Boebel 213 Conference Room Technology Guide

An overview of the conference room presentation system in Boebel 213.

Getting Started

Select your desired presentation mode from the touch panel:

  • AV Presentation - Local Recording: Use this mode when presenting with visual aids (PC, laptop, mobile device, etc) to a local audience. This mode also allows users to record to a USB flash drive using the room’s built-in USB recorder.
  • Audio Only – No Recording: This mode only turns on the audio equipment in the room. Used when presenting without visual aids, but sound reinforcement (such as a wireless microphone) is needed.
  • Web Conferencing – Cloud Recording: Use this mode when remote audiences need to view the presentation.
