For touchless control of all AV system and room
functions, buttons, knobs, and sliders on the room's
AV control panel can be remoted to a smartphone, tablet,
or laptop. There are two ways to set this up. One way is to
install a control app on a personal device, which provides
control via a web browser interface (Figure 7). The other
has the user scan a QR code and enter a username and
password to mirror an exact replica of the control panel
to the screen of the personal device, as shown in Figure 8.
To ensure security, both methods require a username and
password to take control.
