Issue
A classroom projector is not displaying anything or not the intended source output from the multimedia rack/podium.
Environment
Resolution
- Reboot the computer if there is unintended outputs on the projector that differs from the Instructor Monitor.
- Is the projector on?
- Is there a light shining from the lens of the projector? (Do not look directly into the light!)
- If there is no light, or nothing is displaying on the projector screen, try toggling the Display OFF and ON
- Note: It can take a few minutes for the projector to turn off or on. Often times you will hear a beep as well as the fans when starting up.
- Make sure the AV MUTE button is not active.
- Is there a solid green indicator light anywhere on the projector?
- Anything other than a solid green indicator light could indicate the projector is off, sleeping, or not functioning properly.
- Select a different source than the one you are trying to use, and then switch back to the desired source.
- Note: To effectively toggle between inputs, both inputs must be on.
- Are the video cables connected securely?
- If using a personal computer or a multimedia station with a laptop:
- Press FN+F4 or Windows + P to toggle display settings
- Make sure Extend or Duplicate/Mirror display is selected
