Science Library: Public iLab - SL 570 & SL 571

Overview of iLab

A teaching room with AV equipment. iLab typically is set up as one large room, but 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.
