Overview of iLab
A teaching room with AV equipment. iLab typically is set up as one large room. It can be divided into two (iLab A and iLab B).
There are large displays at the front of the room. They can handle input from the PC’s in the AV cabinet, a sharelink in the AV cabinet, a BYO device plugged into the HDMI wall panel at the front of each side of iLab under the touch panel towards the large TV.
There are microphones and a speaker system in the room.
There is a control panel at the front of each room. You can activate the room as combined or split and choose your inputs from the touch panel.
Checking out the ilab
Instructors should book iLab in Outlook and will need to check out a kit from the SL front desk to access and use the room.
The room is normally locked minus finals week.

Around the perimeter of the room are small TV’s with Sharelink collaborative devices attached to them. There should be an HDMI cable students can use to share content on the small screen if they do not want to use the Sharelink. The small TV’s do not have a control system. They must be powered on and off via power button or remote control.
Instructors should book iLab in Outlook and will need to check out a kit from the SL front desk to access and use the room.
The room is normally locked minus finals week.
Troubleshooting iLab
Check correct inputs - Are you using the correct keyboard for the computer and side of room you are on?
Check HDMI cables and re-seat them if using a BYO device
Are the mics muted in the touch panel (mute buttons are red)?
Check batteries for remotes and mics
Power system off and on from touch panels. If this doesn’t work, unplug it in the AV cabinet.
iLab Kit
The iLab Kit is checked out by professors before class at the SL front desk. There are two kits. One for iLab A and one for iLab B.
A common user error may be to check out an iLab A kit and set inputs in the room to iLab B. The keyboard for iLab B will not control iLab A. Switch inputs.
