RAB-001 Audio malfunction

The program audio in RAB-001 (used in connection with VCR's, DVD's, etc.) was producing excessive noise and we shut it down for repair. Until repairs have been completed, audio will be generated by a portable speaker that we set on top of the podium.

Operation is fairly simple. The speaker should turn on when the system is activated. A red light will be seen on the front. If not, then then speaker may be turned on manually by pushing a rocker switch on the back. Volume may be adjusted with a knob on the front.

Hickman 138 screen

Please be advised that the center projection screen in Hickman 138 is stuck in the down position and can not retract back into the housing. Due to the heavy usage of the lecture hall, and the time required to make the repairs, the earliest we can have a vendor come in to conduct the repairs will be Friday, January 27.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

Winter Break upgrades

Enhanced Classroom Support has upgraded audio visual equipment in a number of classrooms and lecture halls during the winter break. Below is a summary of the major improvements: (for more information and photos of these classrooms, please search for a building or campus at our web page http://cat.rutgers.edu/ecs/ ).
Please note that rooms below that use "RUWired" internet connections require faculty and instructors to log in to the network before accessing the internet, similar to the wireless networks elsewhere on campus. The process is simple and should require no change to laptop settings, but instructions are available at http://ruwired.rutgers.edu/index.php?page=login for reference.
