At knee level on the front of the teaching station, press the small black button next to the “Computer On” label.
At this point, you should see the computer desktop on the monitor at the teaching station and on all of the projector screens. If you don’t see the projected image, be sure the Hide Image button on the touch panel is not blue/selected.
If you’re still having trouble, contact PEPS by calling x5002.
When you’re done, please press the red SHUTDOWN button.
Connecting & Projecting from the Teaching Station using a Laptop with HDMI or Adapter

If your computer requires an adapter, make sure the black HDMI cable is plugged into the appropriate adapter. Plug the HDMI cable or connected adapter into your laptop/device.
At this point, you should see your laptop display projected on the screen. If you don’t see the projected image, be sure the Hide Image button on the touch panel is not blue/selected. You may also try connecting using one of the other connection options.

4. Under Screen A, select which “device” you would like to project to that specific screen. Repeat for other screens using the same device, or different devices.

Follow the on screen instructions, which may include re-entering the URL and then typing in a code that appears on the projection screen.
- When using the Screen Mirroring option, users will click the Screen Mirroring icon at the top of their Mac Device, select the screen name indicated on the projector screen, and then enter the corresponding AirPlay code.

Using the Built-In Camera for Video Conferencing or Recording
Camera operation for videoconferencing or Panopto recording is only possible with the built-in teaching station computer, the wall-mounted video camera, and the touch panel controls. Some faculty use the camera together with Zoom to project the whiteboard writing to the screens for increased visibility.
How to operate the Cameras:
-
Sign into your preferred video conferencing or recording software, such as Zoom or Panopto, and launch a session.
-
Select the camera input called “EASY IP Mixer.”
-
Select the audio input also called “EASY IP Mixer.” Note: for audio functionality, users must use either the handheld or headworn microphone.
-
Adjust your camera angle and zoom by pressing the Camera icon on the touch panel and using the controls.
At this point, users should see and hear themselves through the WCC235 installed video camera and sound system.
If you’re still having trouble, contact PEPS by calling x5002.
