Room Special Features

An AMX console is the centrepiece for switching between AV content. The beauty of the AMX console is to allow users to switch easily between content sources with no fuss! Put simply, when you hit the DVD button for your source, the AMX takes care of all the little details for you:

• Dropping the projector screen,
• Turning on the Data Projector and selecting the DVD as preferred source
• Playing audio through wall mounted speakers

The DVD player used in conjunction with the switching system supports multiple DVD regions as well as PAL/NTSC video support.

The ceiling mounted data projector is permanently connected to the teacher's computer. An Apple or Windows laptop can also be connected to the data projector via a spare connecting cable.

Each HP Compaq D530SFF Desktop offers:

• Genesis classroom management software
• Acrobat Reader
• FireFox as default Internet Browser
• Office 2003 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher and Access) and Antivirus
• QuickTime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Players
