ADDITIONAL TROUBLESHOOTING

 

Projector saying "no signal" or not showing what the podium screen is showing

In often cases. the projector accidentally gets set to the wrong input. On the remote for the projector, press the HDBaseT button.

Some classroom projector remotes do not have this button. Instead, you will need to press the DigitalLink button. 

 

Cannot switch inputs on the switcher

In more rare cases, the switcher will not switch between the different inputs. If you see a red button on the far right, then that means the switcher got locked. Press and hold the red button for 5 seconds or more to unlock the switcher.
