System

The Audio Video systems of Sem1 classrooms are controlled via touch panels. Larger rooms have touch panels on the lectern, smaller rooms have a 3-inch touch panel mounted on the wall. For more details, visit the Touch Panel Overview.

Sem1 - AV TouchPanel Overview How to Control

The Sem 1 - Classroom AV racks hold the core of each classroom's AV system in a wall mounted enclosure. The Mac Mini is mounted here, and there are 2 USB-C ports on the front (a USB-A hub converts one for additional ports).

This image shows a Sem1 AV rack.

In the rack bays are the following:

Wireless mac Keyboard and Mouse (on top of the rack)
1. Rack HDMI panel --or-- DCI nameplate (shown)
2. --covered with a security mesh-- CatchBox Receiver (for both wireless mics); Solstice Wireless AV device
3-4. Extron Crosspoint video switcher with AV control processor
5. blank plate
6. PTZ camera integration converter box(es)
7-8. --covered with a security mesh-- AV system networking
9. Extron MediaPort meeting bridge; encoder for display signal; Power supplies
10-11. Mac Mini ; If the top bay is NOT the Rack HDMI port, Rack HDMI is to the right of the Mac Mini
12. --covered with a security mesh-- power conditioner for rack

To use the Sem1 "wireless AV" input: Make sure your computer is on EvergreenSecure wifi Using Edge or Safari connect to the URL IP shown on the instructions of the wireless AV screen follow the prompts to authenticate the onscreen PIN select the window(pick from list)/browser/screen in the share selection.

As of noon on March 30, these steps have worked successfully on PCs. We've had no-go issues with Chrome and Firefox on PC and Mac so far.

Catchbox Mics Lanyard/Clip Mic - The power button is on the back - it is behind the clip!

Is there some way to turn on the mini mac? Yes, next to where the face of the mac mini shows in the rack, just down from one of the corners is a black button - that is attached to a mechanism that depresses the power button on the bottom of the mac mini. So if its off, tap that should bring it on. Its also possible if it is in standby the keyboard may be able to wake it. under normal conditions they don't need to be turned off, they will go to a powersave mode when not in use, and reboot at 7AM every day.

-'''Seminar 1''' Newly renovated for the spring 2026 quarter, Sem1 contains numerous AV classrooms, many of which support Hy-flex integration. We are hoping the contractors soon complete our new AV system installations, and we can get back to trying to grow this into a complete training and reference resource for these spaces.

-''Status of 16 June, 2026 - integrators will be onsite next week to hopefully get the last 2 things we know about working: a projector control issue in 2103 and one of the ALS transmitters is not working.
-The Evergreen Media Maintenance team is continuing to finish the testing commissioning process that apparently wasn't able to be finished in the project schedule for some reason, and we are working that out now. We believe that as of today, the 1st floor and some of the 2nd floor classrooms should be fully functional and problem-free with the exception of the 1 Assistive listening emitter device. We should get the remaining rooms to the same state next week or the week after, depending on other factors.
-;Status note 18, May - The integrators have returned and some of the AV punch-list has been completed. These changes rolled back some UI updates we had made in a few rooms, and restructured the underlying control configuration in some spaces. Hopefully this will lead to a more stable systems, but this also means requested UI/ control updates and extending the timeout period of the auto-off, and adding HDMI inputs to the rest of the rooms that didn't get it in the install will take a touch longer, as we need to wait for them to finish changing things before we do the after-them work. So hang in there, we are getting things ready, and will roll out these improvements as soon as we can.
-;status of 29, April 2026 we are still waiting for punch-list completion on the AV commissioning. There are a few things we are finding that were never completely installed, and there are some ongoing random problems that are occurring but should have been mitigated or workaround steps provided.
-:status of April 3, 2026  AV systems in Sem1 are still undergoing commissioning work. They are mostly complete, and a punch list has been submitted to our project manager so the contractor can address the remaining aspects. Please bear with us as we endure this crossover transition of using classrooms and technology before it is fully completed.''
