One or both of these sources can be used, either as a single source for display simultaneously on all screen designs, or split between screen designs with two possible views. | ||
======Apple TV Connection====== | |||
If you have an AirPlay-capable device such as an iPhone, iPad or Macbook, using the Apple TV is usually a better choice as you can broadcast from any location in the room. | |||

When the video wall system is powered down, the Touch Pad screen should be dark. Touch the pad and a welcome screen with the RCS logo will be present. Touch the pad again and you should be presented with a row of persistent icons on the top: '''Settings''' (which is locked with a password); '''Apple TV Control''', which mimics a Apple TV remote; a digital clock showing the current time; and a '''power button icon''' which will let you choose to continue the power off sequence or cancel. If no action is taken from this screen, the system will power down after 30 seconds to a minute. | When the video wall system is powered down, the Touch Pad screen should be dark.

Below that is a persistent set of icons which represent available input sources: '''Apple TV''', '''Wall Plate''', '''Floor Box''' (unused), '''Media Player 1''' and '''Media Player 2'''. Underneath these input sources is a graphical representation of the current setup of the video wall, which can be used in one of four configurations: '''SIDE x SIDE,''' '''FULL''', '''PRESENTATION 1''' and '''PRESENTATION 2'''.

The content from the two '''Media Player''' sources are not under user control, and are maintained by the school's Communications Department to show videos and slideshows.
