There
are 3 computer options:
1)
Built in PC
2)
Built in Mac
3)
User's own laptop
The
PC has Powerpoint; the Mac has Powerpoint
and Keynote. Both have the web conference software, GoToMeeting.
There’s a USB to each to upload your files.
Because
there are now multiple computers, you will need to make sure the sound and
video are coming from the correct source.
The
video switcher goes to 3 displays: left projector, right projector, and
lectern.
The
USB switcher goes to 2 devices: audio, and keyboard/mouse.
USING
THE PC
1)
Set the 3 displays to PC, using the video switcher buttons.
2)
Set the 2 USB devices to PC, using the USB switcher buttons.
3)
Load your files use USB cable for PC.
4)
Launch GoToMeeting if you're hosting a web conf.
USING
THE MAC
1)
Same, except set to Mac.
2)
Same, except set to Mac.
3)
Same, except cable for Mac.
4)
Same.
USING
YOUR LAPTOP
1)
Connect cable. It's VGA, so make sure you have an adapter if you need
one.
2)
Set the video switcher buttons for the 2 projector displays to LAPTOP. You
probably won't be looking at the lectern display.
3)
Ignore the USB switcher; your laptop doesn't go to it. If you want to use
the audio device for web conference, you can physically plug it into your
laptop's USB port. You won't need the lectern's keyboard/mouse.
4)
If you want to host a web conference, you will need to install GoToMeeting on your laptop in advance. It's easy to
do and pretty harmless. The first time you use it, you will need the department account log in.
