Computer Classroom Crestron Media Cabinet Instructions


What is the Media Cabinet?
The Media Cabinet allows you display the image from the instructor's computer, a laptop, the DVD/VHS or Blu-ray player, or an external AV device on the projector screen. The Media Cabinet also allows you to connect your laptop to the network (which can also be accomplished wirelessly). The Media Cabinets installed in the computer classrooms are very similar to those installed in lecture halls on campus.
Note: If you have any problems or questions, please ask the Computer Room Consultant (CRC) on duty for help.
