Men in the Wall


IMAC VERSION


FIRST TIME SETUP


Line four computers up re labels on the back or base, LEFT, MIDLEFT, MIDRIGHT (no label), RIGHT. (preferably touching with no gap between them)
Plug in the sound system to the RIGHT computer’s headphone output. Green mini jack goes to subwoofer and two min speakers connect (colour coded) to subwoofer. Check green lights are lit up on mini speakers.
Plug in mice receivers into top USB port on each computer. The mice receivers should be placed as close together as possible and within at least a metre of each other. Plug in keyboards to second USB port. Plug radio mouse into mains charger (small black charger).
Switch on all four computers with power switch on back. They should go into the four films immediately but not in sync. Check that moving the mouse causes all four of the mouse receivers to blink their green lights. If not reset the mouse receiver by pressing the button on each one so that all four are blinking - then press the button on the bottom of the mouse. All four receivers should stop blinking.
To sync the films press the central button (scroll wheel). All four films should freeze.
Then press the right button - all four films should go to the start (black screen). Then press the central button again - all four films should play in sync.
The four characters should be in the same order (left to right) as the publicity photos.
Use the volume controls on the top right of the keyboards to set the volumes of the films on computers - each voice should be roughly the same volume – probably all four will be on maximum volume. The music from the speaker system can be further adjusted with the little touch controls on one of the mini speakers.
To shut down press the left mouse button (the films should all quit) then the right button and then the middle button (all computers should now shut down).
The keyboards can now be removed.


DAILY RUNNING
The keyboards do not need to be plugged in, only the mouse receivers and sound system.
Start up the computers using the power switches on the backs
When all four are running the films press the central (scroll) button, the right button and then the central button again to sync them up.
After two hours and a half the computers may drift slightly time wise. To resync them wait till the end of the solea section (the four factories with guitar music) when the picture fades to black then press the central button, the right button and the central button. (if no one is watching them the computers can be resnynced at any point)
When running take the mouse away from the computers to avoid accidental interference with the computers.
To shut down press the left button, then the right button, then the central (scroll) button
