How to Lower the Screen

  • Select Screen Down on the Screen & Lighting Control Unit to lower the projector screen. These are found at the front of the room and at the podium.
  • If your presentation requires audio, test and adjust the volume using the volume knob on the Crestron Control Unit. If the sound level is still low, check that the volume is all the way up on your computer and/or in the program on the computer.

Connecting at the Table

Connecting to the Podium

    Note: If using VGA and you need audio, be sure to also connect the headphone jack to your device's headphone port.
