Mackey Hall Building Controls

This section documents the current Mackey Hall room-control setup for internal operators. Use it as the source of truth for the wall touchscreen, projector, rear TV, projector screen, sound system rack, iPad audio controls, microphones, computer audio, Bluetooth audio, and input switching.

Start here when you are preparing the room, verifying that the controls still match what is installed in the building, training another tech volunteer, or troubleshooting a basic room-control issue before moving into OBS, Proclaim, livestream, camera, or maintenance procedures.

Quick Start

  1. Turn on the sound system if you need microphones, computer audio, or Bluetooth audio.
  2. Lower the projector screen if the projector will be used.
  3. Turn on the projector or rear TV.
  4. Connect your device and select the matching video input.
  5. Use the iPad audio controls to choose the right preset and unmute the channels you need.
  6. Test both picture and sound before the event begins.
