No. Using Mute or Hide may make it look like the screens are off. They are actually just displaying a black picture. To preserve the life of the screens ITS asks that the Display Off or Power Down function be used when not being used for an extended period of time.

On occasion the computer might be left in extended desktop. The computer is normally set to "Duplicate" so it can share the presentation view to the projector/TV..

The computer display mode can be toggled.

Windows: + P

Press the "Windows key" and the "P" key simultaneously. This will show a pop up on the right side of the screen allowing you toggle between display modes.

If you press and hold the Windows key and tap the "P" key in succession, this will cycle the display modes. You will see the screen flash as it cycles between each mode.


MacOS: + F1

Pressing the Command key and the F1 key simultaneously will cycle the the Mac display between Extended and Duplicate display modes.

In some cases it is possible to attempt to send the power command to the projector if its in a cooling state.

Check the projector to see if it has a blinking light. If there is a blinking light on the projector, wait a couple of minutes for the light to stop blinking and try again.
