Quick Start

Control Equipment

In the storage room of the Rose Gallery, you will find a 2 channel receiver for the wireless microphones, an XLR input, and Crestron control panel.

 

You can find the Rose Gallery control equipment in the locked storage room within the gallery (Room 101A). 

  • Crestron panel to power on/off the projector, raise/lower the screen and control the volume.
  • Input panel located below the projector screen (HDMI/VGA inputs and a 3.5mm audio jack).
  • Wireless lavalier micophone.
  • Wireless handheld microphone.

 

Starting the System

    2. Press the appropriate Source button to adjust the volume. The Control Source button should be used to adjust the volume of a laptop connected to the input panel. The Control Mic button should be used to adjust the wireless microphones.
    3. Adjust the Volume on the Crestron panel with the volume knob. The blue light indicates the current volume level. A mute button is available below the knob.
  2. (Optional) Remove the microphone(s) from the receiver case drawer. Turn the microphone(s) on and confirm they have sufficient battery power (both use two AA batteries). Perform a sound check and adjust the volume for the speaker(s).

  3. Close the doors to Room 101A and check that they are locked.

Lighting Adjustments

The Rose Gallery has a built-in lighting system that can be adjusted to suit the event's needs. This panel allows the user to adjust the brightness of all lights (Off, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and independently control the 14 light tracks and two can light arrays.

  1. You will find the lighting control panel and a printed diagram of the lighting tracks at the west end of the glass wall (to the left after entering the Rose Gallery).

  2. Touch the lighting control panel to wake it. The first panel should have four buttons to change the lighting from 25% to 100% in 25% increments. The fifth button on this panel will turn off all lights. If you want to adjust a specific track, touch the arrow icons at the bottom left and right until you find the appropriate track.

Using a Laptop

The green LED identifies which input is being used. Although the input should automatically switch, there is a small button above and to the left of the VGA input to change between HDMI and VGA.
    The Rose Gallery Crestron input panel can be found below the projector screen with inputs for HDMI, VGA and 3.5mm audio.
