Audio Visual Room Controller Refresh

What’s happening? 

Audio Visual (AV) room controllers in many high utilisation common teaching areas across the University’s three Adelaide campuses (North Terrace, Waite, and Roseworthy) have reached ‘end of life’. This means the chances the equipment will fail increases. The University will take the opportunity over the summer break to install the new interfaces, to minimise the impacts on teaching activities.  

When will it happen? 

From mid-December until early February, the AV Squad will be visiting campuses to upgrade the interfaces in high utilisation shared teaching spaces. A list of rooms successfully upgraded can be viewed here and will be updated regularly. The rooms will be booked via timetabling during the installation period to allow the technicians clear access and minimise the impacts on regular campus activities for other users.  

What are the changes from the old ones? 

The new AV interfaces have more functionality and allow the ITDS Service Desk to remotely access to help resolve any issues.  AV Controller instructions are available on the ITDS Self Help Guides website, or download a copy here.

How can I get training?  

ITDS staff will be hosting a series of 'come-n-try' sessions on each campus to allow staff to get hands-on practice. All academics are encouraged to come and ask questions. For specific details please email it.training@adelaide.edu.au  

Please log a ticket using the MyIT portal if you have any questions about the program.  

Can I check one out now?

Yes! A new interface has been installed in Room 121 of the Physics Building on the North Terrace Campus if you want to have a sneak preview.
