Choosing What is Displayed

Teaching Station

Go to the Control Section, choose T Stat for the input, then either choose All at the bottom for all 4 displays or choose the display you want and then hit confirm. (You do not need to hit the confirm button for all.)

Student Stations

Then go to the Main Controller, click on Control, choose the input for that iMac (1-8 or 9-16), then choose all, or choose the display output you prefer and click on Confirm.

Playing Audio

If you want to play audio from the iMacs you will need to choose the projector for the output.
