In all CATS teaching spaces where lecture recording is available, the room will be fitted with a Shure wireless radio microphone receiver. Each lecture theatre has its own operating frequency, which is displayed on a small orange or newer silver sign on the lectern.
To set the operating frequency in your teaching space please read the CATS Radio Microphone User Guide. Or, see our Helpful How To Video HERE. Please remember to turn your transmitter off when leaving the theatre.

Learning Environments are trialing new digital microphones in the following theatres which come equipped with both the handheld and lapel microphone so the old SLX mentioned above will not work - please ensure you return the ULXD mics to the charging cradle after use, ready for the next user.

The AV system is controlled via the AMX touchscreen. If the screen is black, simply touch it to wake it up and press the ‘System On’ button in the bottom right hand corner.

Once the system has started, select the source required e.g. computer then press the ‘Display on Projector’ button located in the centre of the screen. The AV system will automatically turn on the data projector and the projection screen will descend. Please note that the projector may take a minute or so to warm up, so there might be a short delay before you see anything on the projector screen.

If you are in a room that houses two data projectors, it’s possible to display information from two input sources at the same time. To do this, select your first device and press the ‘Display on Projector 1’ button on your computer screen. Next, select your second device and press ‘Display on Projector 2’. Audio is attached to the projector you select last.  

For a list of our rooms equipped with two data projectors, please call extension 56639 or view Room Management (login required) 

Our system is set to save power when it is not in use; when you turn the system on, the monitor should also light up. If the system is already on and the monitor is still not working, please check that the power button (located on the bottom right hand side of the monitor) is switched on.

Our rooms are equipped with a VGA cable and a HDMI cable to connect your external laptop. If your Laptop does not support these connection ports, you may need to purchase a dongle to interface between your laptop and our system.  

To display your laptop please select ‘VGA Laptop’ or ‘HDMI Laptop’, depending on which connection method you are using. 

There are four USB ports in each teaching space, located on the top of the lectern beside the laptop input plate and power outlet. Insert your USB into one of these input ports to connect it to the internal PC.
