What will I need to bring along to accompany my laptop or other AV equipment allowing me to connect to the LCD projector, sound system, or the Internet in a Media-Basic or Media-Plus room?
Along with the usual paraphernalia of power adapters & power cords specific to your equipment, should you also need to connect to resources on the LAN or Internet, you will need to bring with you a standard Ethernet cable to connect your equipment into the room’s network wall jack. For connecting to a room’s LCD projector, you will need a standard 15-pin (with male ends) VGA cable to go between the room’s video input connector and your device. For connecting to the room’s audio, you will need a cable that is able to connect to your equipment’s audio output and either of two standard audio inputs (RCA or 3.5-mm mono / stereo cables with male ends). Please keep in mind that many of these rooms are NOT adjacent to a Multimedia Support Office or equipment storage space and while a support office might have a loaner cable for your use, it may not be a short walk down the hall to pick up and return a cable; nor is there any guarantee that our standard cable will work with your AV equipment.
