Connecting laptop computers

All the rooms supported by VAVS have been fitted with cables for the purpose of connecting a laptop to the audio visual system.

However MacBook users will in some rooms need an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter as VAVS does not provide them.

AV leads

  • Audio – to feed audio from laptop to system

  • Video – to feed laptop screen to system - Please bear in mind the screen resolution during videoconferencing must be set at a maximum of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA). Any higher resolution will in videoconferencing mode give you a very black projector or flat panel display with absolutely nothing on it.

  • LAN – connect if access to network/Internet is required
