Scotty - Lecture Hall Control Panel

The Leibniz University Hannover upgraded its second largest lecture hall, the large physics lecture hall­ (E214), with up to date video projectors and cross switches.

I developed a web-based control panel that allows the presenter or his assistant to select a video source for each of the projectors. Thus, with a single mouse click, the input of RGB cable on experimentation desk 4 can be displayed on projector 2. Behind the scenes the video cross switch is given a new route and the projector is set to the appropriate input.
Due to the web-based nature, non-faculty presenters can use the panel without installing any software on their own laptops and even handheld devices are able to run it.
