3.1 The Multi-Functional AVDS System
You can use the AVDS system in the following ways:
Without the Control Unit
The AVDS system constantly broadcasts a computer screen with audio to all
remote monitors/speakers.
With the Control Unit
• Broadcast a computer screen with audio to all remote monitors/speakers
• Darken all remote screens (audio broadcast is unaffected)
• Release the remote screens to allow local monitor viewing (when remote
computers are connected)
The screen dark function is useful when carrying out maintenance, changing the
broadcast program or in a classroom environment to grab students’ attention.
