MH 122 Projectors
The undergrad lab/collaboration room in Malone Hall room 122 has a projector in the main room which is available for use. It is connected to the ugrad1 lab machine and has video connectors on top of the ugrad1/ugrad2 table for use with laptops. There is also a projector in each of the small breakout rooms. The breakout room projectors have connectors to be used with laptops.
Using the Main Projector with the ugrad1 Lab Machine
The lab machine defaults to a side-by-side configuration for the monitor and projector. Simply drag windows off the right side of the monitor to put them on the projector.
In some cases, it may be more convenient to have the projector displaying the same thing as the monitor (screen mirroring). To activate this with the default login environment (Mate):
- Go to the "System" menu at the top of the screen.
- Open the "Preferences" submenu.
- Open the "Hardware" submenu.
- Click on the "Monitors" entry.
- In the "Monitor Preferences" window that opens, click the checkbox labeled "Same image in all monitors".
- Click the "Apply" button.
- In the "Does the display look OK?" dialog box that comes up, click the "Keep This Configuration" button.
Using the Main Projector with a Laptop
Plug your laptop into the white box on top of the table closest to the printer. The box accepts either VGA or HDMI connections. If you only have DVI or DisplayPort on your laptop, you'll need an adapter. If you use the VGA connector and you want to use the room's speakers, you'll need to connect an audio cable from your laptop's speaker or line out jack to the audio jack on the box.
Using the Breakout Room Projectors
Each breakout room has VGA and HDMI connectors on the wall. There are also audio jacks to be used in conjunction with the VGA connectors.
Connect your laptop to either the HDMI or VGA connector. Press the appropriate button on the input selection panel to the left of the connectors.
When you're done, please press the "PWR OFF" button on the input selection panel to turn off the projector.
