AIRC 127: Smart Room Instructions

AIRC 127 is a video telepresence room that seats 12 people around loose tables and chairs.

This room has a widescreen projector which will match the resolution of laptops with widescreen displays. Best results will be with the laptop display resolution set to 1920×1080, but the projector will automatically adjust to other resolutions such as 1024×768. The video conferencing equipment in this room works best when connected to other video telepresence rooms.
