HP Classroom Manager 10.61

Adjusting Audio settings

You can adjust the audio settings within HP Classroom Manager to match the capabilities of your multimedia

workstations or to fine tune performance. However, you should note that the higher the quality of sound you

select, the greater the volume of data that needs to be sent. This can affect screen update performance on slower

workstations.

To Access the Volume Controls

1. Right click on the speaker icon in the task bar.

To change other options such as sound quality, do one of the following: -

Global Method (Changes default setting for all Clients)

HP Classroom Manager Video Player

HP Classroom Manager provides exceptional multimedia support with full Audio, Video and remote control

capabilities.

While the Video Player can be used to run a video file on the local workstation, HP Classroom Manager‟s remote

control capabilities combined with full Audio Support enable you to use this tool to enhance training sessions and

demonstrations across multiple PCs simultaneously.

All standard video files, for example .avi and .mpg, are supported. The Video Player runs locally on each Client

workstation and the video file can be accessed locally or from a network drive. If video files are stored locally the

impact on the network is minimized as only the data to control the player, e.g. start, stop, pause and

synchronization packets, are sent. If each Client machine retrieves the video file from a network drive you will

place additional demands on the network.

For optimum performance, store the video files locally on each workstation, you may wish to use File Distribution to

do this.

Other influencing factors will be:

 The number of Client workstations accessing the file;

 The speed of the network e.g.: 10/100 MB;

 The size of the video file;

 Client workstation memory/performance specification;

 Other traffic on the network.
