Site note.
2.1 General Installation Overview
-
To the best of your knowledge, is the space free of any other potential OH&S issues?
-
For example: Ensure floor boxes are safe, and that there are no trip hazards, sharp or jagged edges.

-
This is to ensure users can make quick adjustments without having to refer to the system drawings.
Examples:
Light switches or keypads
AMX
Rack mounted equipment

-
Example of Button layout.
-
Does the Monitor automatically go back into Preview PC mode whenever there is nothing to display on the Main Display?
-
AV5 spaces have a single presenter monitor that doubles for both Preview and Foldback purposes.
Due to the 8 button keypad has no buttons to explicitly control the Preview / Foldback monitor, the Monitor automatically goes back into Preview PC mode whenever there is nothing to display on the Main Display.
i.e.
• System is shut-down (as usual)
• System start-up prior to source selection (as usual)
• plus whenever Blank source selected (additional feature so that presenter can view their PC in private)
Note: In future when we move to the Massio keypad (8 buttons plus analogue volume control) we will reuse the liberated two volume buttons for explicit:
• Preview PC
• Preview DocCam
…so that normal DARCS auto-multiplexing of Preview / Foldback functionality resumes. -
