It is possible to connect a laptop computer to the multimedia equipment in Smith Hall.
Follow steps 1, 2 and 5 - 7 above, then proceed to step A below. |
|
| Step A |
Locate the HD15 cable on the top of the multimedia lectern. This cable is the same type used to connect a desktop computer to a monitor, in the photo below, it is shown between the mouse and the monitor, but it may be tucked behind the monitor. |
 |
| Step 2 |
Plug the HD15 cable into the HD15 port on the laptop computer.
The lectern will automatically detect the laptop computer, and display it on the data projector. If the desktop computer is turned on, the laptop computer signal will automatically override the desktop signal.
|
 |
| Hint |
If the laptop computer is turned on and connected properly, and steps 1, 2 and 5 -7 have been followed, yet the image is not seen on the data projector, use the laptop computer's display toggle feature. These steps vary from manufacturer, but generally the external display port can be turned on and off by holding down the blue "FN" key, and pressing "F4." |

| Hint |
To resume using the desktop computer, simply unplug the HD15 cable from the laptop computer, and the projector will automatically switch back. |
