Data Projectors
The vast majority of teaching rooms have data projectors permanently attached
to the ceiling. They are controlled either via a Control Panel or a remote
control handset. Data projectors are used to display images from the internal
PC, a laptop, the video/DVD or an external source connected via the AUX
input panel.

IC Computers
All teaching rooms have PCs installed and connected to the
Information
Commons network. Logging on to the PC with your own ID enables you to access
files on the shared work space server (Pebble) and the internet. All the
computers are running Windows XP.There is a comprehensive amount of software
installed including the latest Microsoft Office programs. See full list of
installed software
here.
Log-On Procedure:
All members of the University have access to the Information Commons. A user
name and password are required. The user name is your Uni Id number preceded by
“u” (e.g. u3012345). The password is the same password used in ISIS or HORUS.
This log-in should be identical on any machine in the Information Commons.

Laptop Connection
All our rooms which have data projectors have the facility to connect a
laptop. The cable is usually located on the AV cabinet or front bench. There is
also a cable for Network connection and audio if required.
Once connected to the system and the laptop and data projector is switched on
you may need to configure your laptop to display the image on the projection
screen.
An Instruction sheet is available Here.

VCR/DVD Player
The rooms which have data projection systems also have a VCR/DVD combo unit
to allow playback of DVD's or VHS cassettes. They play the image back via the
data projector and the sound is audible via the room sound system.The VCR/DVD
player is controlled either via a Control panel or a standard remote control.
Most of our VCR/DVD players are capable of playing Australian (PAL) as well as
USA standard (NTSC) video cassettes and multi-region DVD's.

or a Control panel.
All our projectors take standard carousel trays.

Overhead Projector
Most teaching rooms have at least an overhead projector. All the OHP's we
have installed have dual lamp facility with a 'quick change' lever/control to
enable the user to switch to the 'spare' lamp should one lamp fail during the
course of their teaching session.

Document camera (Visualiser)
Document cameras (also often known as Visualisers) are a little bit like high
tech OHP's. As well as the ability to display acetates via the data projection
system they can also display pages from books and even solid objects.
An Instruction sheet is available here.

Public Address System
The larger lecture theatres have public address or 'voice reinforcement'
systems. There are two different types of microphones:
Desk (or bench) microphones are on a lectern. They are beneficial for users
who tend to be static and remain at the lectern when lecturing.
Radio microphones (or wireless) work via radio technology, have no cables and
enable the user to roam freely while delivering their lecture.
An Instruction sheet is available here.
Note: Microphones need to be used for DLD recordings !

Push Button Control Panel
Installed in some of our teaching rooms, this simple push button panel
eradicates the need for multiple remote controls and allows the user to control
the data projector , volume and input source from one panel.
An Instruction sheet is available here.

AMX Touch Screen
Many theatres have AMX touch-screen control systems which allow complete
control of the Data projector, VCR/DVD ,Lights,Screen and Volume control by
simply touching the screen.

Aux AV Input Panel
Some of our teaching rooms have the ability to connect an external piece of
audio-visual equipment via an auxiliary panel which is normally located on
either the AV cabinet or front bench.
An Aux/External input select button button will be located on the Control panel.
