Troubleshooting 4. Troubleshooting CAT AV is truly the media hub of the classroom supporting speech reinforcement, full range multimedia sound, and video switching and control. Amplifier and Cable The unique wireless control that can be mounted anywhere in the classroom and moved as often as necessary as there are no wires to install or move. You can locate it on your teaching wall or you can take with you for control anywhere in the room. Up to four infrared wireless REDMIKE Volume control microphones provide clear distribution of the teachers voice across the entire classroom. 3. Setup & Use 3. Setup & Use The AV switcher allows up to four audio and video inputs (two VGA and two composite). The switcher directs the selected AV input and sends the Audio via CAT-5 cable to the system amplifier. It also directs the selected video signal to the Video Converter module where it is converted back to its appropriate video connector and signal type to connect with the classroom projector. Designed for the classroom, CAT AV is fast and simple to install. Three CAT-5 2. Installation 2.
