Dual Monitor-Single Screen Media Lectern

 

The illustration above is an example of a dual monitor single screen media lectern. Some University Classrooms have dual projectors, also known as a dual screen environment. The main advantage of these dual monitor single screen learning spaces is having two computer monitors at the lectern with a single projector/monitor that can be used to display content, particularly Microsoft PowerPoint notes to the presenter.

Controlling the dual monitor single 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.
