 ====== Using the InFocus 3D projector ======
-The ceiling mounted InFocus projector in front of the room can be used to display regular presentations from a laptop or workstation (''w12'') but it is also capable of displaying 3D content. The 3D functionality of the projector can be used either for displaying 3D content from the Linux workstation (''w12.keck2.ucsd.edu'') or from the Blu-ray player connected to the projector in front of the room.
+The ceiling mounted InFocus projector in front of the room can be used to display regular presentations from a laptop but it is also capable of displaying 3D content.
-===== Using laptop =====
-  * Turn the projector on using the wall switch on the right wall in front of the room.
+===== Using Windows or Linux laptop with VGA or HDMI cable =====
-  * Make sure VGA is selected as the source. If it is not use the "source" button either on the wall switch or on the projector remote.
-  * Plug in the VGA cable (labeled VGA, on the side table in the front of KeckII) to your laptop's VGA port.
-  * Switch your laptop to the projector mode (usually Fn-F8 but this vary by laptop manufacturer).
+  - Power up the projector by pressing the Power button using either the wall switch or the remote control for the projector (labeled InFocus). If using the remote make sure you are pointing it at the projector. Wait approximately 1 min until you see the projector's startup image on the projector screen.
+  - Use the wall switch or remote to select the appropriate Source – either **VGA1** or **HDMI**. This depends on what cable you are connecting to you laptop. The HDMI cable has a flat connector, the VGA cable has a wider connector with 15 pins.
+  - Plug in the appropriate video cable (VGA or HDMI) to your laptop. Your laptop must be turned on already.
+  - Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external VGA video port when a projector is connected. Usually a key combination like Fn + F8 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on and off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol and press Fn and the labeled function key simultaneously.
+  - When you have finished using the projector, please turn it off by pressing the Power button on either the wall switch or the remote control.
-===== Using the Linux workstation =====
+===== Using Apple device with AirPlay =====
+  - Power up the projector by pressing the Power button on either the wall switch or the remote control (labeled InFocus). If using the remote make sure you are pointing it at the projector. Wait approximately 1 min until you see the projector's start-up image on the projector screen.
+  - Use the wall switch or remote to select **HDMI** as the Source. Do not connect any cables to your laptop, iPad or iPhone.
+  - You should see Apple TV home screen on the projector screen.
+  - Ensure that your iOS device is on the UCSD-PROTECTED Wi-Fi network. On the iOS device, swipe up to reveal the Control Center. Tap the “AirPlay Mirroring” button. Select “Keck” from the list. On your Apple device, enter the four-digit code that appears on the projector screen. You should be now connected. If the connection fails, cancel AirPlay and try to connect again. Note: You need to have iOS version 10.12 or higher on your Apple device for AirPlay to work.
+  - When you have finished using the projector, please turn it off by pressing the Power button on either the wall switch or the remote control.
-  * Turn the projector on using the wall switch on the right wall in front of the room.
-  * make sure the Blu-ray video scaler is Off. It is located on top of the BD player in the lower shelf behind the plexiglass. The red LED should be lighted. If the green LED is on you need to turn the unit off by pressing the power on/off button on the front panel.
-  * Log in to''w12.keck2.ucsd.edu'' workstation - this is the workstation closest to the projector screen in front of the room.
-  * After you log in there the projector should show part of your linux desktop. If it is not see troubleshooting steps below.
-  * Open a terminal vindow and start NVidia application ''nvidia-settings''. This application will allow you to change resolution of the projected image and also will help you to turn on 3D mode of the projector.
-  * Disable GPU scaling on both DFP-0 and DFP-2 (DFP-2 -> Flat Panel Scaling -> Force Full GPU Scalling). {{:wiki:scaling.png?direct&100|}}
-  * To switch the projector to 3D mode change the projector screen resolution (on DFP-2) to ''1280x720'' and select ''120Hz'' as the refresh rate (X Server Display Configuration -> Resolution). Click ''Apply''. The image on the projector screen should dim a little. {{:wiki:resolution.png?direct&100|}}
-  * Now the projector is ready to display 3D content from your application.
-  * To actually see the 3D effect you need to put on one pair of 3D glasses and turn them on. This is done by briefly pushing the On button on the left inside of the glasses' frame. The image should go dark for about 1 sec indicating the glasses are on. You don't need to turn the glasses off after you are done, they will turn off automatically,
-==== Troubleshooting ====
-If there is no image on the projector screen make sure:
-  * the projector is on
-  * the Optima video scaler is off. The scaler is located on top of the BD player, the red LED must be on. If it is not turn the unit off by pressing the power on/off button. The green LED should change to red.
-  * you are logged in to the ''w12'' workstation
-If there is an image but it is distorted or wrong resolution - use ''nvidia-settings'' application to change the resolution.
-===== Using the Blu-ray player =====
-  * Turn on the BD player using remote.
-  * Turn on the video scaler which is located on the top of the BD player.
-  * Use the remote to open the BD player tray and load DVD or BD disc.
-  * The projector should automatically switch to ''HDMI source'' and display the BD player video.
-  * Please don't forget to turn off both the BD player and scaler after you are done.
-====== Applications to display 3D content ======
-===== VMD =====
-To enable stereo in VMD load your molecule and then go to ''Display -> Stereo-> Quadbuffered''. The molecule representation on the projector screen should change to a slightly shifted double image. Put on the stereo glasses and turn them on. You should be able to see the image in 3D now. If the image looks a little strange and there is no depth perspective try to swap the stereo eyes: ''Display-> Stereo Eye Swap -> On''.
-===== Schrodinger =====
-Start ''maestro'', load your molecule and turn on stereo by checking the stereo option in ''View -> Stereo''.
-===== Dino =====
-Dino is a movie player which allows to display 3D content.
