ALERTS AND ANNOUCEMENTS

Whipple 105

The main projector in Whipple 105 blew a bulb this morning. We have 3 on order, but they have not come in yet. In the meantime, User Support Serives placed a projector on a cart that is hooked up to the main computer via an HDMI cable. And if you have any issues, please call the HelpDesk at ext. 8803.

HBS 205

The touch panel in HBS 205 has burned out. User Support Services has just placed a laptop in the room, which will display the very same controls and activate the equipment in the room. Simply select what you need with the mouse, and what you need should come up. The original touch panel will be sent out for repair tomorrow, and hopefully it should be back soon. If the laptop is asleep, just wake it up as you normally would, and the display should appear. Please do not "log off" the laptop. And if you have any issues, please call the HelpDesk at ext. 8803.

Alger 102

The equipment controller in Alger 102 has burned out. There is no replacement available. In its place there is a new controller, the Extron MPS 409. One consequence of this fix is that the touch panel on the podium no longer works. You now need to TURN THE PROJECTOR ON and OFF with the remote that is on the podium. Also, the selection of your source (Computer, laptop, VCR) is now engaged by pressing the appropriate button on the MPS 409 Each source is labeled accordingly. The complete instructions for this new switcher is attached to this E mail….Also, I’ve left a set of instructions in a clear folder on top of the podium along with the projector remote. Please look at them…

Although the room is now a bit different, it should still function adequately for you. Sorry for any confusion or difficulties, but we needed to act quickly so that the room was up and running as soon as possible. Over the summer, if the budget allows, we plan to “re fit” all of Alger with newer, better equipment.

If you run into any problems, please call the Help Desk at ext. 8803.
