Quick start guide
On the controller on top of the podium, press ON, and choose a button to select your input.
If you want to show slides in presenter mode, your best bet is to plug in a laptop using an HDMI or VGA cable, which you should find on the podium. Check whether you have used the input for Laptop 1 or Laptop 2, which will be labeled on the cable. Choose that input on the push buttons, and wait for the projector to show your desktop; hit the present button, and you should see your notes on your laptop and the slides on the projector(s). You may need to plug in a secondary cable for audio, which should also be labelled Laptop 1 or Laptop 2.
If you want to run Zoom and send the microphone feed there, you will need to do that from the podium computer. Choose the PC input on the push buttons. Use the audio settings on Zoom to make sure you have the right speaker and microphone selected–the ‘Test Speaker & Microphone’ tool on Zoom is very helpful for this. The microphone is a wired mic on the podium.
When you are finished, press OFF on the podium, and log out from (do not shut down) the podium computer.
