  • The classroom’s Mac Mini, which is located inside of the media cabinet underneath the TV, is connected via HDMI to the HDMI 1 slot on the TV.

    • TV Specs:

      • Model: Samsung TU8000 75” UHD 4K Smart TV

      • Resolution: 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160)

      • Available connections:

        • HDMI 1 - Mac Mini

        • HDMI 2 - Barco ClickShare

        • HDMI 3 - Direct HDMI Cable

      • USB-C to HDMI adapters available for borrowing via DTA.

  • Aside from using the Mac Mini to project to the TV, users have two other options for casting media:

    • The first option is to use the Barco ClickShare casting device that is already connected to the HDMI 2 slot on the TV. To do this:

      1. Grab a Barco ClickShare Button from the media cabinet and connect it via USB to your laptop.

      2. Open the ClickShare client on the laptop.

      3. Change the TV input source to HDMI 2.

      4. When the physical ClickShare button changes to white, it’s ready to cast whatever is on the laptop’s screen to the TV. Click the button to share the screen to the TV.

        • When the button is red, it means it’s casting. When the button is white, it means it’s ready-to-cast but hasn’t casted yet.

    • The second option is to plug directly into the HDMI cable that extends to the center of the conference room. This cable is connected to the HDMI 3 slot on the TV, so the input source must be changed to HDMI 3 in order to see the contents.

  • The Logitech camera and microphone are set as the default camera and microphone for the Mac Mini. Using the installed Mac Mini and Logitech combination will yield the best video and audio results for any type of teleconferencing that needs to happen in this room.

  • The base, which includes the microphones, is located inside of the media cabinet.

  • The camera is located above the TV. It is high enough that it is out of reach, and it is able to capture the entire room.

    • The camera is controlled by the buttons on the base or the Logitech remote.
