Section I - D-BOX Experience: Rolling Media Cart Components and How to Display Images on the Video Monitor | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
The rolling media cart has 7 major components indicated above. The cart is fully capable of playing back media independently of the projection system. See Section ??? for details on sending audio and video to the projector. The D-BOX chair can recognize and playback feature titles on Blu-Ray discs, DVD discs, or Video On Demand services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO MAX, etc. Please bring your own media with you! | |||||||
1.) Turn on the Video Monitor using the provided remote control. The red indicator light in the bottom left corner of the monitor should turn green when powered on. If there is not a red or green light visible in the bottom left corner of the monitor, confirm the physical power button is depressed under the ↓POWER label. | |||||||
2.) Confirm the Crestron HDMI Source Switcher has power. There are 4 available HDMI Inputs/Sources and 2 available HDMI Outputs. Review the Image to the right with the information below: HDMI Input 1: Sony PS4 Console (Orange) HDMI Input 2: Microsoft XBOX One Console (Green) HDMI Input 3: Spare Laptop or Plug-and-Play Input (Yellow) HDMI Input 4: Spare Laptop or Plug-and-Play Input (Purple) HDMI Output 1: Quadrant 2 Video Monitor HDMI Output 2: Projection Screen/Audio De-Embedder (Down-mixing) Routing your inputs and outputs can be advanced. A single input can be routed to both outputs, or two inputs can be routed individually to each output. We'll cover this more below in Step 4. | |||||||
3.) For laptop playback, connect the HDMI Input 4: Spare Laptop and/or Plug-and-Play Input (Purple) cable to your laptop. If your laptop does not have an internal HDMI port, you may need to use an adapter as illustrated here. Be sure to bring it with you as well as your power supply! | |||||||
Once you've connected the HDMI cable, be sure to set your audio and video settings properly on your laptop (Set both to CRESTRON.) | |||||||
4.) Reviewing the Crestron HDMI Switcher, routing is fairly simply. Sources and Outputs that are available are Amber colored. Sources and Outputs currently selected and assigned are Green colored. In this instance, I have the Sony PS4 powered on and currently selected. Input 1 is Green but the Outputs have not yet been assigned and are Amber. | |||||||
To select my laptop, I will press the Input 4 button. It will begin to flash. | |||||||
5.) Now that I have my input selected, I need to assign my output(s). Press the Output 1 button to assign Input 4 to the Video Monitor. | |||||||
6.) Additionally, to make sure the D-BOX chair gets the proper down-mixed audio signal, you need to also route your Input to Output 2 by pressing the Output 2 button. | |||||||
An example of Input 4 properly connected to both Output 1 & 2 is illustrated here | |||||||
8.) Once your Inputs are routed, begin to play your media from the start of the program. Please note: always start titles from the beginning. The technology may need 1-2 minutes to accurately synch and load the corresponding motion code. Once the chair becomes responsive, you may jump around the movie to experience different chapters/scenes. | |||||||
9.) Use caution when sitting in the D-BOX chair. The platform is capable of vibrating heavily and shifting axis' quickly. The platform is completely secure, and you will not unintentionally fall out of the chair. Most importantly, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride/experience | |||||||
10.) Dependent on your media, the audio source may be Stereo or Surround. Listening out loud via the 6 surround sound speakers is the preferable method. To adjust the volume:
The higher the VOL indicator reads on the display, the louder your sound/speaker volume will be. | |||||||
If playing audio out loud is not allowable (i.e. class is in session) the audio may also be enjoyed via the pair of Sony Headphones. The cord is long-enough to reach the chair, but feel free to move the rolling cart closer to the chair, if necessary. To adjust the volume of the headphones:
ALWAYS EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN USING HEADPHONES! LOUD SOUNDS AND MUSIC CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR HEARING. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO START WITH THE HEADPHONES VOLUME ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND GRADUALLY INCREASE THE VOLUME UNTIL COMFORTABLE IN THE HEADSET. | |||||||
11.) For a list of the titles with available motion code please review the following PDF. |
