Event Spaces AV functionality

This area describes the AV functionality available in the ARC's event spaces. It is not a list of technical specifications and focuses on the functionality available in each space. 

Common Elements

Full HD vs 4K Ultra HD Resolution 

All of the projectors in the building are native WUXGA resolution – 1920 x 1200 (16:10).  The motorised projection screens are in the correct 16:10 ratio.  The projectors are compatible with Full HD resolution – 1920 x 1080 (16:9) – which is what tends to be output from PCs and laptops. Some laptop displays are WUXGA resolution.  Such laptops will also output WUXGA from their HDMI port, which will be supported. 

All of the LCD monitors in the building are native 4K Ultra HD resolution – 3840 x 2160 (16:9).  However, their output may be constrained to Full HD, depending on other equipment in the circuit (e.g. matrix switchers).

Multimedia PCs

Many of the AV locations are equipped with a multimedia PC running a standard desktop environment based on Windows 10.  Common software is pre-installed, including Microsoft Office, Teams and Zoom.  These PCs are locked down using software known as Deep Freeze, which prevents software being installed and resets the PC back to a known state when restarted. 

By default, PC monitors are mirrored to the displays in that location.  However, it is possible for users to reconfigure the PC to output separate signals for the PC monitor and displays.  The PC monitor should be set as the main monitor to enable PowerPoint Presenter View.  Restarting a PC undoes this configuration. 

Wall-mounted Control Panels 

A standard wall-mounted control panel is shown alongside.  These control panels provide physical buttons for display on/off, input selection and mute plus a rotary volume control.  The input labels will vary by location.
