The illustration above is an example of a dual monitor dual screen media lectern. Some University Classrooms have dual-projectors, also known as a dual screen environment, and are similar to other classrooms that have an A/V system to project content. The main advantage of these dual monitor dual screen learning spaces is having two computer monitors at the lectern, and two projectors/monitors that can be used to display content. While using the system you may use the screens together or independently, via the A/V control panel interface.
Controlling the dual monitor dual screen capability in a University Classroom is dependent on the type of A/V control panel interface, so it is not standard. While some of the button names vary, the process is typically similar.
