We’re getting ready to open our meeting rooms up to the public again, so it’s time to learn (or re-learn) how to set up the audiovisual equipment in the meeting rooms. You may be aware that there is a massive update to the meeting room AV in the works, but that won’t be completed before the meeting rooms are open again. New modules will be posted when that happens. Aside from some brand-new laptops, the technology available in the meeting rooms remains the same as it was pre-pandemic.
Please click on a link to review the updated modules associated with that technology set.
- Cart 1 – This media cart is associated with the Multipurpose Room (a.k.a. the large meeting room).
Cart 2 – This media cart is associated with Meeting Rooms A and B, as well as the Hurr Education Center. Cart 2 has been phased out now that the Hurr room and Room B/AB have their own technology. There is currently no tech for room A by itself.- NEW! Room AB Technology
- Hurr Education Center Technology
- Accessories – Items found in the meeting room closet that can be used with the carts.
- Lifesize Share – An easy-to-use device to allow devices to connect to an HDMI-enabled projector wirelessly.
- wePresent – a backup wireless presentation system purchased by the Friends during the last audiovisual upgrade in the Multipurpose Room. The wePresent can be used with any projector that has an HDMI input. It has many, many features, so this portion of the training will be broken down into multiple modules.
- New teleconference equipment. We are not yet allowing the public to request these, but the library owns a Meeting Owl Pro for small groups and a Logitech Group system for larger rooms.
If you prefer in-person learning, Selena and I will be offering practice and testing windows when the meeting room is available. Keep an eye on the All Staff channel in Teams for time slot announcements. During these time slots, I will be happy to demonstrate any available tech upon request. When you are ready, I will ask you to set up and troubleshoot the tech based on likely scenarios. Hopefully, having me available to answer questions will ease potential frustration with these more complicated modules. As always, I welcome any suggestions that might help make these modules more user-friendly.
