Projector Controls

Help Page

This screen will be displayed after pressing “Help”. This screen outlines the various functions of the Crestron controls along with contact information on how to get help.

NOTE: At the time of publication of this guide, several initiatives are underway to streamline AV support and centralize points of contact. Touch panel interfaces and this guide will be updated as those initiatives are completed. You can find the most up to date contact information in the Support section of this document.

1. Touch to request assistance: Touch this button to send a help request to the support desk.

 

2. Touch to cancel help request: Touch this button to cancel your help request.

When the Help request is triggered, the button turns green and shows a checkmark to indicate the request was successfully sent. If you no longer need help, press “Touch to cancel help request”.

NOTE: Not all systems are currently configured with the help request functionality. CDM AV Support is working to implement this functionality in all rooms with dedicated touch panels by the end of WQ 2023.
