Controls with the Crestron Panel
On the home screen of the Crestron Panel, there are five tabs as follows: Room Select, Displays, Audio, Lights/Shades, and Capture.
Room Select
This tab includes a variety of sub tabs as detailed below:
Microphone Routing
This includes the 7 mics and how you allocate the different mics to different rooms
All rooms option
Note: If you choose all rooms, do not worry that the previously selected room stays highlighted
Audio
This tab is in charge of the audio floor box controls
Specifically, those with podium capabilities
The audio from whatever device is plugged into the floor box
By default, this is generally the In-Room PC, but it can also be the HDMI or wePresent
Projector Controls
This tab is in charge of the visual floor box controls
Allows the user to display different camera orientations from various points within the room
I.e. in 299 you can display from the camera in 298, as well as view what content they are displaying
Overrides/Orientation
This tab is in charge of the walls, lights, shades, etc.
MediaSite 1, 2, and 3
This tab consists of recording controls.
Note: lacks some functionality, you cannot use the multiple cameras or move the camera
Displays
This includes an option for Power (On or Off) and Source; i.e. Where the content that is displayed is being streamed from. This can be either the Floorbox - which sources from the Podium or the Camera.

Lights/Shades
Same as the Overrides/Orientation tab described under Room Select, but only for the specific room in which you are controlling from.
