    Getting Started

    To begin, press the Power button located on the control panel.

    Selecting Display Presets

    The system uses four main presets to control what your audience sees:

    • Desktop (Mirror): Displays the exact same content on both the podium monitor and the video wall.

       
    • Desktop (Presentation): For PowerPoint or Google Slides. It sends your primary slides to the video wall while keeping your secondary screen (with presenter notes) on the podium monitor.

       

    • External Device: Use this to present from a laptop or tablet.

      • Wireless: Connect via Airtame for a cable-free experience. This is the system's default setting.
      • Wired: Plug into the system using the provided HDMI cable and adapters. Once connected, the room will automatically switch to your device's display.


       
    • Desktop + External Device: Displays external and desktop source on both the video wall and podium monitor.

    Privacy & AV Mute Mode

    To hide your screen while typing passwords or checking email, use the AV Mute feature: 
    Select the Eye Icon to open the mute menu.

    • Tap Hide Content. This stops the video wall from displaying any source and mutes all audio.
    • Tap the Show Content button to display content and resume your presentation.

    Camera

    Choose the setting that best fits your meeting style:

    • Auto-Switch: The smartest option for dynamic discussions. This mode uses the ceiling mics to identify the active speaker and automatically switches cameras for the best angle.
    • Presenter: Uses the rear camera to focus on the front of the room.
      • Tracking On: Automatically follows the speaker as they move.
      • Tracking Off: Provides a steady, wide shot of the presentation area.
    • Audience: Uses the two front cameras to capture clear views of all attendees.


    Recording Your Event

    The Ideas Lounge features recording software that can capture the video wall and camera feed as a high-definition video file.

    • Start Recording: Press the Record (circle) button. The button will turn red to indicate that recording is in progress.
    • Pause Recording: Pauses the recording without ending the recording, allowing you to start the recording again without splitting the video file.
    • Stop and Save: When finished, press the Stop (square) button.

    Microphone

    The Ideas Lounge is equipped with a "hands-free" ceiling microphone array that captures crystal-clear audio without the need for handheld or lapel mics.

    These microphones are active by default which is indicated by the green lights located on the corners. Simply press the Ceiling Mics button on the touch panel to toggle between Active and Inactive states.The lights on the mics will go from green to red to indicate a muted state.

    Handheld, Lectern & Lapel Microphones

    While the ceiling microphones capture audio for recordings and remote participants, the Ideas Lounge also provides dedicated microphones for local voicelift—ensuring everyone in the physical room can hear the speaker clearly.

    • Gooseneck (Lectern): Ideal for formal presentations. Simply adjust the gooseneck to your height and speak directly toward the capsule.
    • Mic (Handheld): Perfect for audience Q&A sessions. Hold the microphone close to your mouth (about 2 inches away) for the best clarity.
    • Lav (Lavalier): Best for presenters who prefer to move around. Clip the microphone to your collar or lapel, approximately a hand-span below your chin, and ensure the battery pack is switched ON.

    To get the best sound quality from the microphones, follow these tips:

    • Mind the Volume Balance: Set individual mic levels on the touch panel first, then use the Main Volume to reach your final desired loudness. This prevents "clipping" and keeps the audio clear.
    • Prevent Feedback: Avoid turning up either the mic volume or the system volume too high, as this can cause high-pitch feedback noise.
    • Check the Mute Status: If you cannot hear your voice being picked up by the microphone, check both the physical button on the mic (should be green) and the touch panel (ensure the specific mic is unmuted).
    • Wait for the Solid Green: Don't start speaking until the light stops flashing. A flashing light means it’s still trying to "talk" to the receiver, and your voice won't come through yet.
