Using 1011: AirPlay

It is possible to user AirPlay to mirror or extend the display of AirPlay compatible Airplay devices to the projector by way of the Mac Mini.

On the Crestron Console

  1. Go to the Crestron LCD panel on top of the 1011 video equipment cabinet. Select "Mac Mini" as the presentation device.
  2. The Mac desktop should appear on the projector screen, and the "neyman" user should be logged in. If this isn’t the case, log in as the "neyman" user with no password.
  3. Locate the neyman AirPort password printed at the top of the background image. This password changes periodically for security reasons.

On The Presenter's Mac Laptop
