2. If you are doing a video conference, you need to connect the USB cable to connect the video camera and microphone system to your computer.

Starting your Presentation

1. Select the right presentation mode: If you arrive and system is powered on, it is recommended that you select the Switch Mode option to get back to the start to make sure the room is in the right mode.

2. Send the Laptop or PC (Podium Computer) image to the screen and Preview monitor: Select the Laptop or PC option on the lower menu (if it doesn't appear, slide the scrolling menu to the right or left until the Laptop option appears).
   The control panel will then show the available options for displaying the computer image (see below): Projector, Preview Monitor as well as Classroom sound (for audio). When you have chosen the options you want (turned red x to green checks), hit the "Send" icon to send the screen and/or audio to the selected devices.

Note for Mac laptops: If you plan to present your desktop in an online meeting, you should disable the HDCP option on this connections screen. If you forget, your online viewers may see a green or blue screen instead of your shared content. You can come back to this page and disable HDCP if that happens.
