect laptops, and select proper audio settings.
It also covers system shutdown steps to ensure equipment is properly powered off after class.

 

Introduction

The classroom touch panel allows you to choose how you want to present—using the in‑room computer, your laptop, or Airtame. Follow the steps below to get started.

Instructions

1. Selecting a Display Source

Default View

When the system starts, the screen will resemble the examples shown below.

 
By default, the system is set to Computer (the in‑room desktop).

Wireless Presentation (Airtame)

If you want to present wirelessly:

• Select Wireless Presentation.
• For setup help, refer to the Knowledge Base article “Setting Up an Airtame Session.”

Laptop HDMI

If you are using your own laptop:

4. Audio Settings

Selecting the Correct Playback Device

To ensure audio plays through the classroom speakers:

1. Open the audio/volume icon on your device.
2. Select the playback device named “ATL 1080P 2CH.”
   • If this is not selected, audio will play from your laptop speakers, resulting in lower volume.

Adjusting Volume

You may adjust the volume:

• On your computer’s audio controls, and
• On the touch panel, which controls the room speaker output.
