Instructions for using the Logitech Rally AV system in the Kresge Room

The Logitech Rally AV system is used for hybrid meetings and includes a video camera, microphone array, and speakers.

Remote attendees will....

...be able to hear everybody in the Kresge Room via the microphone array...

...be able to view the projection screen/whiteboard through the ceiling mounted camera...

...be heard by local attendees through the ceiling-mounted speakers

Using the system

1) Turn on the power to the Logitech system by pressing the power button on the wall ONCE:

2) After a few seconds, look at the shelf above the power button where the system's controllers reside and see if the two power lights are on (they may be on solid or blinking). If you can see them, the system is on:

3) Connect the USB cable on the wall to your laptop (or the laptop from the podium if using that). This one cable provides microphone/speaker/camera connectivity:

NOTE: The Rally system does not handle local video...you must connect the HDMI cable on the wall to your computer if you want to display video from your computer on the projector

4) In the settings for your videoconferencing app (presumably Zoom), set the video/microphone/speaker device to be "Logitech Rally"

5) The remote control for the Rally system looks like this...

...and here are what the buttons are for...

The buttons labled as "9" in the above picture are presets for the ceiling mounted camera...1 will have the camera automatically zoom in on the projection screen while 2 will have the camera automatically zoom in on both the projection screen and the whiteboard.
