16 Button AMX Panel

16 Button AMX Panel Instructions

PLEASE DO NOT INDIVIDUALLY TURN OFF SCREENS OR PIECES OF KIT. PLEASE USE THE "SHUTDOWN" BUTTON ON THE CONTROL PANEL.

Turning the system on:

On this type of button panel, if the system is turned off, the “Off” button will be highlighted. To turn the system on, you will need to press the “On” button and wait until the start-up sequence has finished – the “On” button will flash while the system starts up. Once the sequence has completed, the “On” button will be solid. You will then need to select your desired source – for example, for the room PC (on which you can log in with your Portal login) you will need to press the “PC” button – this will then turn solid to show this is the selected source.  

Turning the system off: 

To turn the system off, simply press the “Off” button – this will kickstart the shutdown sequence during which the button will be flashing. Once the sequence has completed, the “Off” button will turn solid. Please ensure you turn the system off at the end of your session (unless the following session’s lecturer is already in the room).  

  • Press “Doc cam” button
  • The doc cam light will switch on automatically
  • Use the doc cam controls on the doc cam itself to adjust settings as needed
  • When done, switch back to PC.
  • Doc cam light will switch off automatically

  • There is only one external connection option: VGA
  • To use the VGA connection, plug the cable into your laptop and press the VGA button. Remember to also plug in the sound connection attached to the cable
  • Mac users:  you may need to select the correct audio output in Sound Settings on your laptop

Volume adjustment

  • To mute the audio in the room, press “MUTE”
  • To turn the volume up or down, press the “Volume up” or "Volume down" buttons as needed

Blanking

  • To blank the projection while setting up (so the audience do not see your process, or perhaps for privacy reasons), press the “Blank screen” button. This will now flash to show the projection is blanked. When ready to present, simply press the “Blank screen” button again to unblank. 
  • Press "DVD" and insert Blu-Ray, DVD or CD into the player in the AV cabinet
  • Press "DVD" button again to put the arrow buttons into "menu navigation mode". The buttons will start blinking
