Laptop Projection
Instructions |
-
The desk has built-in power
outlets, PC
Audio and
Ethernet (UT network and internet access) jacks, and a
built-in VGA video cable to connect your
laptop to the LCD Projector.
- To connect your laptop
computer, simply plug in the desk's VGA cable
(supplied under the black plate on the desktop) to
the VGA port of your laptop computer. There is another
VGA connector available under the plate as an alternate
in case the attached cable breaks. If two laptops are
connected to the desk's VGA ports, the fixed port will
override the cable version. If you have audio in your
presentation you will also need to connect a PC audio
cable (PC Audio and Ethernet cables are available for
checkout from
Media Services.)
- Turn on your computer, press
the Projection On, and PC buttons on the
desk's touch screen. If your laptop's screen appears on
the room's screen you are ready to go, if not, you may
need to mirror your laptop's screen onto the projector.
To do this on a Dell computer, hit the FN and
F8 keys at the same time until you see your laptop
content on the screen. Hitting FN-F8 successively
will scroll through the available viewing choices. The
command to mirror your laptop's screen may be different
on other manufacturer's computers, if you have any
questions please consult this
PDF
chart.
