UPDATE for 2023! The PC will start up automatically when the main power comes on for tech in the room [the EMO device]. So there’s no need to manually start up the PC.
If you need to shut down the PC and restart it, follow the instructions below …
Open the flap of the PC. The power switch is bottom-left inside – press it once.
Startup takes about a minute, after which you’ll get the login screen on the righthand monitor.
Quick usage tips
- The password is our usual, with capitals.
- The PIN is 6241 (it will ask for this if it’s gone to sleep)
- The computer has a multi-monitor setup. Information about which screen is which is here.
- The mouse and keyboard go to sleep to save battery – press a button to wake either of them. [more here]
- The projector and TVs need to be switched on & off separately, using the remote controls in the drawer at the bottom of the rack by your left leg.
- Software available on the computer includes:
ProPresenter – for song display, presentations, videos, etc
Edge for web browsing / YouTube playback
PowerPoint, 
Word and 
Excel – for creating / editing files
GIMP – for editing photos
AirServer – for projecting from a phone/tablet [more here]
Spotify – for music playback (we have a premium licence, so there will be no adverts, and the church’s copyright licence permits the playing of any commercially copyrighted material)
Zoom – for video conferencing
NDI Tools – to create or view NDI video streams
OBS Studio – for multi-camera video switching / streaming (although we also have a hardware switcher in the PA store room)
