Chicago Community Hall A/V Overview

When using Community Hall, there are two options for presenting to the room: using a laptop, or using the room's own computer. 




Setting Up Community Hall


Before displaying content, the A/V setup in Community Hall will need to be activated. This can be done from the wall panel next to the TV.



Press the Home Button, this will automatically turn on the TVs, now press Start Combined or Start Single Room (whichever applies to your event) to bring up the next menu



If you're using a laptop, press the Teams Unit button. If you're not using a laptop, press the PC button to switch to the podium computer. 





Using a Laptop in Community Hall


To use a laptop to display content in Community Hall, first plug in the HDMI cable coming from the tablet on the Podium. Make sure the wall panel is set to Teams Display as outlined above. 



Once the HDMI is plugged in, your desktop should appear on the TVs and audio should play through the room's speakers. 





Using the Podium PC


If the Wall Panel is set to Room PC, you can use the wireless keyboard on the podium to wake up the PC. You should then see the Windows login screen on the TVs. 



Log in here with your Adler email and password, once the desktop loads you will be able to access the web browser, office apps, and Zoom/Teams as normal.
