Guidelines for Users of Computer Display Projectors
PC and Mac compatible
SVGA (800×600, 640×480)
|
- Have your display set to 640x480 or 800x600 (avoid 1024x768 - it may
not display correctly). Know how to configure your video settings in case
there is a problem.
- Avoid delays from booting your computer at the start of the presentation.
Some computers require the projector be attached in order for the video
port to be activated - use a computer that is able to detect a video display
without requiring a reboot.
The ideal scenario would be to load the presentation software and
open the slide show prior to the presentation, and then put the computer
in a "suspend" or "sleep" state. At the start of the
presentation, attach the projector to the video port, and then "wake"
or "resume" the computer.
- Know how to activate your computer's video port - this often requires
a specific key combination and is different on different computers.
- Bring your computer's power cable/cord and use it to be sure of a strong
signal from the computer to the projector. Do not plan to power your computer
with the battery. You will not need an extension cord.
- There will be no remote control, so plan on running the keyboard yourself.
|
It is highly recommended that you use your
computer with an
800x600 display projector prior to the meetings so you will be familiar
with the connection and configuration required for your type of computer.
A preview room with LCD panel will be available.

Special Note for Macintosh Users
- You must bring your own docking cable for the connection between the
computer and the projector.
- You must have "Video Mirroring" on your system. This can
be loaded from the System disks (version 7.0 and higher).
