About projectors in reserved STC classrooms

On this page:

Using the projector via the computer

  1. To use a projector in the Student Technology Centers (STCs), you need a four-digit passcode from UITS. If you do not have one, call 812-855-3802 to request assistance.

  2. The keypad should be illuminated and should read, "Welcome, Press to Continue".

  3. Once you press Continue, a number pad will appear. Enter your passcode. The system will take some time to warm up.

  4. Some classrooms will give you the option to select between Computer A and Computer B. If there are two computers at the instructor's station, the one on the left will be Computer A and the one on the right will be Computer B. If there is only one computer at the instructor's station, that one will be Computer A and the nearest student computer will be Computer B.

  5. After selecting your input, you will receive the option to turn on the image. Wait a few moments for the projector to come on.

Troubleshooting

  • Enter the code slowly and deliberately; if you type too quickly, not all keystrokes will register.
  • If the pad is not responding, unplug the pad and wait a full 20 seconds, and then plug it back in.
  • If the projector has just been shut off, it will not immediately come back on. This is a built-in safety mechanism.

If you forget your code, or your code doesn't work

If you need a new code, for security reasons, log into the STC Request System to obtain it. Select Faculty or Staff, and then View My Account/Reservations/Projector Code. Click Continue, and then log in with your Network ID.

Shutting down the projector

  1. Press Computer A image off (or Computer B image off if that is the computer you are using).

  2. Press Return on the keypad.

  3. Be sure to press OK at the end; if you do not, the projector bulb will continue to burn, which will decrease the lifespan of this expensive part.

Using the DVD player or VCR

  1. The keypad should be illuminated and should read "Welcome, Press to Continue".

  2. Once you press Continue, a number pad will appear. Enter the access code from your Site Reservation confirmation message (i.e., "Your RGB passcode is: xxxx").

  3. The system will take a minute to warm up.

  4. You can now select your input. You may see options for VCR, DVD, or both, depending on how the lab is equipped.

  5. After selecting your input, controls for the media will appear.
